For this weeks (and first) TrekTuesday we’re discussing The Original Series’ best episode. City on the Edge of Forever.
Not only is it arguably the Original Series’ best episode but for me in ranks in the top 5 all time best episodes of Star Trek.
When a temporarily insane Dr. McCoy accidentally changes history and destroys his time, Kirk and Spock follow him to prevent the disaster, but the price to do so is high.
This episode has possibly the most tragic ending ever seen in Star Trek. I won’t go into spoilers here so if you haven’t seen it already, go watch it (it’s on Paramount+) and come back.
What are your thoughts on this episode. Did you watch it when it aired in 1967 or are you discovering it for the first time? Is it one of your favourite episodes?
One of my favorites, and the only episode I know of in which Kirk swears. “Let’s get the hell out of here.”
I love that “hell” was considered a swear in the 60’s.
