One Sentence Synopsis
Space Pimp Teaches Us About The Love Between a Man and a Woman.
Scene setup
Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise rescue a scout ship from an asteroid belt, crippling the Enterprise in the attempt. Said scout ship is captained by one Harry Mudd, a roguish chap transporting three mail-order brides who generate hormonal imbalances in men thanks to a plot device or feminine confidence.
The Enterprise is damaged saving Mudd’s ship so Kirk orders a course change to a planet with lithium mines because we are waiting on the dilithium crystal upgrade. Will dilithium be twice as nice or only half as sucky?
But the miners want Mudd’s Women in payment. This is clearly a violation of all that is decent. So Kirk arranges the galaxy’s worst mixer thereby proving that his managerial incompetence is matched only by his failures as an event planner.
Is this guy good at anything?
Should you watch it?
If you don’t watch this episode you will miss the context of 15 minutes of dialog in season 2’s I, Mudd. Beyond that, I’d say it is completely skippable.
