Star Trek 1x28 The City on the Edge of Forever

night Leah!

Damn hippies were lying to us! Give peace a chance??? That’s Nazi talk, that is! :eek:

Kirk just figured that out? He’s been making moon eyes at here since he saw her…

good night, Leah!

If McCoy wasn’t so drugged up, he’d never let someone get killed in front of him like that. :wink:

I’m such a dork- every time Spock says traffic accident, I hear Simon Pegg in Hot Fuzz correcting him “Collision!”

Rodenberry reportedly hated the idea that the peace movement might have negative consequences. Need Frakintalos to confirm, tho? Where is he, anyway?

He’s more used to just banging the space chick and movin’ on.

And there’s our Bones: “I’m a surgeon, not a psychiatrist!”

I feel like Shatner is playing Kirk in a unique way in this episode.
I’m sensing the Shatner of later years showing through.

Spock sounds so callous. he knows damn well she’s supposed to die in a traffic accident!

But reluctently agreed to Harlin Ellison’s script.

I dunno. :frowning: Not the same with Mr. Talos.

“He knows, Doctor. He knows.”

Perhaps the most powerful, most tragic moment in all of Trek TOS.

Poor Jim, his poor eyes.

I could have saved her! (how many times does he say that compared to, he’s dead, Jim)

That was incredibly heartbreaking. :frowning:

This Kirk is disturbing… so… vulnerable…

Yeah I see what you mean. I found him generally less grating than I normally do.

Absolutely. That and “Let’s get the hell out of here.” They kill me!

Now there’s a question to really bake your noodle:

Did she always die? Or did Kirk & Co. defeat the Nazis retroactively?
