I remember this as a good episode. Hvaen
t seen it in many years

What is the Star Trek inventory? What is zodiac.avclub.com?

I bought this book:

It really is "jibe", though.

Jerry Fielding, who wrote the original music for The Trouble With Troubles, and Fred Steiner, who wrote more music for TOS than anybody else, are each credited with original music for over 20 episodes of Hogan's Heroes, 1965-6.

Music
Both of these episodes have some new music written for them.

Yes, if you follow the cubes as if in a shell game, the correct crewmember is killed. I remember following it closely as a kid: thinking "Wait, that's the woman!" as Rojan crumbled the polyhedron; then intensely wondering if the correct person would spring out of the shape when Rojan pressed the button, then being…

Another one of Kirk grieving over a woman, that was surprisingly poignant, is the last minute or two of Paradise Syndrome. Miramaneeeeeeeee! A cheesey episode: but the way Kirk sits with her as Gerald Fried's score tells us the moment she dies, and then sits with her body as the credits roll, is actually moving.

Interesting. I love the Star Trek music, in general. But I just DO NOT LIKE the ones Duning did. I positively hate the score for season 3's The Empath. Fingernails on a blackboard. The one for In Truth No Beauty is more interesting, I guess: but not really enjoyable. Haven't seen the other two episodes in a…

Whoa, Gottacook steals my music comment!

Hell yeah, Man Men fan. Don't remember her character "Gertie".

It's the only way to be sure.

Not Lazarus?
For decades, and I mean up until today, I thought the other main Klingon, the guy who goes on the extended riff about Kirk and the Enterprise and then gets punched by Scotty: I thought that was the actor who played Lazarus from The Alternative Factor.

Sorry: yes, Fielding did Spectre in season 3. Tribbles was his only score for season 2. Jeff bond reviews the Spectre score as a dry run for Fielding's Wild Bunch score.

RE: track listing

Music and Mudd
Tribbles had original music by Jerry Fielding, his only work for Star Trek; it was also tracked with some music from the Doomsday Machine score and the Metamorphosis score. Fielding had also done Hogans Heroes, and later won Academy Awards for his scores for The Wild Bunch, Straw Dogs, and Outlaw Josey…

Actually that pastoral / love them from This Side of Paradise might be from Gerald Fried's score the Shore Leave. The theme for "Ruth". Not positive, though.

Next week: jump the shark?
The next two episodes are my next nomination for the true jump-the-shark moment in the original series. Not there weren't cheesy episodes before (eg Alternative Factor or The Apple), or half-decent episodes after (eg Ultimate Computer). But an episode written to be comedy/farce, followed…

Confronting the captain
Obsession has a nice scene where Spock & McCoy confront Kirk about what he's doing. It could have been played for melodrama, and instead Kirk & Spock banter the regulation manner of addressing the captain, and then Kirk comes clean. It really feels like a moment where true professionals who…

Alexander Courage did *NOT* write most of the music mentioned in this thread. He wrote music for the two pilots, and Man Trap and The Naked Time; then he skipped season two, off doing Dr Doolittle, and returned to write for a couple of season 3 episoded: Enterprise Incident and Plato's Stepchildren.
