There are a number of mistakes concerning the Guardian Of Forever. In Star Trek: The Original Series: The City on the Edge of Forever it was surrounded closely by ruins. In this cartoon it is shown in a clearing with only remnants of them. The voice was originally quite deep, and slightly enhanced electronically. The entire "ring" flashed in synchronization with its speech. Here the voice is much higher pitched; sounding old and weak. There is no flashing during its dialogue. Additionally, it now has the ability to "prepare" a time and place to receive the time traveler where as it originally could only show the past like an extremely sped up film. Reaching the exact time and place desired required careful calculations with no guarantee of complete success. See more »Quotes

When Spock and Kirk return through a time portal like the one in "The City on the Edge of Tomorrow," that many consider the best episode of the original series. When they appear, the only one who knows Spock is Kirk. When he gets to the ship, an Andorean has his job. Spock must go back in time and meet himself as a child. Something must have happened when he was a boy with a Vulcan father (Sarek) and a human mother. He must find out what the variable is and change it before he returns. This is a really good episode. I'm not nearly as caught up in the animations shortcomings because the story is engaging.
