After immediately dismissing The Alternative Factor as perhaps the worst episode of all time (sorry, Spock’s Brain) the Away Team spend the majority of their time discussing the famous—and somewhat infamous—Harlan Ellison-penned “The City on the Edge of Forever.” Drugs! Time Travel! A surprising lack of sex! Different teleplay drafts and prolonged action with the Writer’s Guild of America! It’s all here.
