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

9. The Devourer of All Things, Part I, The Devourer of All Things, Part II

Star Trek likes its Latin titles, in this case far more effective, far more comprehensible in translation — from Ovid's Metamorphoses, "tempus edax rerum," or "time, devourer of all things".

The Star Trek: Prodigy second season two-parter, The Devourer of All Things, reversed the notion, introducing us to a new species that feasted on time itself. The Loom, a terrifyingly tentacled trans-dimensional foe, fed on their victims until they were erased from it. We 'big kids' were scared in equal measure.

The Devourer of All Things, Part I also marked the triumphant, greater than a cameo, return of a former acting-ensign-ensign-cadet-dress-uniform-at-a-wedding. "I'm Wesley Crusher, and I've been waiting for you." We'd been waiting for you too, Mr Crusher, though hardly expecting you. This had been kept more of a secret than the Omega molecule!
