Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Mr. Norman is a new crewmember whom McCoy finds off putting. He acts like a Vulcan, which is odd in a human. There’s a good reason: Mr. Norman is not human. He is one of a collection of androids sent to hijack Enterprise by Kirk’s old adversary, Harcourt Fenton Mudd! Mudd has plans for the starship, grand plans. And so do the androids.
Our Take
Solid, satisfying television. The season’s engine keeps turning and the character work pays.
