This scene was set around 30 years before the 60s when it was made. I watched it 30 years after it was made, in the 90s. And now im watchin a clip on my pocket supercomputer 30 years later, in the 2020s.
Kirk and Edith have some serious Chemistry going on in that scene...or should I say William and Joan did...imo..one of the best original S.T.episodes ever made..
Edith kisses Kirk after he stops her from falling and he stares lovingly into her eyes. The background music of this scene is the strings in an orchestra and is absolutely perfect for this moment in time.
Check out the earlier scene when she asks Kirk to walk her home. She and he smile at each other while Spock looks on. He's got a ' oh no, we're screwed' look on his face. The music in the scene is heart warming.
But the tragedy is he was fated to kill her. She had always died or they wouldn't be there. She had always crossed the road starstruck. She was always placed there by Kirk, because she had always gone on a date with him. She crossed the road because of Jim and was nit saved because of Jim. Jim was only there because she had crossed the road.
Edith knows that Dr. Leonard McCoy doesn't belong there. She also knows Jim and Spock dont belong there. When she finds out they know each other she's got more questions. Sadly , she can never get an answer to those questions.
At 1:26, Kirk answers witha GREAT line; "With ulterior motives...". I paraphrase that every time I open a door for a hot lady. "Thank you, Sir." --"I had an ulterior motive..."
Yes,this was a good 👍 episode!It’s sad,though,when you can’t remember these episode’s till you see them,again!I don’t know if that man wrote this as a story?His name was;Jame’s Blish!He re-wrote the stories of the serie’s that we ❤️ love……Star Trek!
Yes you might have broken your neck. Could it be THAT was how her death was meant to play out without Kirk having to let her be struck by a car? Spock was right. She might very well have DIED from a fluke stupid accident from falling down some stairs. Spock pointed this out to Kirk. He saw Kirk's strong hand reach out and catch her just in time. But Spock's words of warning are eeringly disturbing but inescapably true: " Save her. Do as your heart tells you to do, and millions will die who did not die before!"
@@dskyyksd Kirk was simply living out fate. This screenplay theme is that free will is an illusion...a tool used by fate. The fall, of course, is dramatic foreshadowing.
Her near fall really was an eerie and ominous foreshadowing of some future event which will inexorably unfold moment by moment that will mark the end of her life. And interestingly that same Kirk will choose NOT to save her this time!
Note how in this scene the characters kiss, but not the actors--their lips either get very close or they touch only momentarily. Most other such scenes, in episodes before and after, had Shatner and the actress full-on smooching. A mystery. P.S.: Greatest mash-up ever: th-cam.com/video/7qASStXXr8g/w-d-xo.html.
i never thought of it until now. If Kirk was sucked into the Nexus at the beginning of Generations, don't you think he would have been at this point with Edith, or maybe Mirimani. instead of chopping wood?
No. At this point in the episode, Spock and Kirk had discovered to restore the time line, Edith Keeler had to die. Spock was concerned that Kirk was unable to let her die.
@@jamesfunk7614 Oh... Yeah i was saying Spock saw them kissing His Heart Broked I Dont really like her but she died and the episode ended so SPIRK IS STILL ON FOR LIFE 😌✨

The future is here.
I like the romanticism in your statement but McCoy said 1920-25, which would make it 41-46 years past.
@@keithtorgersen9664 Actually it was 1930 at the beginning of the Great Depression.
....and Spock could have used your pocket supercomputer in 1930 when this scene took place.
She transformed this episode with glamorous Hollywood acting gravity.
And btw, she didn't need soft focus, she was beautiful enough.
Yep. Soft focus doesn't age well here, particularly when she was gorgeous.
Kirk and Edith have some serious Chemistry going on in that scene...or should I say William and Joan did...imo..one of the best original S.T.episodes ever made..
Well, that intense chemistry was necessary to create the shocking dilemma in Edith's last scene.
Edith kisses Kirk after he stops her from falling and he stares lovingly into her eyes. The background music of this scene is the strings in an orchestra and is absolutely perfect for this moment in time.
Check out the earlier scene when she asks Kirk to walk her home. She and he smile at each other while Spock looks on. He's got a ' oh no, we're screwed' look on his face.

