Lee has loved Star Trek and watching movies their whole life, and is excited to share that love on Screenrant.

Star Trek: Discovery came to an end in May of 2024, and now that the dust has settled on the series, it is the perfect time for some retrospectives. After Star Trek: Enterprise concluded in 2005, Discovery was the first Star Trek television show to air in more than a decade when it premiered in 2017. At that premiere, Discovery had a daunting task. The only other new Star Trek media in the 2010s were the comics and three movies in the Kelvin timeline.

Rainn Wilson’s Harry Mudd Has Been Wasted By Star Trek Since 2019 The Star Only Shows Up Three Times, But He Could Have Done More Close Season 1 of Discovery saw Rainn Wilson as the con artist and smuggler Harry Mudd, otherwise known as Harcourt Fenton Mudd. Mudd was originally introduced in The Original Series, where Roger C. Carmel played him. Harry Mudd only appeared in two episodes of TOS,"Mudd's Women" and"I, Mudd," but he left a big impression.

Posts 19 Despite this revival being a generally popular move, however, Rainn Wilson's Harry Mudd has only appeared in one Star Trek property since Discovery: a single Short Trek. It was an amazing early win for Star Trek to get Rainn Wilson involved in their newest project, so it feels like a letdown to see him fade back into the background of Star Trek. During The Original Series, Harry Mudd did not return because Roger C.

​​The opportunity to bring Mudd back feels particularly wasted given the new Star Trek: Section 31 movie. Since the eponymous"Section 31" is tasked with handling Starfleet's dirty laundry, so to speak, it would totally have made sense to have an older Harry Mudd show up in Section 31. Even if it was only a cameo, including Mudd would have made Section 31 feel so much more like a Star Trek movie.
