My addition of TNG to this list was reverted, and I can see why. I personally think it DOES belong on this list, but I do not plan to start an edit war. While there isn't much of a continuous plot in the show, one of the only ongoing conflicts in the show is against "Q" a near-omnipotent being who causes mischief, transporting the main characters through time in at least one episode in nearly every season. If there is a plot to TNG as a whole, most would agree that it is Q's test of whether humanity deserves to be a space-traveling species, and frequently uses time travel to do so.

I think there's several TNG episodes (I haven't seen Picard) in which Q places the crew in scenarios representative of different time periods. I'm less certain of episodes in which there's actual time travel (as in, the crew have the ability to influence past or future events). I also think it's overly-broad to call TNG on the whole a 'time travel work of fiction'. It would more accurately, IMO, be called a 'work of fiction featuring time travel' (in some episodes), but if my work with categories is any indication, we should focus on items where the work is about time travel (or where time travel is a strong element). Time travel is a major point in several TNG episodes, but the series as a whole isn't about that. Arguably you'd have more success with ENT, which had an entire Temporal Cold War plotline.

Would Bodies (2023 TV series) be appropriate to include in the TV series section? DH85868993 (talk) 05:57, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
