I like Star Trek best when it's most like The Twilight Zone. A 1967 episode titled "The City on the Edge of Forever" raises the tantalizing question of what it would be like if you could go back and edit your personal history. We've all been there.

On Stardate 3134.0 the Enterprise discovers a planet on which stands a free-standing door leading to any time or place. In pursuit of a renegade member of their crew, Capt. James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock leap over the threshold into Depression-era Manhattan, and the spaceship disappears because it no longer exists (you get the idea).

Ducking a cop after stealing clothes off a fire escape to conceal Spock's attention-grabbing ears, the two disappear into a basement, where they meet a young, idealistic social worker named Edith Keeler, who works for the 21st Street Mission and shows them kindness. Kirk begins to fall in love.
