Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Ellison has had it--up to here! He wrote the original teleplay for the first Star Trek TV series' most popular episode (in which Kirk and Spock leap through a time gate into 1930s Chicago in order to prevent history being changed) and then watched, patiently fuming, for 30 years as Gene Roddenberry, that blankity-blank-blank, told everyone what an incompetent job Ellison had done and how much he had to labor to realize the script that was finally filmed. Yet since Ellison's original won a Writers Guild Award, the highest honor TV dramatists bestow, how incompetent could it have been? The answer, verified by the script's reappearance here alongside two prefatory treatments and two scenes Ellison added at Roddenberry's request, is "not at all." Seconding that assessment, four other ST writers and four original cast members weigh in. But what makes this the ST book of the year (maybe all time) is Ellison's sputtering, raging, fuming introduction in which he sets the record straight, by God! Invective doesn't come any better these days. Both ears and the tail, Harl! Ray Olson

Watch the film and compare it yourself
23. März 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
The book was well designed and allows you to start from any point. Now you must purchase the episode (28) also and see that the changes were necessary to keep within the TV parameters. The sleeve on the VHS box suggests that you count the number of people beaming down and the number of pads on the transporter. I thought it was interesting that everyone was addressed as his or her position (MOS).
I will not go through every change as that is the fun of reading the book; however to keep the story and characters consistent with the TV shows several changes have been made. Whether these changes are for good or evil you must decide. Some of the obvious is when Kirk and Spock have to steal close to be unconscious in their new environment. Harlan said whatever you do not make them fit. Sure enough they look like designer duds that were will tailored. The worse case is the final interaction with Edith Keeler. The whole prime of the story is changed in one moment.
Other books/movies that work well to compare are "The Razor's Edge"; see how Larry Darrell changes from the book to Tyrone Power to Bill Murray and Bill pushes Somerset Maugham completely out of the story. I also enjoyed reading about the controversy over the original "Six Days of the Condor" that was changed by Robert Redford to fit his criteria in "Three Days of the Condor." Drugs are out and oil is in. Three days fit better on a two-hour tape.

Ellison carrys on the Serling Torch - and Lives!!!
20. Juli 1998
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Long before I knew of Harlan Ellison, The City on the Edge of Forever was my favorite Star Trek episode. Somewhere along the way, Harlan became my favorite author. When I finally learned that he'd written that old Star Trek classic I rewatched in detail and could see Harlan's writing and personality peeking through the rewrites that eventually killed other genius's like Rod Serling (along with smoking that is...). If you love Star Trek, Ellison, or are simply a fan of behind the scenes television, this is a GREAT book. I heartily encourage you free up some hard earned cash. You won't regret it!

The true story of Star Trek's (TOS) best episode, by the author himself. Highly recommended.
