Leonard Nimoy comments on the episode "City on the Edge of Forever"

Kirk won and lost at the same time, he won by maintaining the timeline but lost a woman he had come to love.

Star Trek fans have gotta be hating this Trump presidency! He is the antithesis of most everything on Star Trek! Trump is an orange Klingon!

One of, if not my favorite episodes of the entire series. It was perfectly written, perfectly directed, and of course, perfectly acted.

Grew up watching this show, love it love it love it, this episode in particular is a masterpiece.

Harlan Ellison is legendary

Would have been a great movie

One of the best episodes for sure my favorite part is when they're in the basement I needed this trying to figure out who they are spark looked at Curt and goes I'll finish with the stove and she says "Captain even when he doesn't say it he does'

I think I’m going to binge watch the original..again!!! For the millionth time! I’m 61 and you’d think I’d had enough of the original by now..but..nope!

The best original Star Trek, and the best ever written story line for any Star Trek Series, movie or spin-offs! I think it won the Hugo Award?

In Rick and Morty I think they took that for Rick and unity

She's beautiful

This episode was called the best overall of all the Star Trek episodes. It won an award. Nimoy was right on all counts.

Harman Ellison hated the script... it was dramatically changed / edited from what he originally wrote... 🚀

Live Long and Prosper Leonard ❤

Why do actors and directors think that sad endings are very artistic and that happy endings are very boring and cliche and trite? I LIKE happy endings! But that was a good show. I accept the sad ending because it was necessary in order to keep the future unchanged, as well as her death saved MORE lives in the long run. But like in the movie *Rambo", Kirk Douglas was originally supposed to play Colonel Troutman, but after he got on set and found out that Stallone changed the ending from the book (among many other things) so that Rambo did NOT die in a hail of bullets at the end, so he declined to do the movie. Fortunately, Richard Crenna was available to play Sam Trautman, and that's who we got. But I would've LOVED to see Kirk Douglas in that role!! But he told Stallone - "Rambo has to die! It's the 'artistic' thing to do!" I guess it would've made a political statement about how we hire our military to create these killing machines like Rambo, who then come back from war and go nuts, killing hundreds of people, as Rambo did in the book. But Stallone said he felt like that would've been bad for Vietnam veterans and cause them to lose hope, or something like that. I can only paraphrase approximately what he said, but that was the gist of his reply. And I agree with Stallone, as well as I just like the movie ending better because the audience builds a relationship with Rambo. We relate to him. Killing him would've pissed me off, at least in the movie, because he didn't really kill ANYBODY, although that cop car he ran off the road did explode, as is Hollywood's wont. I suppose the Rambo in the book had too much blood on his hands from his terrorizing that town, so he HAD to die. That makes more sense, as Kirk Douglas said.

I guess I went on my own rant here! 😉

Best show ever

When I saw this episode, since her character was supposed to die, why didn’t they fake her death and take her with them back to the Enterprise?

Couldn't he just take her with them ❓

I personally think Harlan Ellison's "City on the Edge of Forever" is THE BEST Star Trek episode of all, ever. Why ? It's the best - written, even if a Woman has to be sacrificed so Men can have a future. Nancy

One of the best TOS episodes!

AWW THANKS FOR THE SPOILER ALERTTT

Was there ever a bad episode?

Then they meet a one eyed one horn flying purple people eater

Life is tragic in the fact that sooner or later, we will all lose the most important people in our life journey whom we've cherished and loved the most. 😔

It was the best episode EVER and when Spock responded to McCoy with He knows Dr ...He knows if you weren't crying yet that put you over the edge

🖖👍💖👏

Spoiler on an episode that is more than 50 years old

Magnificent episode. My favourite, as it generally is for most fans of the series.

This is probably the best episode. My brother and I joke about many of the episodes because of the stupid things, but not this one. This one has made me cry. Harlan Elluson is a great writer and he hit a home run with this script.

One of the best episodes!

Also well acted, all around.

The greatest Trek episode ever, Point Blank Plain and Simple!!!

This episode taught me what a flop was 😊

Seasons 1, episode 28 on IMDb. Although on Netflix it’s saying episode 29.

Fantastic episode.

This was a good episode.

Star Trek is our future that's why they ran the series and it's also been our past we just forgot ..when we fell...Atlantis

It was a great story.

I'm a 68 year old trekie who bought a hand-painted sculpture from The Franklin Mint celebrating the 25th anniversary of this episode originally aired on Apr 25, 1967. Dr McCoy, accidently overdosed on "cordrizene", is jumping through the Guardian of Forever time porthole as Kirk and Spock are trying to stop him. McCoy lands in 1930 Earth during the Great Depression and changes the "timeline" so there is no Starship Enterprise and all of history is totally changed. Kirk and Spock follow to prevent McCoy from completely altering history. Who knows, when I die maybe my children won't give my art piece to Goodwill.

A true Nimoy fan would watch ALL of the original: In Search Of.. series, you can get by the somewhat crazy theory and conjecture in that show with Leonard's amazing and stern narration that really grounded the show series. . Many theory's were still mystery at the time of the show.

My all time favourite. Especially the part about "The Battle of Britain".

My favorite episode of all time.

One of my absolute favorite multi-viewed episodes!

The gorgeous woman, Joan Collin, was extraordinary. Where can I find her for my heartfelt friendship with her high intellectual mind? 😮

My favourite original Trek episode by far

This was probably THE BEST star trek script. I love this one in my more advanced mature years. When i was younger, i liked the balance of terror and the enterprise incident.

Leonard Nimoy has a spectacular speaking voice. The timbre is exquisite to the ear.

I wanna know Lennie's take, especially after his rift with Shatner, what he thought of Shatner's 'counting the lines' in the script, and Harlan hating Shatner and wanting removal from the credits! Anyways, she didn't have to die, and they showed such a sensibility in IV with the woman oceanographer going with them to the 23rd century.

YT just removes my comments now. I still hit👍likes.
Good luck friends🤞✌️🖖👍

There is going to be a time in the not too distant future when the entire crew of the Enterprise NCC-1701 will be gone.
