Episode 184: Dopey Utopian BS ("The City on the Edge of Forever")

We discuss "The City on the Edge of Forever," including the controversial script changes, the real-life inspiration for Edith Keeler, and why the episode is so loved…even if Harlan Ellison thought Roddenberry’s changes were "dopey utopian BS." Download Now (right-click and save)  Hosts: Jarr

Women at Warp
Fun story. #TheAnimatedSeries was made during a #writersstrike; the show runner #DCFontana being a longtime writer herself knew the Union rules backwards and forwards. She knew any Union writer could write one episode of an animated series under the strike rules. So she went to every great writer she knew who needed work during the strike and offered them one episode. (wha) #StarTrek #STTAS #TAS

Yesteryear, written by #DCFontana.

1️⃣ #MarkLenard as Sarek.

2️⃣ ❝I have returned to the past in an attempt to restore the future. I am home and I had almost forgotten its beauty.❞

3️⃣ Terrific time-travel story, which turns surprisingly emotional at the end with the passing of the pet sehlat. The premise is genuinely intriguing, with Spock posing as a distant cousin he remembers from when he was a child.
