Post a quote, that could have just been text but instead for some stupid reason is an image, entertain me!

The renfest in KC is probably 75% "period" dress and the other 25% just people who have a fun costume from some part of nerddom and wanted to wear it. A Star Trek outfit wouldn't really get a 2nd glance, ha.

Do you get many Bill & Teds or Marty & Docs at renfairs?

I feel like Star Trek cosplay at a renfaire is doing it wrong. Particularly TOS. TOS didn't do a lot of time travel, they just kept encountering alien planets that had a convenient resemblance to historic periods on earth.
Clearly we need to be period correct and cosplay from long, long ago. We just got lost and aren't in a galaxy far far away anymore.
Yes, I did go to a commercial renfaire dressed as Darth Vader with some friends including someone else also dressed as Darth Vader, why do you ask?

The City on the Edge of Forever

All Our Yesterdays
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

I never said they didn't do any. I'd say that four episodes and one movie (with TOS characters but, as a movie, not part of The Original *Series*) qualifies as not a lot.

On the other hand, I think that four episodes and one movie qualifies as far too many time travel episodes.

Keep in mind that the original series only got 3 seasons (and of course 6 movies).

It's enough that there are multiple time travel missions in the Star Trek MMO (and they are pretty cool).

I googled "A list of Star Trek Episodes with Time Travel by Series" and, for a show that was all about trying to get back home, Voyager time travelled back to earth more than any other series by 1 episode. I feel that's somewhat ironic?

If you're curious, I got the list from this article (and Memory Alpha) and the breakdown, not including movies, is:

The Original Series: 5
The Next Generation: 10
Deep Space Nine: 10
Voyager: 11
Enterprise: 10
Discovery: 11? I mean, do you count the last season (two seasons? how long have they been in the future now?) as still time travelling if they can't go back?
Picard: Like, ALL of season 2?
Strange New Worlds: 3

Now, feel free to correct me, 'cause as much as I'm a Trekie, my knowledge ain't that deep and my attention span for crawling Memory Alpha wasn't that long

One of my favourite historical facts: The Egyptian pyramids were already a thousand years old when the last mammoth died.

Makes me wonder how much mammoth ivory has been found in North Africa and Egypt. Pretty extensive trade networks even at that time. An Egyptian pharaoh might have had mammoth jewelry, cartouches, beads, whatever.... Maybe even wool...

It's true. It's one heck of a fight.
