Talk:The City on the Edge of Forever

Problems with this article
"Kirk informs Scotty that if they do not return, the landing party will have to jump through the portal to an era of their choosing to survive."That's not wholly incorrect, and what I'm about to write is a bit speculative but it appears to be valid given the context. Kirk says, "Scotty, when you think you've waited long enough.... Each of you will have to try it. Even if you fail, you'll be alive in some past world somewhere." Kirk is apparently telling Scotty, Uhura, and the two security men that if Kirk and Spock fail to complete the mission, they should try to do so -- to go back in time and fix whatever McCoy screwed up. "Even if [they] fail" to stop McCoy, "at least [they'll] be alive." "Meanwhile Edith nurses McCoy, who is slowly coming to his senses but still thinks everything is an illusionary side effect of the cordrazine overdose. He tells her who he is and where he is from."He says, "I am Leonard McCoy, senior medical officer aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise." He doesn't explicitly tell her he's from the future, which the article sort of implies. "Kirk takes a step or two in her direction instinctively, and freezes when Spock says, 'Jim, NO!'"Spock calls out, "No, Jim!"

 * Well, others have already tagged some of the material. Nobody has done anything.  The point of my post was forestall any future conflict on this issue by preparing a roadmap.  This is generally a different approach than WP:SOFIXIT, which many people object to by engaging in WP:BRD.  This approach says, "here's the problem, and here's what needs to happen" before implementation. Viriditas (talk) 21:17, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
