Top 5 time travel episodes?

[Lord Garth]

Personally I thought Future's End was a bit of a mess

I'm a sucker for stories involving the crew going back to then-present day. TVH is what got me into Star Trek (though I saw the movie in 1991 on VHS not 1986 in theaters).

Relativity was good since Seven was in it <3 , but apart from that it wasn't great.

What's good about "Relativity" is that it knows what it is. It's fun, doesn't take itself seriously, and rolls with it. A lot like "Little Green Men".

1. In a Mirror Darkly Part 2
2. Twilight
3. Yesterday's Enterprise
4. Trials and Tribble-ations
5. Relativity

 

[RegFan]

Firstborn (Why doesn't anyone else list this as one of their favorite episodes?)
All Good Things
Trials and Tribble-ations
The Visitor
Shattered

Other good time travel episodes that didn't quite make it into the list:
Twilight
Cause and Effect
Time's Arrow
Year of Hell
Time's Orphan (I know this isn't a popular episode, but this episode has a really emotional story)

 

[Mareika]

In no order

Timeless (Voy)
Futures End (Voy)
Shattered (Voy)
Yesterdays Enterprise (TNG)
Before and After (Voy)

 

[You_Guyz]

Year of Hell

Not a time travel story in any sense of the word.

 

[Mysterion]

The Visitor
City on the Edge of Forever
Yesterday's Enterprise
Trials and Tribble-ations
Little Green Men

 

[The Wormhole]

Year of Hell

Not a time travel story in any sense of the word.

I agree with you. Unfortunately, since it did end up on the Time Travel Fan Collective DVD set, it can be labeled as a time travel episode.

At the end of Year of Hell doesn't the destruction of the time machine cause everyone to time travel back to the beginning of the year? Seems like a time travel episode to me.

1. The City on the Edge of Forever
2. Eye of the Needle
3. Timeless
4. Relativity
5. Twilight

what exactly makes 'all good things' a time-travel episode? isn't the point of them that not the travellers change, but the time around them? jean-luc certainly looked distinctly different. looks like his consciousness only was wandering, sort of a dream. or was it the trip to earth's past? in this case we can also allow 'death wish'.

 

[RobertScorpio]

Great thread...

THE VISITOR
CITY ON THE EDGE
YESTERDAY'S ENTERPRISE
BEYOUND THE FARTHEST STAR
TRIALS AND TRIBBLE-ATIONS

 

[The Wormhole]

At the end of Year of Hell doesn't the destruction of the time machine cause everyone to time travel back to the beginning of the year? Seems like a time travel episode to me.

That's a reset so that the year never happened. No one had any memories of it.

but we do...this is just a TV show. So, to us, it did happen to them...

I watched "Shattered" list night and it reminded me of how good a time travel episode can be without using the same old formula.

[Pegaritaville]

I'm not a big fan of time travel episodes, but when I think about all of them, I realize there are number of good ones.

Anyway, in no particular order:

"City on the Edge of Forever" (TOS)
"Trials and Tribble-ations" (DS9)
"Cause and Effect" (TNG)
"Little Green Men" (DS9)
"Eye of the Needle" (VOY)

 

[RyuRoots]

Personally, I will never understand why people love Trials and Tribble-ations as much as people seem to. It was a fun romp, but nothing amazing. For me, in no particular order:

Yesterday's Enterprise
Cause and Effect
All Good Things...
Past Tense
Timeless

I'd put First Contact in here somewhere, but it said "episodes", so yeah.
