Roger C. Carmel also portrayed Harry Mudd in the classic episodes "Mudd's Women" and "I, Mudd."
   
Obviously, Nurse Chapel hasn't lost her crush on Mr. Spock as demonstrated in the classic episodes "The Naked Time" and "Amok Time."
   
Stephen Kandel wrote both original Harry Mudd episodes as well.
   
This marks the final on-screen appearance of Harry Mudd. The character was considered for reappearance in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home", but didn't pan out, as well as the first season of "Star Trek: The Next Generation." However, Roger C. Carmel passed away in late 1986 when plans for "The Next Generation" were set in motion. Harry Mudd eventually "re-appears" in several video games, including "Star Trek 25th Anniversary" for the Nintendo Entertainment System and "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - Starship Bridge Simulator" for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
   
First instance of Dr. McCoy manning a bridge station, in this case, the science station. The only other time McCoy would ever man a console would be in "Star Trek III: The Search For Spock."
   
The Starfleet "Key Cards" which Harry Mudd steals from Nurse Chapel are never seen again.
   
More character development for Lieutenant Arex is seen here as he strums an alien lute with his three hands.
   
The giant rock-monsters were part of William Shatner's original climax for "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier."
   
In an animation error, Captain Kirk is seen wearing a red shirt when the rock monsters are fighting each other.
