Star Trek characters have dealt with "timey-wimey" stuff almost as often as a certain alien Doctor.

So what's with Star Trek's writers and time anyway? Since its debut in 1966, Star Trek's writers have sent characters through time almost as often as they've sent them to strange new worlds. Characters have been to Great Depression-era New York City, Los Angeles in the 1990s, San Francisco in the 1980s, San Francisco in the 1880s, Los Angeles in 2024, and the Federation in the 32nd century.
Typically Star Trek's time travel stories have featured the protagonists correcting the timeline, protecting the future by changing the past, and generally setting right what once went wrong. These stories end with the heroes completing their objective and finding their way back to their own time.
However, there's been more than one occasion when characters have had one-way journeys through time. Sometimes they simply spend centuries drifting through space in sleeper ships, sometimes they've been abducted by aliens and left in suspended animation, sometimes they've unknowingly bought a one way ticket through a rip in spacetime, sometimes they've joined with alien travelers to help maintain the timeline, and sometimes they've actively decided to live in another time. With that in mind here are 10 characters who've been permanently displaced in time.
