Episode of the Week : The Immunity Syndrome

[Talos IV]

The last time we see Shatner in the green wrap, in production order, I believe.

Also the last episode directed by the great Joseph Pevney, who became disillusioned with the show and elected not to return.

I really like this ep.

Great "Doomsday Machine" vibe at the end with the countdown and the music, etc. This was one of those "I wish Doomsday Machine was on tonight," episodes that made me feel better that it wasn't.

"The Immunity Syndrome" makes very good use of tracked music! The "should have wished me luck" cue from "Friday's Child" is great, as are all the Doomsday tracks.

But my favorite scene is Kirk's personal log ("Both are right, both are capable...") which uses "The Big Go" from "The Naked Time."

I'd say the music is the strongest element in this episode, which is not an insult.

Ha! Did you catch the use of the "Amen" chord progression in "The Doomsday Machine" when Kirk is giving one of his final orders from the bridge of the Constellation? That cracks me up every time!

Also, in "The Immunity Syndrome," Spock's music cue is especially poignant.
