Robot of the Week (3)

In response to the character Pris in Blade Runner (“your basic pleasure model”), I’d like to introduce you to the following femme-bot antecedent: the Stella 500, one of several ladies who comprise ”Mudd’s Robot Army” in episode # 41 of Star Trek (original series).  In this episode, a society of androids holds the notorious conman Fenton Mudd hostage for a mysterious purpose and provides him with an army of female robots, including a version of his wife Stella who–unlike his real-life wife–obeys his every whim.
