Star Trek: Every Two-Parter Ranked From WORST To BEST

18. Ascension, Part I, Ascension, Part II

Truth be told, Ascension, Parts I & II were contenders for higher up on this list. But with so many outstanding outings from Star Trek: Prodigy, choices had to be made. Like the rest of season two, neither episode leaves much more than nitpicking to reproach it with. Both deftly mix action, emotion, temporal physics, and high villainy. They even got a Morn joke in there, too!

Asencia was on the rise, and taking no prisoners, except one. The Rev-1 was a warship, packed with temporal technology, but ultimately no match for the combined forces of Voyager, the Protostar, and the new Nova Squadron, done the right way. (Boothby Supernova in the sky…) In all of that, Zero's gut-wrenching self-sacrifice to stop the incursor weapon couldn't fail to reduce us to tears.
