In 1967, Star Trek in “City on the Edge of Forever”: In the original seriesʹ most provocative episode, Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock pursue Doctor McCoy through a time portal to Depression-era New York, where Kirk falls for a social worker (played by a radiant Joan Collins). But Kirk faces a torturous dilemma: If she does not die young, her subsequent activities will result in the Nazis winning World War II. So, as a truck barrels toward the woman, Kirk restrains McCoy from saving her. “Do you know what youʹve just done, Jim?” asks the horrified doctor. “He knows, Doctor,” says Spock, his Vulcan reserve cracking. “He knows.” Kirk balances his one true love against the lives of untold millions. No adventure ever affected the captain — or us — so deeply.
