^This is a real trip down memory lane. Thank you. Unfortunately, this one still has that lout from TV Guide mucking up the "Star Trek Insights" with his inaccurate and slightly pandering information. Not to mention, he comes off as full of (sh)it.

 

Yeah, maybe I should just edit him out when I do these

I trimmed up "City" last night. Should have it uploaded soon. Harlan is one angry guy...

Hmmmmm.... I think Nimoy covered new ground.

I THINK he was more 'behind the scenes politics' centered than Shatner's sorta 'fannish' perspective.

 

Skipped to "The City On the Edge Of Forever" by request...

Very interesting. Thanks.

 

As I mentioned on youtube already... thank you, thank you, thank you. This is my favorite "Star Trek Insights" that Sci-Fi channel did for their run.

 

If I ever have the time and wherewithal I plan on transferring my analog VHS batch of Nimoy hosted SciFi programs to digital and post to your blog potablog or on YouTube.

 

That would be awesome! I'd love to see the Nimoy ones!

I just put up "The Enemy Within"-

Thank you so much for these. They are the most informative episode-specific insights I have seen, and the fact that they are delivered by the cast and crew make them treasures. I wish they had been on the DVDs.

 

By the way, I have been listening to Harlan Ellison's vainglorious harangues over his script for years. (I think Roddenberry made the right decision in making Kirk decide to let Edith die - it makes his leadership more resolute and the original end was a predictable, romanticised cliche.) Is the original Ellison script available to read or download anywhere? I'm curious to see just how deprived we have been.

 

Yeah, Harlan actually published a whole book on it:

http://www.amazon.com/City-Edge-For...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254487209&sr=8-1

It includes the teleplay, plus a whole lot of behind the scenes stuff... through Harlan's eyes. Be warned- he doesn't mince words and say many unflattering things about some of the folks behind Trek.

This is the first time I have come across this thread. Thank you for posting these.

 

I also seemed to have missed this thread until now. As soon as I replace my stolen computer, I plan to watch them all. I have not seen those since the original airing.

I remember when I first had cable installed. Up came the message that Sci-Fi Channel would be coming soon. I think I left the television on that channel every night until it premiered, afraid to miss the first shows to air. Unfortunately the revamped SyFy Channel has strayed far from its science fiction roots.

 

It does make one wonder how things would've gone if they hadn't written Yeoman Rand out. In the end, it probably was for the best.

That being said, it's certainly safe to say that there are a thousand better ways it could've been done than how it happened.

 

Just put up "What Are Little Girls Made Of?"-
