For all that it didn't cover any new territory for an SF show... I thought SG1's _2010_ was very well-done.
Now, what else... okay, I was still in college when TNG did its *first* alternate-history episode. Not the Mirror Mirror one, but the one with the Federation at war. _Yesterday's Enterprise_. "Surrender? That'll be the day!" That was fantastic. 1990, sure, but fantastic.
Sheesh, I gotta come up with a less mainstream answer. Well, I just finished Gene Wolfe's _Pirate Freedom_, which is a terrific time-travel story.
But the best one ever was _The Green Futures of Tycho_.
