The Guardian of Forever

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Boredom?

Seriously, what if the purpose was to facilitate the creation of multiverses? It needs individuals to go back and make the changes because it can't.

So, what was the agenda of the Guardian of Forever? Why did he allow random passers-by such as Spock, Kirk and McCoy access to their planet's past, risking them to change everything?

(That he didn't have one, that he was simply a device created to do so, I don't believe, given that the Guardian himself indicates that he is far beyond their 'primitive' classifications of machine and being. I could live with his motives being beyond our primitive understanding).

I believe its goal there was to ensure the continuation of predestination paradoxes.
After all, the GOF is one of those itself:

KIRK: Are you machine or being?
GUARDIAN: I am both and neither. I am my own beginning, my own ending.​

Kirk: Ah, it's a riddle. You are a circle.

Kirk: Ah, it's a riddle. You are a circle.

Possibly, but a very wonky circle!

You try drawing with rocks!

The other half is underground.

Guardian: Carl is my name.
Kirk: Carl. Nothing else?
Guardian: Carl.
