Series with the best timetravel/alternate timeline episodes

[ktanner3]

Like the title says, which series do you think had the best time travel and alternate reality episodes?

My pick goes to DS9. Visionary,The Visitor,Little Green Men,Children of Time,Far beyond the Stars etc..

TOS and it's really not even close.

DS9 had Far Beyond the Stars, so it wins hands down. Twilight puts Enterprise in second. TOS had some good ones, but then again TNG had Yesterday's Enterprise...

TOS has the best done time travel stories. There aren't any stories that make you think that those stories make no sense. Except for the one where Gene was trying to sell a spin off in season 3.

City on the Edge of Forever is the best time travel story ever done on TV IMO. It was perfectly done. It's only 2nd to Balance of Terror.

Then you have Mirror Mirror. The original Mirror Universe episode. This is one they should have touched on later on. And if the show gets a 5 year run like it should have they probably would have.

Tomorrow is Yesterday was also pulled off well. Although the teleportation stuff didn't make a lot of sense.

The only other time travel ep was in season 2 not season 3 and it probably was the worst of the time travel episodes and it was meant to make a spin off of a 20th century sci fi show that never really happened.

Yesterday's Enterprise comes in first.
Twilight ties for second with...
Far Beyond the Stars.
Would Living Witness be considered an alternate time line? if so it's 4th.
Year of Hell rounds out my list.

i don't think FBTS qualifies as a real alternate universe story. it's a vision/hallucination. you may as well count Future Imperfect with it's fake 16 years ahead scenes.

Enterprise had some really good ones.

Re: Series with the best timetravel/alternate timeline episo

I voted for Enterprise because of Shockwave, Twilight, and E2. I refuse to acknowledge the existence of Storm Front.
