While some didn't care for the approach in this one I like it. Whether it would actually be possible to alter history once it happens of course remains unknowable but I find in endlessly fascinating.
What I particularly like about how it's handled here ( and other episodes, movies tv shows) is how some things in the future are altered even if the intended change isn't achieved.
Would that be good or not ?
Russell Johnson of of Gilligan's Island plays another particularly intelligent character. He is spending time with his friends and what appears to be an exclusive club and they are having this theoretical discussion but he refuses to consider it even possible to alter events until he experienced it for himself or did he dream it? Again TZ leaves our character with a clue that it actually happened. Choosing such a famous example like the Lincoln's assassination might not work for some but any event poses the same problem as it's already happened. Perhaps if they did alter and show what would have been the outcome of saving Lincoln would be interesting approach a later version of TZ actually did do that .
