This is universally considered one of the best of a very shaky season, to the point that many like to consider it the actual series finale. And I'll definitely say that this one and The Doomsday Machine are the only episodes where I was actually able to forget I was watching a show from the '60s where everything would be back to status quo by the end, and feel genuine suspense. Both do it the exact same way, as there's so many variables required to fix the situation that all have to go right at the exact same time, so no matter how much you logically know it'll all turn out okay, you're still on the edge of your seat about how it could happen.

You have reached one of my personal Top 5 of TOS. I remember reading the fotonovel adaptation of this when I was a teenager,and finding it surprisingly moving. Watching it on tv was equally rewarding - I love Mariette Hartley's performance; and Nimoy is superb. The whole premise of the Library is a nifty sci-fi concept (Mr Atoz - what a name!); and the ending is extremely effective. Perhaps the episode is not up there with 'City on the edge of forever' - but it's not far off.

Yes, it is a very interesting concept of this episode. I like it. I wish it was a two-parter. Everything in it was great, I just wish a lot of it got expanded on. Of course, if it was a two-parter, there might have been a lot of pointless filler, so maybe it’s for the best that it wasn’t a two-parter. Ian Wolfe was enjoyable as Atoz. I believe it’s just replicas of him that we see. Similarly, Mariette Hartley is enjoyable as Zarabeth. I share your feeling sorry for her and her situation. I also almost fell out of my chair laughing at your comments about the impracticality of her outfit, as well as your questions as to where she attained the curling iron, lip gloss, false lashes, and lash glue. I had a feeling you’d like the moment where Spock refused to abandon Bones. Shame Spock didn’t have his beanie for this episode as yes, he doth handsomely sport a hat, and it would be beneficial given the cold. I’d certainly need the beanie or some type of headwear because due to being as bald as I am, and that cold, my head would be iced over quickly, and I'd be yelling and cursing, “God, it’s fucking FREEZING out here!!” If memory serves, Vulcans all share some form of mental link, thus, again if I'm correct in my recollection, Spock’s regression is perhaps due to mentally bonding with Vulcans that exist in the time they are stranded in. Perhaps. I have a laugh at myself over Spock’s dismay over his eating meat, because much though Spock is insanely relatable, he and I differ somewhat concerning eating meat. Not to impugn his vegetarian lifestyle choice, merely I am quite a carnivore, and the contrast simply gave me a laugh. A great reaction and I'm pleased to see, Jess, that you enjoyed the episode. If I may be so bold to say this, I don’t see you enjoying the final episode of the series terribly much. Of course, I could be wrong about that, I'll be happy if I am, and as you say, you’re being cautious with your expectations. This is another reason why I wish this was a two-parter, so we are spared the actual final episode of the show. As I see has been commented already, there is the sentiment that this is viewed as the final episode. In fact, if one goes by stardates, this is chronologically the final episode. So, although I don’t have the highest of hopes for your enjoyment of the final episode, I look forward to the reaction regardless. And if nothing else, we got your great reaction to this episode, which I thank you for, Jess.

This was also one of the episodes that were included in the Bantam fotonovel series in the late seventies. There were twelve published altogether. City on the Edge of Forever by Harlan Ellison; Where No Man Has Gone Before by Samuel A. Peeples; The Trouble with Tribbles by David Gerrold; A Taste of Armageddon by Robert Hamner and Gene L. Coon; Metamorphosis by Gene L. Coon; All Our Yesterdays by Jean Lissette Aroeste; The Galileo 7 by Oliver Crawford and S. Bar-David; A Piece of the Action by David P. Harmon and Gene L. Coon; The Devil in the Dark by Gene L. Coon; Day of the Dove by Jerome Bixby; The Deadly Years by David P. Harmon; and Amok Time by Theodore Sturgeon

Mariette Hartley was pretty much cosplaying an Ice Age Leela here - she must have cultivated a hunter's instinct and had a good knife somewhere, amidst the curling tongs. Maybe there's an Ice Age Kazar out there somewhere and they can go hunting the sabre-tooth walrus together?
