#TheCityOnTheEdgeOfForever

OK, so a little off-topic, but thinking about Kira's "I broke my nose" in "Past Tense" and comparing with "The City on the Edge of Forever" brought to mind this unfortunate line:

"My friend is obviously Chinese."

Which brings up a host of questions that lead unpleasant places. But I find myself wondering if it was Harlan Ellison or Gene Roddenberry who was responsible for that line.

As the writer Marc Cushman documents in "These Are the Voyages," an exhaustive multivolume history of the series, Roddenberry often drove these famous writers to fury with his heavy-handed rewrites. (He and Ellison, for one, remained enemies to the end of their lives.)
