Was that the one where he stops his doctor friend from saving the life of a community activist? I seem to recall he had a friend from "out of town" with him...

I don’t know about the Mission Impossible episode, but I think you’re thinking of a Star Trek one. They go back in time to early 1930s America and somehow they realize that if this Peace Activist woman lives (isn’t it Joan Collins in the role?) Hitler will win.
Something like that.
Right now hubby and I are listening to the new Stephen King book “11/22/63” about a man who goes back in time with the secret mission of preventing Oswald from killing JFK.
It is interesting to think about those things. In the book the instigator of this mission avers that if JFK doesn’t die, then maybe RFK doesn’t die and MLK doesn’t die and Vietnam doesn’t escalate, so all those people don’t die.
Who knows, it’s one thing to think that, and that would have been good for those people and their families, of course, but it makes you wonder if maybe, somehow, things wouldn’t be worse if JFK lived. That’s what the Star Trek episode gets at.
