City was excellent

my favorite, though was the Doomsday Machine.

Was Ellison burned up about the two lead characters in Star Trek being portrayed by Jewish actors?

[who knows what evil?]

I’ve met Ellison several times at signings down thru the years, and he has always been a very gracious gentleman...nothing you would expect after reading his essays. I always roll out his ‘F*** Christmas’ piece when the holidays roll around...as usual, he nails it.

As a kid, I always used to get Ellison mixed up with Harry Harrison. Two very different sorts, though they did (IIRC) explore similar themes in some of their stories.

Is the graphic novelization of the City on The Edge of Forever going to follow the TV plot or his original plot??

Still writing, still lousy would be my guess.

I prefer “The Trouble with Tribbles”, and especially Scotty’s ending line.

His anger is legendary. His talent is spectacular. His literary output, unfortunately, taped off to nothing in recent years, his time now all spent on revenge and law suits.

Two of my favorites were the episodes he wrote for The Outer Limits- Soldier (with Michael Ansara) and Demon With the Glass Hand (with Robert Culp).

Happy Birthday,
“ Uncle Harlan!”

And in “In the Fourth Year of the War” (1979), he finally gets back at the nasty neighbor who had his dog euthanized 35 years earlier. For Ellison, the cold dish of revenge isn’t complete unless it’s served up with razor blades. As he likes to put it, “I’m still working off grudges from 1951.”

My favorite Ellison is, "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream"...

Trivia question: Is this the Floyd's from downtown Mayberry? My source says yes, but I haven't seen that show in forever.

Harlan Ellison did not like William Shatner counting lines in the script.

a graphic novelization of his original script for "The City on the Edge of Forever," widely considered the best Star Trek episode ever written.

"City on the Edge of Forever" is widely considered one of the best examples of science fiction ever written.

Sounds like Ellison is now trying to make a buck putting out “greatest hits” releases. Flaming leftist fag, but talented writer. His “Glass Teat” TV columns from the 70’s are still hilarious, despite the years and the leftist bias. Never was that big a fan of his SF, except for a few of his best stories - I preferred “hard” SF to the New Wave stuff.
