This week, we look at Season Three and the two-part story “Past Tense Pts. 1 & 2.” The episodes are partly an homage to earlier time-traveling episodes, much like “The City on the Edge of Forever.” It is also meant to remind us of other TOS episodes with moral statements, such as “Errand of Mercy” or “A Taste of Armageddon.” Each of those episodes asks us to reflect on the conditions depicted in a fictional world while inviting us to recognize any similarities that it bears to our own.
