Ellison also wrote episodes of Babylon 5, The Outer Limits and the 1980s Twilight Zone TV series. But he's best remembered for writing the original Star Trek series episode "The City On The Edge Of Forever," which is widely considered one of the best if not the best of all theTrek franchise episodes. "Harlan Ellison: There was no one quite like him in American letters, and never will be," tweeted Stephen King. "Angry, funny, eloquent, hugely talented. If there's an afterlife, Harlan is already kicking a** and taking down names."
