Harry Mudd helps Nurse Chapel make Spock fall in love with her. Meanwhile, as Nurse Chapel tries to win her love, Harry tries to win his freedom and escape.

 

I really enjoyed 'Mudds Passion' just for the fact that it both brings back Mudd, but it also once again explores Christine's love for Spock. She is offered a love potion that actual works, temporarily at least. It has a great alien towards the end of the story when they land on a planet. It looks like mountains, but is actually a couple of huge monsters. Once again, if you enjoy the stories between Spock and Nurse Christine Chapel, then you will enjoy this episode that explores the subject deeper. I, for one, really had fun watching this episode. Great!

I'm sure that Carmel was doing the voice again, but it seemed like he was being a little too cartoony instead of just bringing out Mudd as naturally as possible. One other slight drawback is that Christine's love for Spock while apparent, wasn't completely transparent in TOS as it is in this episode. Still, it played out well. I like the compounding trouble brought on to the Enterprise by this little incident, which is something we don't see much of in TAS.

 

Sidebar, sorta, I really like the inclusion of Lieutenants Arex and M'Ress. Federation of Allied Planets, and now we see that a bit more here. Just part of the liberty animation gives you. And the fact that they were worked as intricately as they were in this episode makes it even better. We see a little bit more of them and their personality.

 

And oh yeah, the hangover incidents were great too. 5.
