These are the most important times in Star Trek that simply never existed at all

Star Trek has often teased the audience with a glimpse into what could be, what was, and what never came to pass. They have it down to an art form, spreading across all of the franchise iterations. While sometimes those timelines were fascinating, there are yet more that would freeze the soul, were they left to seep into our main reality.
There are simply too many possible universes and timelines that could exist out there, so much like DC's decision with their Crisis On Infinite Earths, the producers have erred on the side of caution in Star Trek. A timeline that may seem cool and inviting today may simply vanish from existence tomorrow. When that timeline sees your ship battered day after day by a seemingly unstoppable force, then perhaps not all destruction is an ill, nor loss of memory a sad thing.
Here are just some of those timelines that have gone to the great recycling bin in the sky, and while some may hope for a restoration worthy of the Bajoran Prophets, there are yet more who we were glad to see the back of.
