"Patterns of Force" is the episode where Kirk and gang discover a Federation captain had interfered with a society on a planet that had developed similarly to Earth until the other captain's arrival; telling them of the better side of the Nazi party in a vain attempt that they copy that and not read up or emulate the rest of it. Whoops.

"The City on the Edge of Forever" is the episode with Joan "I slept with Hitler" Collins (Harlan Ellison hates her guts because fluff-for-brains Dynasty chick kept telling people on talk shows she slept with Hitler. :crazy: I'm more inclined to believe Ellison, even though he's sardonic and hard-lined and arrogant...) McCoy is injured in an accident and ends up going through the portal into Earth's past. Kirk and Spock follow. They find Collins' character, who MUST die or else the Nazis will win. Ellison's original storyline had been changed to fit the 'Trek' formula and he didn't like it. I've always wanted to read the original; there's a lot in the TV version that still has a cool sound to it.
