I, Mudd // Star Trek: The Original Series Reaction // Season 2

I went to a Sci Fi Con and a couple dressed as Harvey Mudd and Stella. It was great.

'Whistling phasers' are a high point. The Kirk 'defeating computers' trope continues...

One of the best. Star Trek comedic episodes are highly underrated in my opinion. 😂❤😂

One of the great things about Star Trek is the loyalty of the crew.

This is the beauty of science fiction. It can be many things at once. Intriguing, educational, lovely, horrifying, humorous, sad, brilliant.

Uhura was supposed to fool us! That's what the script called for and that's how good an actress she was. So, no apology necessary for being fooled - as I was when I first saw it

The thing with Uhura was the "expected escape attempt" so they could implement the real plan. But yeah, it caught me off guard the first time I saw it, too.

"They all have a lot of rewatch ability." Understatement of the century!

The "Alices" were portrayed by twins Alyce and Rhae Andrece. Little has been published about them; they had a singing act together. Each is deceased.

Harry Mudd. Everyone's favorite criminal.

This is one of the episodes that you can really tell that almost all of the actors were trained classically and have acted in theater.

Yes! You're wearing "THE" outfit. Thanks for another great reaction. Very cute.

Generally speaking, if you can start a sentence with, "Is there Star Trek fan fiction about ...", the answer is yes.

Just legendary. Spock telling the robot he loves her. The grand theatrical routine to short out Norman. SO. FREAKING. GOOD.

Seeing the wife number 500 never fails to make me laugh. There is revenge and then there is going beyond cruel...... Even Uhura gives a cruel wave at the end saying "enjoy sucker"

@bunnytailsREACTS I, Mudd is another clear highlight from the second season. Instead of the Androids coming across as sinister and dangerous, they are loveable and goofy, just like Harry Mudd is. A real fun fact is that right up to the first night filming began for this episode, series creator and Producer Gene Roddenberry had been in a panic looking for two female identical twins to portray the 500 identical female Androids the script called for. While driving home, just by chance he spotted then then 31 year old identical twins Alyce and Rhae Andrece walking down the street together. Neither were trained actresses, but Roddenberry saw their beauty and knew they were perfect for the roles. Roddenberry literally pulled over beside them, jumped out of his car and told them who he was, the offer he had and the promise that within a few weeks of filming, that they were going to be on television.

A.I. is the reason the world needs Captain Kirk.

Star Trek, at its best, is just SO good at turning these little philosophical ideas into 50-minute bundles of fun.

I love how Star Trek covered such a wide range of genres in just 3 seasons. From fantastic but melancholy episodes like "City on the Edge of Forever" to complete silliness.

Yay the Red uniform is back!
