Harry Mudd Faces the Long Arm of Intergalactic Law in the LatestShort TreksTrailer

The final entryway in Discovery ’s 4 of minisodes is upon us , and instead of checking in on the U.S.S. Discovery itself , we ’re mark in on the show ’s interpretation of a classic Trek legend : Harcourt Fenton Mudd . As wait , Mudd is up to no trade good .

CBS has just drop the poke for “ The Escape Artist , ” which will focalize on the escapades of Mudd as he catches up with Federation lawmen — hey look , it ’s aTellariteagain!—or , rather … they catch up with him . International viewers , by the style , can watch the trailerhere , even if they ca n’t actually see the short itself when it airs , as was the case with anterior Short Treks .

sleep with a Tellarite , Harry ? Heavens , what would Stella cogitate ? “ The Escape Artist ” in spades take care like it ’s be given into a little more of a fun commission than the more emotive , aspirational nonpareil of the other three Short Treks , which is a nice path to shake things up — and guide us into the final countdown before the fun begins again , when Star Trek : Discovery returns January 17 .
