TAS-10) Mudd's Passion

Enterprise Incidents with Scott & Steve

Captain Kirk pursues his biggest nuisance to a planet in the Arcadian system, where, sure enough, he finds Harry Mudd peddling his latest drug -- a so-called love potion -- to the miners working there. Turns out this love potion actually works and soon makes its way through the crew of the Enterprise, starting with Mr. Spock, much to the initial delight of Nurse Chapel. Completing a trilogy of sorts that started with "Mudd's Women" (one of the first "Star Trek" episodes ever produced) Stephen Kandell returned to write "Mudd's Passion" for "The Animated Series," which, fortunately, also saw Roger C. Carmel reprising his role as Harry Mudd. (Sorry, but there's no way James Doohan could have pulled that one off!) While far from being the crowning achievement of "The Animated Series," "Mudd's Passion" is an enjoyable-enough episode for "Star Trek" fans that saw the return of a beloved character.
