The teaser and act one are fun with all that Tunnel communication with the two time travellers, then we see the other Time Tunnel of yesterday and we are thrilled with a sense of mystery. This hour is loaded with three outstanding male guest stars, Ansara being the best guest star of the three, and the story is just fine with me.
On the negative side: I never liked the actor playing "Jerry" in the Tunnel command centre and there is a lot of him in this hour. But others do like him I am told?
2nd negative: Episode composer Paul Sawtell was just fine when he scored the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961) motion picture and the pilot episode of the Voyage/Sea series (1964) but this guy also does some boring "funeral type music" (to quote another reviewer I once knew) and, sadly, the funeral music is present in Secret Weapon.
This hour is good but not outstanding.
