So how about a list of things that we DON"T want to see again?
We've already got time travel.
I'll contribute "the holodeck."

Just a television show...

- Start date
They travelled back in time 73 hours (and technically, it's the method they later use in Assignment: Earth to go back to 1968); so sorry, it's a time travel episode.
You are right that it has time travel in it. I was trying to make a distinction between those in which TT IS the plot, rather than a way to tie up a plot at the end.
My apologies, all, for trying to think about things instead of just observing technicalities. How un-Trekbbs of me. I'll do better next time.
Ten lashes with a wet chronoton particle for you, young man!
The original idea for "The Naked Time" was that it was supposed to lead directly into "Tomorrow is Yesterday", but production weirdness forced those two episodes apart in the schedule, leaving that 72-hour backslide as simply an interesting side effect.
So, yeah, I'd drop "The Naked Time" from the list.
What's that do to the percentage?

Time travel was perhaps overused in the series, but only three of the movies involved the device (maybe four if you count the Nexus in Generations)
Star Trek IV- The Voyage Home
Star Trek First Contact
Star Trek XI
Three (or four, depending on your perspective) out of eleven isn't bad, right?
Only two of the series ended with time travel: TNG and Voyager's last episodes. Yeah, ENT had TNG characters in the finale, but there wasn't any time travel involved.

TOS did time travel 5 percent of the time. Now 4 of 11 films = 36 percent. That's better than a third. So, yeah, time travel in the films is way overused.
I don't know the number of time travel episodes in each of the other series so I can't comment on their percentages.

I definitely count the Nexus.
So, five out of eleven. That's damn near fifty percent.
Yeah. So I'd think that's overusing the time travel gimmick a little too often.
Anyone wanna have a go at listing the percentage of time travel eps in other Trek series? LOL, there's so many of them, it would take you all week!
Enterprise had so many, it may as well have been called 'Time Trek'! Haha! Have fun listing ENT time travel stories!

Only Terminator & Back To The Future are true time-travel story forms.

Memory Alpha has done it for you. Of course time travel was part of Enterprise's premise. Its like complaining about time travel in "the Time Tunnel". Still only nine out of 98
Excellent.
Yeah. Shame they kind of pushed it aside when fans reacted negatively to it, and never bothered wrapping it up properly.
I don't think they had a clue where they were going with the TCW.
