Harry Mudd returns, but with control of a planet with thousands of android clones. This is mostly a comedy episode based around Kirk and crew trying to get around the androids to escape Mudd's planet. In the end, this pic.twitter.com/V5CH6P1R0u

ends up being not just "Kirk talks an computer into self destructing", but the entire crew participates. The eventual overthrow of the androids is funny. Roger C Carmel is awesome, wish we got more in live action. pic.twitter.com/sIdp8cmmvo
