Star Trek - Time is Running Out

[@richardw64]

Mariette Hartley. Such a dream to look at and adored her in films during the 70s.

[@65wiseman]

She had an irresistible freshness like a young Ingrid Bergman. Absolutely radiant -

[@kevinemmers9424]

What an ironic reversal of roles. In this scene, we see McCoy being the logical one and Spock being emotional

[@johnbuchman4854]

...and I don't blame Spock one little bit for getting emotional about losing Mariette Hartley!

[@ai6894]

Irony is when McCoy later tells Spock he'll never understand love in "Requiem for Methuselah." Years later Spock ends up alone on a barren ice world, himself -to meet Kelvin timeline Kirk and teach him about friendship- .

Just a versal of roles with a similar theme from The City on the Edge of Forever. This time, for Spock.

[@danbasta3677]

In this episode, again, we all see and witness what the Vulcan people were like before they began to adapt to Surik's teachings of controlling emotions and adapting to logic as a primary basis of their culture. Some Vulcans didn't agree it and remained violent in their tendancies so, the alien race, The Preservers stepped in and transfered those violent Vulcans to the sector of the galaxy referee to the Romulus Remis galaxy, now known as the Romulans. This was also explained by Mr. Spock in the episodes of The Paradise Syndrome, Let That Be Your Last Battlefield, The Savage Curtain, and from the first season episode, Balance Of Terror.

[@james5460]

This episode has some of the best characters in Star Trek, Mr. Atoz and Zarabeth. Some terrific writing and acting.

[@garymcaleer6112]

This episode, and The City On the Edge of Forever. Two endings that absolutely snapped my heart in two. This was even worse than 'City.' It would have been *less* tragic if she had died, rather than be left alone once again.

[@2bituser569]

In a way she was already dead.

[@kenpatton8761]

There were 2 follow up books…Yesterday’s Son and A Time for Yesterday. 1st one Spock goes back to see what happened to his girl. Finds out they had a son, Zar who is now 28, his mother had died due to an accident earlier and Spock brings his son back with him to the future. In the second book, the son has learned all the modern ways of everything, farming, production, building etc. He then returns to his past to build the world he’d left behind. This is of course an extremely boiled down explanation. At one point I had ALL of the novels. They’ve since been donated to the local library. Should have kept them but didn’t have the space anymore.Cheers

[@stevenveganightowl12]

When she pulls away from Spock and you see the tears running down in her eyes, heartbreaking that they have to part from each other. One of many outstanding episodes from Star Trek TOS.

[@deborahminter6231]

I thought it was heartbreaking enough that they had to part...but they even made it sadder, with Zarabeth condemned to that isolation, one of the reasons I am sure Spock didn't want to leave. ..then the planet explodes. Really Star Trek!!!!

[@Demonizer5134]

She is drop dead gorgeous

[@danbasta3677]

Give a little trivial information here. In this episode, All Our Yesterdays, Mariette Hartley there as Zarabeth, and the Sarpian Constibul were BOTH on MASH. Mariette Hartley potrayed a Swedish doctor on MASH and the Sarpian Constibul there is actor, Johnny Heymur, who you know as Zelmoe Zale.
