Good to have you back. Was expecting a commentary to go with the clip. Thanks for posting Jerry Fielding's work as he is very underrated. He did some sensational scores as well as surviving being black listing during the Mc Carthy era.
@@jahbad01 Sorry it is taking so long. My Lord, what an amazing work of music! I am almost done with scripting, so commentary should be forthcoming soon for the whole episode. And I will still probably miss a few things 🖖
As with the unused bits in The Trouble With Tribbles, I can see why some of this was omitted. The gunfire sequence has much more gravitas without the music. Sometimes music and sound effects can get in each other's way at moments of heightened drama, so one or the other gets cut on the "less is more" principle - an old trick, but always worth remembering because it always works. It was included in volume 4 of the 1701 Collection though (and indeed I think all the unused bits have been included, volume 6 includes the unused bits in Tribbles as well as unused Gerald Fried music written for Wolf In The Fold and The Apple).
Mostly agreed, I just thought it was a great moment as Kirk starts toward Wyatt, and the trumpet swells that Melkot theme to the climax - the break/silence - then the drums over the fight. Just like in .. you guessed it - "Tribbles" with Scotty and the Klingon. Fielding's "fingerprints", eh?
@@davidpage9355 very possibly! I still find it odd that in all my years as a Star Trek fan, struggling to recognise Fielding's style from one episode to another, I never thought to go through the two episodes in reverse order! What I'd like to know is, with the Cowboys in Spectre Of The Gun, and the Indians in The Paradise Syndrome, could some clever editor combine the two to make a plausible-looking Western?
Nice to see you sharing something again, Mr. Page -- I love all your breakdowns and revisit them, thanks! I like Fielding's contributions but they all sound to me a little like his great Hogan's Heroes stuff! For me Fred Steiner rules above all. His first season cello opening and end themes, no soprano, are by far my favorite arrangement. Second is Courage's earlier electric violin version. I have never heard the back story of why it was scrapped. Comparing versions I can hazard some guesses. Would you know anything? Have you touched on this and I missed it?
I only know there were the different versions, as to why? I wouldn't hazard a guess. Might have to do some more digging on this. If you find anything, let us know!
Was wondering why this episode was the lead for season 3's analysis, and the answer is that it's the first one in production (56), while it aired 6th as 61.
From 0:32 -0:36.... I love that patent James T. Kirk Star Trek flying drop kick....🤣🤣🤣
KIRK FU!
Great episode, great score.

I never noticed until now, but when the Earps and Doc Holliday vanish, the horse in the left background remains!
The horse was getting double SAG scale... Ha ha!

@@sandal_thong8631 I will reveal the reason for the delay in the complete video. Stay tuned!
Deforest Kelly played Morgan Earp in the movie Gunfight at the OK Coral with Burt Lancaster
@@PerryRhodes-s8q Right! Love that irony 🖖
Now I know, where DUNE got this idea 💡
I thought the episode was DEEP!!!!.....Spock has to get into each of their minds to convince them that there are no real bullets in their guns...👍👍👍
@@jeffreyworthen7033 yes. Fairly standard fare for Star Trek 👌🖖
fascinating
Beat it..
KIRK-FU !
