Star Trek perfected a time travel trope that the Terminator franchise has never mastered. Time travel is a crucial part of science fiction, and nearly every major franchise in the genre has leaned into it. The concept is baked into the Terminator franchise’s DNA too, yet Star Trek: Enterprise’s sole comic book one-upped it in a major way.

In the story “The Fragile Beauty of Loyalty,” written by Vivek J. Tiwary and drawn by Hugo Petrus and appearing in Star Trek: Waypoint #4, Porthos, the beloved beagle of Captain Jonathan Archer , travels back in time to save a younger version of his human from an attempt on his life by agents of the Temporal Cold War.
