The penultimate episode of Star Trek's third season is excellent and a highlight of the much maligned final season. Essentially, Spock, McCoy and Kirk beam down to Sarpeidon to find the planet's population completely missing except for the presence of a giant library and Mr. Atoz, the librarian. All 3 Trek characters soon accidentally walk into a time travel machine into different periods of Sarpeidon's past. Spock gives a convincing performance as an Ice Age Vulcan who falls in love for Zarabeth while Kirk reprises his unhappy experience with time travel--see the 'City on the Edge of Forever'--when he is accused of witchcraft and jailed before escaping and finding the doorway back in time to Sarpeidon's present. In the end, all 3 Trek characters are saved mere minutes before the Beta Niobe star around Sarpeidon goes supernova. The Enterprise warps away just as the star explodes.

Ironically, as William Shatner notes in his book "Star Trek Memories," this show was the source of some dispute since Leonard Nimoy noticed that no reason was given in Lisette's script for the reason why Spock was behaving in such an emotional way. Nimoy relayed his misgivings here directly to the show's executive producer, Fred Freiberger, that Vulcans weren't supposed to fall in love. (p.272) However, Freiberger reasoned, the ice age setting allowed Spock to experience emotions since this was a time when Vulcans still had not evolved into their completely logical present state. This was a great example of improvisation on Freiberger's part to save a script which was far above average for this particular episode. While Shatner notes that the decline in script quality for the third season hurt Spock artistically since his character was forced to bray like a donkey in "Plato's Stepchildren," play music with Hippies in "the Way to Eden" or sometimes display emotion, the script here was more believable. Spock's acting here was excellent as Freiberger candidly admitted to Shatner. (p.272) The only obvious plot hole is the fact that since both Spock and McCoy travelled thousands of years back in time, McCoy too should have reverted to a more primitive human state, not just Spock. But this is a forgivable error considering the poor quality of many other season 3 shows, the brilliant Spock/McCoy performance and the originality of this script. Who could have imagined that the present inhabitants of Sarpeidon would escape their doomed planet's fate by travelling into their past? This is certainly what we came to expect from the best of 'Classic Trek'--a genuinely inspired story. 

Shatner, in 'Memories', named some of his best "unusual and high quality shows" of season 3 as The Enterprise Incident, Day of the Dove, Is there in Truth no Beauty, The Tholian Web, And the children Shall Lead and The Paradise Syndrome. (p.273) While my personal opinion is that 'And the children Shall Lead' is a very poor episode while 'Is there in Truth no Beauty' is problematic, "All Our Yesterdays" certainly belongs on the list of top season three Star Trek TOS films. I give a 9 out of 10 for 'All Our Yesterdays.'

