I Mudd what did I just see boring or what

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I went in thinking it would be an episode which would have dated badly, but it was fun, if silly.
 
Some of the best lines in Trek:

"Har-court! Harcourt Fenton Mudd!"

"Thing...thing...thing..."

"We must be aboot our jobs, sufferin' and dyin'!"

"Logic is a little tweeting bird, chirping in a meadow. Logic is wreath of pretty flowers that smell bad. Are you sure your circuits are registering correctly? Your ears are green!"

"I love you; but I hate you."

"Norman, coordinate!"

"But it's a wery nice guilded cage!"

"I fail to understand why I should care to induce my mother to purchase falsified patents."

Probably about a jillion more. "I, Mudd" is a romp!
 
Startrekrcks, you are not alone in disliking Harcourt Fenton Mudd. I never could stand the character.
 
oh, come now! i mudd is a wonderful episode! one my favorites, no question about. "logic is a bunch of pretty flower that smell ...bad" it doesn't get any better than that, folks!
 
Love it or hate it, but to call "I, Mudd" boring is sillier than anything that went on during the episode.
 
I just watched I Mudd and what a lame lame TOS episode just cheesy humour all the way through what are your thoughts on this episode


I couldn't agree more. "I Mudd" is an incredibly lame episode. It may be the single worst episode of the entire series.

I hated "Mudd's Women", but "I, Mudd" was fun, and its last 10 or so minutes are a rare example of dadaism on mainstream TV (yes, I think Star Trek can be classified as mainstream - it's not some obscure avangarde art programme...).

Uh, no.

Sorry, but it's just a really poor/silly episode. It makes "Spock's Brain" look like Citizen Kane.
 
I love I Mudd, it's some of Star Treks best comedy. Great Character interaction, good dialogue. A Little cheesy, but it is the only watchable Mudd episode, Mudds women I just can't get through.
 
. . . I am pleased that they only used the Mudd character twice in the entire series of TOS, now that would have a bore.
Although the character of Cyrano Jones in "The Trouble with Tribbles" is essentially a Harry Mudd clone.

I've always enjoyed "Mudd's Women." The whole notion of "mail-order brides" is in keeping with Gene Roddenberry's vision of Trek as Horatio Hornblower in space, with the state of interstellar exploration and colonization being analogous to Earth in the 18th century. Younger fans may have an issue with the episode's supposed "sexism." That's a word and a concept that didn't exist when the show was made.
