I like the one where Spock finds a magic stone, which will grant three wishes before sundown.

Didn't he read the Constitution on an episode?

It was the Declaration of Independence.   You're thinking of "The Omega Glory" where they visit another star system in which in a parallel history the Communists won against the Western World and the people in a tribal existence lived very long lives because of exposure to Nuclear/Chemical/Biological warfare as two factions the violently mad and mute Yangs and the peaceful and stoic Koms.   In the clencher after the Yangs win over the Koms they walk into the final scene with a tattered Stars and Stripes, Kirk realizes that the the Yangs speaking the most holy words "E Pleglei" is actually "I Pledge Allegiance", the Yangs were the Yankees and the Koms were the Communists.

But yes, they did actually go back in time a few times such as when they met Gary Seven at Cape Canaveral.   Then another time when they went back in time and were seen and filmed by a fighter interceptor, and had to beam the pilot aboard the Enterprise only to find out that in his future the pilot's son would lead the first Earth-Saturn expedition, and therefore they had to send him back to Earth so that the pilot's son could be born.

Every time I see that I can imagine her voice saying: “William Jefferson Clinton, have you been whoring around again? I’ll never be president if you keep this up!”

One time at work I was complaining about having to use old computers instead of expensive, cutting edge ones I named them “stoneknife” and “bearskin”.

Harlan Ellison, now deceased, God rest his soul, was a contentious personality who also sued James Cameron director of the first Terminator film (1984) for copyright infringement - and won an undisclosed settlement with the backing of the film’s producers who refused to back Cameron in the suit, telling him he could fight it on his own and pay the penalty if he lost. Cameron being broke, caved which is why in all subsequent prints of The Terminator (1984), at the beginning of the end credits, you see ‘Acknowledgement to the works of Harlan Ellison’. The point of contention was work Ellison did for the Outer Limits TV show.

One of them was found drowned in the swimming pool. It raised a Spockian eyebrow.

Cool pic. Joan must have liked SciFi. She also starred in an episode of Space:1999, Mission of the Darians, in 1975.

Balance of Terror was like a submarine battle in outer space.
Definitely my favorite episode.

Besides the Joan Collins episode, my favorites are The Trouble With Tribbles (great humor), Mirror Mirror (Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Uhura encounter their evil doubles), and A Journey to Eden (space hippies take over the Enterprise, where Spock joins the protesters in a love fest concert.)

I remember an episode where Kirk is somehow split into two beings with each one inhabiting a different side of his personality. One was the logical side and the other the
emotional. The logical side contained the ability to make decisions along with the cold-heartedness that sometimes went with it. The other was his emotional and the weakness that accompanied it.

It personified the struggle between the two.