Det näst sista avsnittet av Star Treks tredje säsong är utmärkt och en höjdpunkt i den mycket baktalade finalsäsongen. Spock, McCoy och Kirk strålar ner till Sarpeidon för att hitta planetens befolkning helt försvunnen förutom närvaron av ett gigantiskt bibliotek och Mr Atoz, bibliotekarien. Alla 3 Trek karaktärer går snart av misstag in i en tidsresemaskin in i olika perioder av Sarpeidons förflutna. Spock ger en övertygande föreställning som en istid Vulcan som förälskar sig i Zarabeth medan Kirk repriserar sin olyckliga upplevelse med tidsresor - se "City on the Edge of Forever" - när han anklagas för häxeri och fängslas innan han flyr och hittar dörröppningen tillbaka i tiden till Sarpeidons nutid. Till slut sparas alla 3 Trek-figurer bara minuter innan Beta Niobe-stjärnan runt Sarpeidon går supernova. Enterprise warpar iväg precis när stjärnan exploderar. Ironiskt nog, som William Shatner noterar i sin bok "Star Trek Memories", var denna show källan till någon dispyt eftersom Leonard Nimoy märkte att ingen anledning angavs i Lisettes manus av anledningen till att Spock betedde sig på ett så känslosamt sätt. Nimoy vidarebefordrade sina farhågor här direkt till showens exekutive producent, Fred Freiberger, att Vulcans inte skulle bli förälskade. (s.272) Freiberger resonerade dock att istiden tillät Spock att uppleva känslor då detta var en tid då vulcaner fortfarande inte hade utvecklats till sitt helt logiska nuvarande tillstånd. Detta var ett bra exempel på improvisation från Freibergers sida för att rädda ett manus som låg långt över genomsnittet för just detta avsnitt. Medan Shatner konstaterar att den försämrade manuskvaliteten för tredje säsongen gjorde Spock konstnärligt ont eftersom hans karaktär tvingades skryta som en åsna i "Platos styvbarn", spela musik med Hippies i "Vägen till Eden" eller ibland visa känslor, var manuset här mer trovärdigt. Spocks agerande här var utmärkt som Freiberger öppet medgav till Shatner. (s.272) Det enda uppenbara intrighålet är det faktum att eftersom både Spock och McCoy reste tusentals år tillbaka i tiden, borde McCoy också ha återgått till ett mer primitivt mänskligt tillstånd, inte bara Spock. Men detta är ett förlåtligt fel med tanke på den dåliga kvaliteten på många andra säsong 3 visar, den lysande Spock / McCoy prestanda och originaliteten i detta manus. Vem kunde ha föreställt sig att Sarpeidons nuvarande invånare skulle undkomma sin dödsdömda planets öde genom att resa in i sitt förflutna? Detta är verkligen vad vi kom att förvänta oss av den bästa av "klassiska Trek" - en genuint inspirerad historia. Shatner, i 'Minnen', utsåg några av sina bästa "ovanliga och höga kvalitet shower" av säsong 3 som The Enterprise Incident, Day of the Dove, Finns det i Sanningen ingen skönhet, The Tholian Web, och barnen ska leda och The Paradise Syndrome. (s.273) Medan min personliga åsikt är att 'Och barnen ska leda' är ett mycket dåligt avsnitt medan 'Finns det i Sanning ingen skönhet' är problematiskt, hör "All Our Yesterdays" säkerligen med på listan över toppsäsong tre Star Trek TOS-filmer. Jag ger en 9 av 10 för "Alla våra dagar". Skulle ni säga att denna recension är positiv eller negativ? ALTERNATIV: - negativ - positiv
The penultimate episode of Star Trek's third season is excellent and a highlight of the highly maligned final season. Spock, McCoy, and Kirk beam down to Sarpeidon to find the planet's population completely missing in addition to the presence of a giant library and Mr. Atoz, the librarian. All 3 Trek characters soon accidentally enter a time travel machine into various periods of Sarpeidon's past. Spock gives a compelling performance as an ice age Vulcan falling in love with Zarabeth while Kirk reprises his unfortunate experience with time travel - see "City on the Edge of Forever" - when he is accused of witchcraft and imprisoned before escaping and finds the doorway back in time to Sarpeidon's present. In the end, all 3 Trek characters are saved just minutes before Beta Niobe star around Sarpeidon goes supernova. The Enterprise is warping away just as the star explodes. Ironically, as William Shatner notes in his book "Star Trek Memories", this show was the source of any dispute because Leonard Nimoy noticed that no reason was given in Lissette's script for the reason Spock behaved in such an emotional way. Nimoy passed on his fears here directly to the show's executive producer, Fred Freiberger, that the Vulcans would not fall in love. (p.272) Freiberger reasoned, however, that the Ice Age allowed Spock to experience emotion as this was a time when Vulcans had still not evolved into their perfectly logical present state. This was a good example of improvisation on the part of Freiberger to save a script far above average for this particular section. While Shatner notes that the deteriorating script quality for the third season, Spock artistically hurt because his character was forced to boast like a donkey in "Plato's stepchild", playing music with the Hippies in "The Road to Eden" or sometimes showing emotion, the script here was more credible. Spock's actions here were excellent as Freiberger openly admitted to Shatner. (p.272) The only obvious plot hole is the fact that since both Spock and McCoy traveled thousands of years back in time, McCoy should also have reverted to a more primitive human condition, not just Spock. But this is a forgiving error given the poor quality of many second season 3 shows, the brilliant Spock / McCoy performance and the originality of this script. Who could have imagined that Sarpedon's present inhabitants would escape the fate of their doomed planet by travelling into their past? This is really what we came to expect from the best of "classical Trek" - a genuinely inspired story. Shatner, in 'Remembers', named some of his best "unusual and high quality shows" of Season 3 as The Enterprise Incident, Day of the Dove, There is in Truth no beauty, The Tholian Web, and the children will lead and The Paradise Syndrome. (p.273) While my personal opinion is that 'And the children should lead' is a very bad episode while 'Available in Truth no beauty' is problematic, "All Our Yesterdays" certainly hears on the list of top season three Star Trek TOS films. I give a 9 out of 10 for "All Our Days." Would you say that this review is positive or negative? ALTERNATIVE: - negative - positive
