    Well, I watched this and then had to look up how to pronounce “tu quoque”. I am gratified to find that what I thought was the pronounciation, as opposed to what is in the video, is correct.

    In particular, “quoque” has two syllables.

    I do remember the TOS ep with Harry Mudd. I don’t recall he sounded then like a Hanna Barbera cartoon character.

    @Kathy: Roger C. Carmel passed away in 1986. There’s every possibility that he was unable to reprise the part for this performance.

    @Kathy: @just nutha: These are some fan made videos using the TAS animation and what appears to be additional art.

    @Steven L. Taylor:

    That explains why Spock would even say “whataboutism”
