The City on the Edge of Forever: The Original Teleplay by Harlan Ellison
3.0
Again, I didn't pay attention to what book I was starting... Oh, a Harlan Ellison sci fi? Why not?
So I really didn't expect to jump into a feud between Roddenberry and Ellison, and I definitely had no intention of reading a Star Trek episode. But that's what I got. Alright.
Ellison's defense of his episode seems fair. I've heard some negative about Roddenberry before. The length of the complaint gets a bit tedious. Anyway....
As for the episode script itself? That part is great. I just wish I could have pictured it with better acting than Shatner could have provided.
