Hahahahahaha! Most guys remember that episode!
:^) I think someone posted a graphic mashup in some other topic, yesterday or Monday.
When TNG was on the way, a script reviving the Mudd character was prepared, but alas, before production of episodes began, the actor (Robert C. Carmel) passed away.
TNG really missed the boat when they didn’t run into an armada of warships entirely crewed by Tribbles. Really angry Tribbles. Maybe genetically engineered by some hostile species that nevertheless had a dark sense of humor, or maybe just a group that discovered Romulan Ale or Klingon Blood Wine.
