* Alexander Courage was the daddy of this show's terrific, vivid music -- including the brilliant theme; and the author of several benchmark scores of great dramatic fervour. He continued his touch with the third season episode, "The Enterprise Incident". Listen to the cue "Abberated Captain" and you know something's goin' down, even without picture: With the climactic punctuating brass and timpani you think/know, "oh sh__!" Sweet.
* Gerald Fried is one cool 'jazz' daddy. (No doubt his hipster buddies were in the orchestra: on some scores, Larry Bunker on drums!)
* George Duning wrote some of the loveliest love tunes this side of Talos IV.
* Sol Kaplan wrote scores for "The Enemy Within" (during my teen years, my fave ep) and "The Doomsday Machine". No further comment needed.
* Fred Steiner's cue, "Battle Music" (from "Elaan of Troyius"), should be renamed, "SOLD!!!" Wonderful!

Hey Barry! Any chance of you reviewing the book you're reading at the moment....THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE MULTIPLEX.
Sounds interesting!
Ha-ha, Dom! Funny you should ask. Just this morning I was thinking of penning something about that book: It is very good. Well-written; factual, funny and pointed.
Yes, I will write something up when I finish the book... soon!
