Star Trek: The Original Series - 'Spectre of the Gun' 3x6 FULL LENGTH Reaction & Review

Glad you like this story. Unfortunately its also the last time we get to have Vincent McEveety directing. Though he does show up to work with William Shatner on 3 episodes of T.J. Hooker. Another interesting note is that Leonard Nimoy directed an episode of T.J. Hooker as well. Looking forward to seeing your reaction for the next two episodes.

I have to admit, the first time I saw this episode, so many decades ago. I wasn't too impressed. I always thought the story was interesting so I was confused why I didn't like this episode until later in life. Only thing I could figure was I was heading into my rebellious age, and I was so burned out of westerns shows and movies because my father was hooked on Western settings. By the time I was 16, I had seen every Clint Eastwood and John Wayne movies at least 3 times, not to mention classics made during the 50's & 60's and was by this time developing my taste for SCI-FI. During the 70's my older brother and I watched and will always regret the lost time of our lives watching "Laser Blast" (1978). Never thought I would ever see anything worse then "The Giant Spider Invasion", but I was proved wrong with "Laser Blast". LOL

A few things: First of all, those actors were so menacing and in a way unreal that when I was a child, they scared the hell out of me. I dreaded seeing them whenever this episode was on and yet I had to watch, lol. Did you notice the Earps hardly blinked? They were almost mechanical, like following a program. FYI, the harmonica music you were hearing was done by champion harmonica player Tommy Morgan, who was a friend of my father's who was also a musician for TV & Movies as well. In fact, I actually called him up and confirmed that he did play for this episode, it was awesome to find that out and we had a nice, but brief chat.

For a time I was way ahead of you on episodes and I was just waiting for you to get caught up, but I've taken a break from my views and now I'm doing my first time watch along with yours :) Heading into the new year, I'll have to get back to knocking out a few episodes at a time. Hope your own new year resolutions prove to be as successful ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅ‚
