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).
• In the scene where McCoy accidentally injects himself in the stomach, the stunt person broke the set.  As “McCoy” falls to the ground he hits the rail, and the broken rail can be clearly seen (and is wood).  It’s fixed in the next shot, however.  I have a screen capture of this below.
