Damn you Badger! LOL! 
See that’s the problem with these time things. Why is their time so much more important than the other alternate times? What are the ethics with dealing with people/events that never were?
I guess that’s why we like the idea of multiple universes (and timelines, too)
I think Talos said there’s a Trek novel where Spock does a mind meld on Kirk after this incident. Spock removes the memory of Edith Keeler from Kirks mind, because Kirk can’t cope with the sadness.
I read a Trek book where Kirk has a sail boat back on earth that he names the “Edith Keeler”. But he never tells anyone where the name comes from.
I hate time travel paradoxes
but Spock actually does that in Requiem for Methuselah. different girl, different heartbreak
I remember you both telling me these things on twitter when I watched this ep the first time. I love that there is something that rattles the impervious James T. I think this episode shows his human side so well.
Is that another episode?
Badger is technically my nemesis. But if you want to make him your nemesis too, I’m good with that.
He’s always making me think. Curse you Badger!!
Wow, I’m totally blanking on that episode. Can’t picture it.
If you don’t exercise your brain cells, they’ll never grow big and strong and learn to fly under their own power. 
yeah, season 3, I’m betting
Who really knows, but I sense that Shatner and everyone sensed that this episode was special. And they brought their A+ game this time.
Ah, the Flint episode, which I like to call “The Flint Episode”.
Just to clear this up, sometimes when I search my database of Trek knowledge things get mixed up. The scene where Spock mind melds with Kirk to help him forget someone is in the episode ‘Requiem for Methuselah’. Spock helps Kirk forget Reyna Kepek.
The reason I got it mixed up is cuz I had a discussion one time while reading the novel ‘Final Frontier’. In the novel, the events of City on the Edge of Forever just took place and Kirk is trying to deal with the emotions. I was watching the episode ‘Requiem’ with a friend and when that scene occurs I said, “Why didn’t Spock do that when Edith died?”
Sorry for the mix-up.
EDIT:
Oh look at that. Lady D setting things straight. Thanx D.
I read Final Frontier (which has nothing to do with the ST:V movie in case anyone is wondering.). In fact that’s one of the books I brought down from my attic a few months ago—I’ve been stacking up Trek stuff in my office of late.
In that book—in the main flash back story—, the central characters are Chief of Security George Kirk (Jim Kirk’s dad), and the 1st capt of the Enterprise Robert T. April.
I remember enjoying the book.
