Notes
- This episode was heavily rewritten from the original, leading to a decade long feud between Harlan Ellison & Gene Roddenberry.
- The Guardian of Forever returns a few times after this. First in the animated series episode “Yesteryear” (1973), and much later in the Star Trek Discovery two part episode “Terra Firma” (2020).

One of the top eps overall. McCoy accidentally OD's, goes crazy and escapes the ship going back in time and changing everything. Kirk & Spock have to go into the past to fix things. While there, pic.twitter.com/Nbcpvpic4t

falls in love with Edith Keeler (young Joan Collins). Spock finds out that to fix the timelines Edith must die. A supremely well executed ep, great acting by Shatner & Collins. Still works now. pic.twitter.com/fngaSZGHBT
