Short Trek, The Escape Artist, Spoilers

Just finished watching The Escape Artist, a post Discovery season 1 Harry Mudd story. It was directed by Rainn Wilson, written by the creator of the upcoming Lower Decks.

Flatly hilarious in my opinion, and the twist was great. I'll share if asked and feel free to discuss spoilers if you've already seen it.
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

One man's theology is another man's belly laugh.

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.

Don't ever become a pessimist... a pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events.

    Greatly enjoyed it
    Your pain runs deep.
    Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.

    I'd have liked that as a full episode.

    Also, what was that Federation ship? Was it a Hoover Class it was hard to make out. That Tellarite was a decent character but I don't think the reverb they've added to the Tellarites and Adorians in DSC is strictly necessary.​​

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    Very enjoyable. This Ray Wilson is really good at being Harry Mudd.

    I just realized that Harry Mudd's ploy in giving his fake Harry Mudd's up is not just a way to trick some money - at some point, the people will wise up and refuse to take Harry Mudd from shady bounty hunters. At which point Mudd won't have to worry as much about bounty hunters going for him, because they know it could just be an android copy.
