Steven W. Carabatsos
[edit]- ... that Gene Roddenberry pranked Steven W. Carabatsos on his first day on Star Trek, by inflating a weather balloon in his office?
- ALT1:... that Steven W. Carabatsos "[took] a chainsaw" to the script of "The City on the Edge of Forever", according to Harlan Ellison?
- Reviewed: Barak Mizrachi
- Comment: To be saved for the Star Trek 50th anniversary on September 8th. The original hook is intended to be a quirky final hook in a set, while the alt is more serious.

- Comment: I think Ellison used the phrase "took a chain-saw to it" as a figurative expression; I doubt Carabatsos actually cut the script with a chainsaw. Miyagawa, if you really want to use ALT1, perhaps we can put the phrase "took a chainsaw" in quotation marks? -- Notecardforfree (talk) 07:34, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
- Full review still needed by human reviewer. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:22, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
Article is new enough, and long enough. It is neutrally written, cited inline to reliable sources (AGF on the ones I cannot access) and free of any copyvios that I can find. The hooks are in the article and cited inline, once again AGF on source. QPQ complete. Personally, I prefer the original hook, but there is no problem with the ALT, so I leave it up to the promoter.
