Who is the most Dangerous Time Traveler in Trek ?

[DanGussin]

Of all the time travel in Trek, who was the worst offender and why ?

 

[USS Triumphant]

Obviously, Q. He screwed around with wiping out the beginning of life on Earth just to make a point about causation to Picard.

Spoiler: Discovery Season 2

Obviously Michael's mother. She completely messed with the timeline that it doesn't even look like Star Trek anymore.

 

[tharpdevenport]

I rule out Q, because he can just fix it with the snap of a finger.

I don't have a singular one and I don't want to think about others, but going by the list, here are my thoughts on one:

McCoy:
Potentially dangerous. Just look at what he did in STIV: TVH when Scotty talked him to easily (like a hot knife threw butter) giving up the transparent aluminum formula. what else could someone talk him into or he talk himself into divulging in the rights circumstances?

 

[Vger23]

Lazarus....

...and Lazarus

 

[DanGussin]

Lazarus....

...and Lazarus

Lazarus was not a time traveler.

He was from an anti matter based universe that co existed with our own.

I'm forced to vehemently disagree with you:

FROM "THE ALTERNATIVE FACTOR"
LAZARUS: You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
KIRK: Try us.
LAZARUS: All right. I distorted a fact in the interest of self-preservation, for my holy cause. I needed help, not censure. Freedom, not captivity for being a madman. I was afraid that's what you'd call me if I told you the truth.
KIRK: I'll have the truth now.
LAZARUS: My planet, my Earth, or what's left of it, is down there beneath us.
KIRK: What are you saying?
LAZARUS: My spaceship is more than just that. It's a time chamber, a time-ship, and I. I am a time traveller.
KIRK: And this thing you search for is a time traveler, too?
LAZARUS: Oh, yes. He's fled me across all the years, all the empty years to a dead future on a murdered planet he destroyed.

I know my Lazarui, sir. Don't ever doubt me.

James T. Kirk! The man was a disaster.
From Trials and Tribble-ations [DS9]:
LUCSLY: Seventeen separate temporal violations. The biggest file on record.

You are correct, thanks for pointing that out. He might move up on my list.

In a way it makes the sacrifice of the "sane" Lazarus even more poignant. Instead of becoming focused on saving his own world and everyone he loved, he choose to ensure the safe continuation of two universes.

How is Janeway not on here? She rewrote 16 years of history to save one crewman.

 

[Refuge]

Does Annorax qualify? "...over the next two centuries to restore Kyana Prime. He oversaw the repeated disappearance and restoration of billions of people over thousands of worlds..."

 

[NewHeavensNewEarth]

Totally Janeway.

 

[Refuge]

Actually what about Discovery and the spore/mycelial network? That messes with everything. Stamets I suppose.

 

[The Old Mixer]

@thribs , is that a Discovery Season 2 spoiler in post #3?

 

[Mojochi]

What's more dangerous, deliberate tampering, or sheer dumbasshatery? Because in some ways, I feel it's the latter, & then Rassmussen kind of ranks up there, a conman just stumbling around with no agenda beyond profiting, and actually woefully out of his depths, because he never had to know a damn thing to obtain his time travel ability. It's like letting Dennis The Menace get a time machine. The potential for damage there is staggering imho

 

[Soong-type Android]

Didn't that businessman from 1996 use a 29th century time machine to accidentally destroy the solar system by travelling into the future leading to Voyager going back in time to stop him in Future's End?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Another vote for Annorax.

The dumbass.

More of an opinion than a spoiler. One of those "this doesn't look like Star Trek" comments, I'd say.

 

[Doctor Bombay]

Kirk definitely.

 

[USS Triumphant]

@thribs , is that a Discovery Season 2 spoiler in post #3?

I mean, Michael's mom *did* give birth to her, so it's all her fault.
