[spoilers ahoy!]

(Author's note: Sorry for the lateness! It took quite a bit for the problem to be resolved, and by that point I decided it was just better to wait for this week.)

Oh look it's our old pal Harry Mudd... indignant as always. Well the alien on the right seems to be a Tellarite? But the one on the left with the fabulous cone titties... is that a Breen or something else? I mean, I know they have fridge suits but that's about it. Well no, Memory Alpha shows they look more like Leia's bounty hunter disguise in Return of the Jedi.

I mean

[Leia on the left, Kira wearing Breen attire on the right]

Ruh oh. Harry, you dog. And I don't mean that in a complimentary way. You slept with some Tellarite's sister and stole their sacred cudgel? I thought you were with Stella? Did I miss something? Is this before her? I mean, I knew you were a douchebag but dang.

"one count of penetrating a space whale"

Okay if you've seen Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad, then you know what this is from, and what it entails but that poor, poor Tellarite. LMAO.

Man, I do love this Tellarite guy though. Probably because I've never liked Harry Mudd much. His taste in clothing is ok. Sometimes.

"I assure you I have never been in a situation like this before…"

Cut to...... Flashback!

lmao dude, no one really thinks you should be threatening a Klingon... especially the Klingon.
Ouch though.

"Falsely accused"..... suuuuuuure.

Ahahah yeah you only remember this when he's jumped to warp. Okay. Harry, you're disgusting. Do you need to detail this to her brother's face? 

I mean, I'm cringing, and I'm not even involved in this situation...

[Kritt right now.]

And I'm pretty sure he wants to kill you even more now that you've admitted it all (assuming you're not lying of course), and then said you sold it. Jerk.

Lol "the resistance". Sweetie I think you're about 90 years too early for the Maquis. LOL listen to him bitch. God, he sounds like an angry 19 year old Redditor. Sit down, Harry Mudd, we all know you hate the Federation cuz they won't let you be a dickhole--excuse me, an entrepreneur.

*scoff*

"Secret resistance" that's because it doesn't exist you lying sack of-- *cough* Where were we?

 

Lmao and the Tellarite is falling for his bullshit? Damn. After he banged your sister and stole your cudgel? Shit does Harry Mudd have some kind of pheromone emitter or something? He's not that charming. He can't be. No one can.

PFFFT OMG.

"Has that line EVER worked on ANYone?" 

FLASHBACK!!!

Okay I love this alien chick! She is not having his shit. "We'd both benefit from an alliance, so why would I lie?" Because you're Harry Mudd, that's why.

Haha and she just hisses at him because she's not having it. GOD DAMMIT HARRY STOP BEING A CREEP. Stop hitting on chicks so they'll do what you want. So gross ugh. You wanna just throw him out an airlock.

And back to our Tellarite friend. Still love this guy. Hahaha Harry, all your verbal gymnastics and you still almost call Kritt's ship a piece of junk. The poorest man you've ever met. There's another line. Of bullshit.

Here we go again.I mean, I'm not even sure that he had the Orion guy going, but jeez I can't wait for this Orion chick to beat his ass. He's so disgusting. Like, dude, for one, you are tied to the ceiling. And for two... Just. ugh.

[He looks so surprised. And yet this happens all the time]

Wow it's amazing how much ham he puts in his performance when he doesn't want to face the consequences of his actions...

Ahhh, I really do love this Tellarite guy. Left him the knife so he'd think he could get away with...whatever.

ROFLMAO his fake begging is really hilarious. He's no more sorry about the cudgel than the Federation is likely to literally skin him and throw him out of an airlock. Oh Harry, stop thinking you can actually charm people into shit. And Kritt is just like "lol k".

Interesting. The guy on the De Milo doesn't seem impressed that he's brought Harry Mudd? Meanwhile Kritt is just done.

WAIT WHAT.

THIS ISN"T HARRY MUDD???

Oh god. He's an android clone. D8

And then the "main" one glitches and they all starting the same thing over and over and over. Nooooooooo. T_T

 ["sipping jippers on a beach somewhere"]

Well, he's not on a beach...... damn. That alien was Harry Mudd the whole time. In a ship full of android clones. @_@. Which means we'll never know if the Harry Mudd(s) we saw before were real or not.

Bastard had the cudgel the whole time!

AUGH.

Well, that was a hella episode. Weird af, but it was fun seeing him get his comeuppance, even if it was just android!Mudd. I'd give it an 8.5 of 10 because I don't like Harry Mudd. Otherwise, great! I mean, Rainn Wilson must have a blast playing this asshole, and it shows.