Well, not too many men would have been able to resist a lovely young Joan Collins.
Joan Collins - truly a beautiful woman!
Purple Royalty you said it!!! I fell in love 😍 with her Her accent is hot too👍😎
@@go-goakins1489 Back before feminism when women were feminine.
She was pretty special.
Purple Royalty Or is it she just acts beautiful - no no strike that! How many of you men in your teens fell for Edith Keeler??? All of YOU! lol
lisa silvas , can you blame them? She was so lovely.
Joan was stunning!
The ole trip and you catch me in your arms technique! Works every time!
Maybe the only shot of the Brooklyn Bridge in sci-fi television history.
Great well acted episode. 🖖
Kirk is doing what Kirk is always doing, saving those around him.
But the tragedy is he was fated to kill her. She had always died or they wouldn't be there. She had always crossed the road starstruck. She was always placed there by Kirk, because she had always gone on a date with him.
She crossed the road because of Jim and was nit saved because of Jim. Jim was only there because she had crossed the road.
And mixing with the ladies....
best episode. JC
Spock saw that Kirk wanted his cake🍰and🧑🏻Edith, too😉
Extremely underrated comment. 👏👏
I'm a surgeon... not a psychiatrist. Perfect!
And a bricklayer...
Kirk the lover and Spock always flawlessly logical!
Kirk was falling for her At first sight ! She is so hot & British 🙌who wouldn’t 🤟👈🤙actress Joan Collins was magnificent in this episide🙌🤙🤩👏👏👏👏
Yes,I agree!It was a well written episode by;Harlen Ellison.They only chose the best writer’s for the show,I’m sure!
She was a looker when she was young
She still is
She was hauntingly beautiful.
Edith knows that Dr. Leonard McCoy doesn't belong there. She also knows Jim and Spock dont belong there. When she finds out they know each other she's got more questions. Sadly , she can never get an answer to those questions.
But she did - after she died that is!
This was probably the best episode in the series, winner of the Hugo Award for Science Fiction in Television.
Joan Collins = HOTTIE!!!
Thank God they got a stunt woman
who looked like Joan Collins from a distance.
Fate is licking his chops.
"I could've broken my neck!" (dunh dunh dunh daaaahh...)
Frightfully, she could have also smashed her pretty head on the steps. Indeed that was probably how she was meant to die. Our Mr. Spock had a point.
At 1:26, Kirk answers witha GREAT line; "With ulterior motives...". I paraphrase that every time I open a door for a hot lady. "Thank you, Sir." --"I had an ulterior motive..."

This episode was written by Harlan Ellison. And FYI, every word that ends with an S doesn’t require an apostrophe.
Poor Edith she was doomed the moment she met them.
They should have given her a red shirt
She was supposed to die ..
She was doomed had she never met them.
@@richardvinsen2385 Oh how so?
@@mannybrucesalvador Before McCoy went back in time, she died.

Or she broke her leg only and couldn't go on the date with Jim that had always gotten her killed.
It wouldn't have made it any easier. Kirk would have let her fall and would still be tormented by guilt.
@@dskyyksd Kirk was simply living out fate. This screenplay theme is that free will is an illusion...a tool used by fate. The fall, of course, is dramatic foreshadowing.
I think it was the car. She only tripped because she had Kirk to turn around to

Good knight (sic) sweetheart
If Kirk didn't save Joan Collins in the past, Dynastie would cease to exist. Think about it.
Should have let her die then

Some guy at a radio station in Seattle now has her wig 😉
1:32 the heartbreaking moment when Spock sees his boyfriend with another woman
In the 20s, that kiss was a dowry.
Does anyone know the name of the painting in the oval frame? I've owned it for 45 yes and it's haunted. What the name of this eppisode?
That Vaseline on the lens though
Was the 21st. Mission supposed to be in Manhattan or Brooklyn?
Captain’s Log…
Spock: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, Captain."
Kirk: "No, of course you didn't."
Meaning: "Back off, my green blooded, unfeeling, friend!"
I must point out, that when she stumbled, she could have died right there.
Joan Collin's
I’m a doctor not a bricklayer!!
So, why wouldn't Jim just bring her back to the future?
I've always wondered how Spock, Kirk, and McCoy got back, never mind bringing Edith with them.
@@geoffrjjjjjjj They couldn't. The portal sent them back the moment they fixed the timeline.
Likely because the guardian would never allow it.
@@nighthawk0077The Guardian allowed McCoy to go back and change time, why would it stop Edith Keeler from going forward in time?
He had a hard one
She was too pretty to resist.
apparently Joan Collins thought her role in star trek was silly
I read she thought it was a real letdown when she met William for the first time.
F*cking adverts on TH-cam!!
Spock's Jealous :))
Goddd i really dont like her
Like jim's got spock but never had a kiss scene with him.
No. At this point in the episode, Spock and Kirk had discovered to restore the time line, Edith Keeler had to die. Spock was concerned that Kirk was unable to let her die.
@@jamesfunk7614 Oh...
Yeah i was saying Spock saw them kissing His Heart Broked I Dont really like her but she died and the episode ended so SPIRK IS STILL ON FOR LIFE 😌✨
