If you haven't read Harlan, this is not the place to start. Ellison put a lot into his teleplay, and there are surprising, literary aspects, primarily in asides and instructions for the director ( if, indeed, tv directors every took those seriously ). The "screenplay" is not first-class Ellison; for that, see his short story collections, or The Essential Ellison and many other anthologies of his great fiction. Aside from the screenplay, there is a long, rambling rant about the grave injustices Harlan ... Read More

This is not only the original script and a few of the re-writes, it is an epic essay on why Harlan Ellison is so angry with Star Trek. Seems that all the twisted stories told by Gene Roddenberry because they got a laugh or promoted the Star Trek mystique tended to have victims.

I had read a brief excerpt of same in Harper's, nearly wet myself laughing ... Read More

I loved this book. It gives us more insight into the original version of a great episode. I love Harlan Ellison, warts and all, however, my holding back from giving this book 5 stars is that there is no insight into the production process. Harlan feels that his script was wronged somehow. As pointed out in various reviews here on Amazon, if he didn't want changes made, he shouldn't have written it for a series.
Here is an idea Harlan... what with all the interest in fan films, and since you own the ... Read More
