10 Best Foreshadowing Moments In Star Trek

7. Temporal Mechanics 101–201

Seasons one and two of Star Trek: Prodigy were some of the best. Like the lessons from Dr Erin, their mechanics — temporal and otherwise — were perfectly determined. The beginning was the end; the end was the beginning.

Prodigy's second season began with Into the Breach, Parts I & II - the title a tease for so much to come. As we noted in our Ups & Downs, Rok-Tahk's "Sounds like somebody never read 'Temporal Mechanics 101'" to Dal in that first episode foreshadowed the next 19. Through time travel, the ouroboros was deftly led back round to its own tail.

Then, on a combadge, the series foreshadowed itself. It had been, will be, the 'kids' — with help from Admiral Janeway, Captain Chakotay, and Wesley Crusher — who send the Protostar to Tars Lamora for themselves to discover. Before beaming away in Ouroboros, Part II, Dal places his combadge on the floor of the bridge for Rok-Tahk to find. "Now we're ready." Now, we've already begun. Time for 'Temporal Mechanics 201'. 

Time for 301, we hope!
