Never used in the final film.

Nah, I think that the early Voyager episode "Time and Again" is the
worst, the stupidness is what made me stop watching that series.

"Yesterday's Enterprise" is flawed, but if you consider the "new"
timeline shown in that that the "real" timeline, and the story as we
know it the branch (which is sort of backed up by Sela appearing
later). But you have to ignore - or explain - Guinan's knowledge of a
timeline that doesn't yet exist.

"All Good Things..." is Q. God-like beings messing with people (and
it all ending up as "just a dream") means the rules don't have to
apply.

"Time and Again" involves a timeline that is predicated on them
beaming down and negated by itself.

Yeah, but Temporal Memory usually applies to existing timelines, not
timelines that shouldn't exist yet.
