There's actually a Mandela Effect regarding a Star Trek episode! There is a following of people who believe a certain character was killed off on a very specific episode. The thing is that the write of Star Trek claims that character was never killed off. http://mandelaeffect.com/star-treks-chakotay-story-line http://mandelaeffect.com/star-treks-chakotay-story-line

I'm wondering if they're misremembering from TNG, Tasha Yar died in the first season but kept popping up through the rest of the series?

Bizarre, but to be fair, I distinctly remember watching a version of Star Trek Generations in theaters which was apparently never released in theaters - it included the full scene of Soran torturing Geordi, and explaining the nano probe (so Dr. Crusher's explanation of removing it actually made sense), the last fight scene going differently (Kirk escaped the breaking bridge only to get shot in the back and fall onto it, causing it to fall with him), and the missile flying into the ground instead of exploding. But I know this wasn't just mentally interpolating the deleted scenes I saw later, because it didn't include the orbital skydiving scene, for instance, and I remember on watching the VHS being very confused that the torture scene was missing. The only remotely reasonable explanation I've come up with, besides sliding between universes, is that my dad and I actually went to a test screening instead of the actual theatrical release, but I think the last time I asked my dad about it, he _didn't_ remember those additional scenes, and there's no reason that a test screening should have been happening in my hometown. Another less likely explanation is that the theater was shipped a test screening print rather than what was actually released. Neither is particularly satisfactory, since I definitely hadn't seen the orbital skydiving scene which was ostensibly in the test screening prints.

I am actually working my way through that series right now. I think there may have been a confusing episode where it seems like he dies, but he didn't if you pay close enough attention. Because I do remember being confused at one point and thinking he was dead, but I think my confusion got cleared up somehow. Star Trek tends to do things like that. e.g. the episode opens and bad stuff happens, but then you find out it was in the holodeck. Or a dream. Or alien brain manipulation. In fact there was an episode where Chakotay led a rebellion against the captain and (probably) died (I don't remember now), but it turned out to be a "holonovel."
