Oh ... My ... Gawd ... Ellison Checks Out

[Zander]

He was an intelligent, creative, massively talented man. He was a GIANT of the sci-fi genre. Loved his short stories....mind bending!!

R.I.P.

"City on the Edge of Forever" was the original Trek's finest and most deeply haunting hour.

You should read Ellison's original script. It's a kick in the teeth.

This book contains all of the original drafts and rewrites as Ellison intended them. I love the Star Trek version, but Ellison's original vision for the story stands on its own as one of the great sci-fi stories ever.

Grab his script for "I, Robot" too. No connection with the Will Smith film.

I know that Mr. Ellison's sci-fi writings & ideas were highly ambitious and really liked to get grandiose, no doubt about that.

The first time I saw Harlan it was at a science fiction writers convention in Los Angeles. It was 1971 and i had squeezed into a very crowded elevator. Somewhere along the back was a booming voice hurling profanity at everyone and anyone. I could not see who it was until the elevator emptied out. It turned out to be a very short and very good looking man smoking a pipe. I said something into the air like "who the fuck is that ". The reply was "That little loudmouth is Harlan Ellison."
