It there any way to return Edith Keeler to Star Trek?

[Arpy]

And have her be played by Joan Collins? Maybe some parallel universe world where she lived and was the break-off point for the Mirror Universe, or something.

 

[Spock's Barber]

Maybe a return visit for Kirk to the Shore Leave planet (?).

 

[Antonovus]

I like the idea of her life as instigating the Mirror Universe in some way. However, I wish they had a stronger female role, like Edith Keeler, on the Enterprise.

Either that or Talos IV.

In an alternate reality Kirk put his love for Edith above that of all creation and they settled down together! Years later the fat, balding Kirk and the aged Edith still live in the same building but not with each other! His stories about spaceships and Klingons really got up her nose after the first thirty years and her spending all their money on age prevention and the new glossy wigs got up his!!!

Hopefully not

 

[CorporalCaptain]

She's dead, Jim.

Kirk can't have his cake and Edith too.

 

[Mysterion]

I suppose, but why would you want to?

 

[johnnybear]

She nagged him to get a job a bit too much and he gave his story ideas to a guy called Roddenberry when he arrested him for drinking in a prohibited zone!

Time travel back to before the event of the street crossing to take Edith to the 23rd century alive and well like Gillian(Catherine Hicks) in TVH.

What would be the point other than to gut the meaning of the episode?

Kirk could have lived happily with her alive in the 23rd century and her disappearance in the 20th century would resolve that episode's need to let her die. Kirk travels back to stop himself from stopping McCoy from saving Edith. He instead takes her back to the future with them.

I think you're missing the whole dramatic point of the episode.

It is a way to return the character Edith Keeler to Star Trek.

Exactly.

To what end? The episode would be rendered meaningless.

This thread's question.

This thread's question.

As you may have guessed I have a problem with the question and wonder why one would propose it.

Generations was the perfect opportunity. Kirk's Nexus fantasy could have been them living together the 1950's. But instead they invented a new character nobody knew of or cared about.
