Uniform Flaws Uhura appears in gold instead of her future red. In the transporter room, McCoy is wearing the standard issue science uniform tunic, except for one reaction shot they cut too, while he's looking at the women, where he's wearing his satin, short-sleeved medical tunic Editing Flaws After beaming the women aboard, they are standing on the transporter platform forming a triangle; the next shot of the women is a profile of all three standing side by side; this is followed by a shot of them standing in the triangle again.

Editorial:	M udd`s Women is one of the first shows dealing with drug addiction to make it past the network censors. As with many other hot topics dealt with on Star Trek this was mainly accomplished by the fact that the venue was so far removed from Earth. This was the first of three appearances for Roger C. Carmel as Harry Mudd. He would return in the mid-second season episode I, Mudd and in the Animated episode Mudd's Passion.
