[002] Delibird Current Version
Changed line(s) 1 from:

to:
\"The heroes travel into the past, where they save a woman from dying in an accident.\" Anybody besides me think that this episode is what inspired the romantic subplot of \"Back To The Future Part III?\" At least in the latter, Clara got to live, and the only change to the future was that they didn\'t name the ravine after her, just as Marty predicted.

But getting back to City on the Edge of Forever, I agree that the decision to kill her off was cruel and not necessary. They could have brought her back to the future with them, thereby preventing her interference with the U.S. entering WW II and etc. It might have been traumatizing for her at first, but given the alternative, I\'m sure she would have adjusted.
