There are lots of ways to write a "time travel" episode, but characters going back in time to change the future, but only to be the cause is my favorite.

>it changes for the better
>it's not shown until they go back again to change one bad thing

That'd make a nice star trek episode.

>they go back to the past
>accidentally change something
>the future ends out much better
>they have to debate the ethics of an improved version of the future vs what was meant to happen, temporal prime directive etc.

Huh. You're actually really right.

I could totally see Picard discussing the whole thing with Q, or maybe Riker, Worf, and Data.

Didn't Family Guy have the exact opposite happen? Where, save Peter's marriage, the rest of the world was stated to be better?
I mean, I hate to give Family Guy credit for being creative, but if the shoe fits...

>time travel
>they return to their own time not realizing that they're in a separate universe and that they disappeared from their original universe saddening friends and family.

sort of like that bit on the simpsons where homer changes his future to be incredible with the caveat that "donuts" appear to no longer exist?

Except it rains donuts in that world, but he left before he could see it.

/tv/ here.

This was the series finale of Star Trek Voyager.

I'm pretty sure the future turned out for the better, but I didn't read the novels.

They also had to change the past and future in the "Year of Hell" storyline, which also turned out for the better.

Yeah, except "debating the ethics" was Janeway going "fuck you, this is better". Voyager probably saved billions of lives from the Borg going through the original way, not to mention all the random stops they usually made to help the aliens of the week. That got tossed to save ~40 crew members, at the risk of handing the Borg technology that would've made them the supreme power in the galaxy short of Q. Most sane people would've shot Janeway in the head as soon as she outlined her plan.

Wasn't that an alternative present that only looked like the future because there was no religion?
