Star Trek: 10 MORE Greatest Time Travel Episodes

3. Star Trek: Prodigy

As the Vulcan said to the Ferengi on the holosuite, 'I hope you like a curveball'. In fact, this entry might be more of a cheat, but then, picking just one episode from all of Star Trek: Prodigy (as we currently have it) would be justice to only part of a glorious, remarkably complex and cohesive, story.

In essence, both seasons of Prodigy combine to form a time travel epic. There can be no skipping of 'Temporal Mechanics 101' for 'Temporal Mechanics 102'. By the bootstrap, by the Ouroboros and combadge of a grand finale, the series masterfully concludes right where and when it had begun at Tars Lamora.

In the interim, we are introduced to foes and friends, the Vau N'Akat, across multiple timelines. Wesley Crusher returns as grand master time traveller, and so does Chakotay, stuck for a good while in (at least) two futures of Solum. Trans-dimensional baddies, the Loom, become the most terrifying consumers of all things paradox, second only in temporal troublemaking to one version of Asencia. And, if you're looking for more time travel within time travel, journey no further than season one's quite brilliant Time Amok.

Sadly, in this topsy-turvy world, sheer quality and two banner planes no longer convince. To #SaveStarTrekProdigy now, we might well need an 'Infinity' of our very own.
