Yes, this was covered in the Titanic episode. Jeffrey tried warning Captain Smith, and Smith didn't believe him.
Same thing happened in the Time Tunnel episode when they landed on the Titanic. They tried warning the captain as well, to no avail.
This was also covered in the Doctor Who episode, Fires of Pompeii. Donna Noble wanted to warn the people, then the Doctor learned Vesuvius would erupt from the alien energy build-up, unless he released it, the whole world would be destroyed.
In essence, with his hand on the release lever, he caused the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii. Very good episode. Donna then joined her hand to his, so they did it together.
It's inevitable.
This was peculiarly and well-covered in an episode The Outer Limits '90s remake series, entitled Tribunal, in which Jewish descendants from two different eras of a holocaust survivor sought revenge on the guard who was free.
In the end, they rescued the prisoner's daughter, the half-sister of one descendant, and brought her half a century into the present where she greeted her father and called him grandfather. Remarkably good episode.
Even more interesting are the two Outer Limit episodes with Amanda Plummer. The first one, Stitch in Time with Michelle Forbes, is brilliant enough on its own, where an assault victim creates a time machine to travel back and kill other murders before they start their killing spree (shades of Dexter?) and then she takes out the one who attacked her. Both Forbes and Plummer are magnificent.
Her other appearance, Final Appeal, also guest stars Charlton Heston, Cicely Tyson, Robert Loggia, Hal Holbrook, Swoosie Kurtz, Kelly McGillis and MIchael Moriarty. Sort of a continuation.
I liked Stitch in Time on its own.
