STAR TREK: DISCOVERY
October 29, 2020  | By David Bianculli

CBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

 
Tonight’s CBS repeat showing of the 2017 episode of CBS All Access’ Star Trek: Discovery gives a callback all the way to the third episode of Season 1 from the original NBC Star Trek series back in 1966. Back then, one of the more colorful early recurring characters was Harry Mudd, a rogue con man played by Roger C. Carmel. The same character was reprised in the animated Star Trek series, and popped up again in Star Trek: Discovery – played, this time, by Rainn Wilson from NBC’s The Office. So though it took either three years, or 54 years (depending on how you look at it), for this particular Star Trek villain to arrive on CBS, here’s Mudd in your CBS eye!
