Star Trek - Coincidence?

 A few days ago, I decided to video record the TV series "Star Trek". The first one I got was actually the third episode in the first season (there were only three seasons with a total of 80 episodes). The title of the episode was "The Naked Time".

The episode begins with the Enterprise monitoring a planet that is in the throes of self-destruction. Spock and another crew member have gone down via that teleporter thing they use - forget the name - and are checking out a control unit. Everyone there is dead; there's six in the unit. No evidence of how the people die.

Here comes the stupid part. Spock and the other crew member separate. Let's call him Sam. Sam is investigating one of the dead people who is at a console. His nose itches, so Sam takes his glove off and scratches his nose. (While they are wearing suits and headgear, I guess there is oxygen in the unit because the headgear is more like a face shield.)

Anyhow, he eventually puts his glove on. Then Spock returns and both go back to the ship via the teleporter. Once there, Sam begins to itch his hands where he touched the surfaces of the ground control unit. It begins to affect his emotions and he gets really disturbed that everyone was dead and no one seems to care. He tries to kill himself with a knife. Sam is subdued, but his blood gets on another crew member. He's so emotional that they take him to the infirmary when he ends up dying.

Meanwhile, the crew member with Sam's blood on him gets infected and begins to think he is Irish and starts to sings and runs out of the control room singing. He ends up in the engine room when Scotty is not there. He locks himself in and shuts the engines down. The ship is being pulled into the collapsing planet. They have 30 minutes to break into the engine room and start the engines again and pull away from the planet.

I won't go into any more detail except to tell you many others are affected, including Cpt. Kirk and even Spock. But they do get into the engine room, restart the engines and reverse at super, super warp speed that they don't know what will happen. They do pull away, but as they do, the time goes backward. When they stop it, they are three days in the past. 

TIME TRAVEL!!!!

Now, they can once again return to the planet with the foreknowledge of what to watch for. But Kirk says, "Set a course for our next mission."
