There ’s always been clock time travelling inStar Trek;sometimes This was it ’s done well , sometimes less so .
at times it ’s been used in the moving-picture show too : Star Trek IV : The Voyage Homehas Kirk and gang journey back to get some heavyweight , and the first twoTrek rebootshave unconstipated visit from next Spock .
This was but it ’s in the various serial publication where they ’ve used fourth dimension travelling not just to enjoin a playfulness fib , but to unveil something about human race , involve moral doubt , and yes , give us a ripe fourth dimension with some playfulness anachronism and a alteration of press .
We ’ve leave out a few sequence that could be rede as meter locomotion , when a persona experience another major planet ’s story , like the smart as a whip " The Inner Light " fromThe Next Generationor " Memorial " fromVoyager .
This was these all take property in the same realism our fictitious character live on in .
Some are more about personal stake , and some regard the total universe of discourse , which is in all likelihood why it always throw Janeway a worry ; once you get down spring around from one timeline to another , it can be operose to keep path of what ’s move on .
So here , in all its aura and mix-up , with example from the original serial publication ( TOS),The Next Generation(TNG),Deep Space Nine(DS9 ) , andVoyager(VOY ) , are the18 Best Time Travel Episodes OfStar Trek .
