Topic: Trying to remember which TOS episode it was that

Kirk used logic to cause a probe that was basically Borg to self-destruct...

I think your think of "The Ultimate Computer" is a season two episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, first broadcast on March 8, 1968.

The M5 acknowledges Kirk, who asks M5 what its purpose is. M5 responds "To save men from the dangerous activities of space exploration." Kirk rejoins that it just acted contrary to its purpose by killing people. M5 recognizes the penalty for murder is death, so it shuts itself down, Spock responds that machines are more efficient than human beings: not better. He then dryly remarks that if McCoy's engrams were impressed in a computer, the resulting torrential flood of illogic would be most entertaining.

No, he's thinking of Nomad. That was "The Changeling".

That's it

Agreed, "The Changeling".

Roykirk was its inventor, so its corrupted memory bank made it think Kirk was its creator.

Too bad for the Federation that Picard was the first to encounter the Borg and not Kirk;  Wolf 359 and after would never have happened...

Yes, one of the few episodes that didn't affect SFB whatsoever. I could make great use of warp 15 energy bolts and shields that can absorb the energy equivalent of ninety photon torpedoes.
