Star Trek: 10 MORE Greatest Time Travel Episodes

10. Shockwave, Shockwave, Part II

Time could still be a lot kinder to (Star Trek:) Enterprise. Its first two seasons remain largely underappreciated. And yet, bridging the gap, is a history-hopping romp for the ages. Shockwave starts with a bang, cue the theme song. Even that gets better with time.

Naturally, the defence to the charge of 3,600 counts of negligent homicide on Paraagan II comes from Daniels in the past. It wasn't the NX-01, but the Suliban Cabal under orders from the most mysterious of future guys. The Temporal Cold War itself garnered sceptics at first, including co-creator/executive producer Brannon Braga, but few could argue it hasn't paid dividends. The pay-off in Shockwave is an ominous cliffhanger over a devastated 31st-century Earth.

In Part II, the time travel points go to Daniels and Captain Archer for MacGyvering a temporal comm call out of the quietest library in history. No need for that bicycle after all! Silik's pride would also surely beg to differ with the dictates of the Vulcan Science Directorate, exactly as Archer arrives back to his present via drop-kick. On that, Shockwave puts the 'travel' most definitively in 'time travel'.
