This episode of Star Trek is the best one in its three year history. McCoy accidentally injects himself with medicine that makes him insane. Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock transport McCoy to a planet with a known time machine to transport him back in time and prevent the mistake from happening. McCoy goes through the machine without Spock and Kirk and lands in 1930's NYC. After Spock and Kirk join him in this time period ( they have no idea where McCoy is) they discover Edith Keeler, played superbly by Joan Collins. It appears that when McCoy entered this time period he prevents Keeler from perishing in a traffic accident. Because Keeler was a peace activist and survived instead of died as before she prevents the US entrance into WW II and the world as we know it is destroyed because Hitler is not defeated. Spock tells Kirk that Keeler must die for all of civilization on Earth to continue. Kirk ends up with a gut-wrenching choice to make; to follow his own heart or sacrifice for the good of mankind. The acting by the characters of Kirk, Spock, McCoy and especially Keeler is astounding. The best Star Trek ever. Don't miss it!
