No way, it's definitely one of the better episodes, probably the best performance Gates Mcfadden gave in the series. I always wondered what happened to the crew of the other ship though. Is that the one where the whole universe disappears, other than her on the bridge? That's a weird one. Nah, this is the one where they are trapped in a time loop and keep playing out the same events. |

There were like 5 of those... 'time loops' were like a the whole season after 'fun with holodecks'
So that must be the one where she had Data rig the poker game so they'd know something was wrong? Or was that the one were Data had to set up his own loop to satisfy aliens?

The poker one, it was pretty great and it had Frasier as starfleet captain.

3. Voyager, Commander Chakotay and Guest Stars on this Show too. January was okay Who or what was "January"? Seven of Nine was Voyager  There must be a pocketbooks novel featuring that crew.  Dammit. Now I need to track that sucker down and read it! No way, it's definitely one of the better episodes, probably the best performance Gates Mcfadden gave in the series. I always wondered what happened to the crew of the other ship though. Is that the one where the whole universe disappears, other than her on the bridge? That's a weird one. You're thinking of "Remember Me," a similar, but different episode. I love that one too. |

My favorite episode is "Cause and Effect." It has the best pre-credit opening of any episode, and I love the Twilight-Zone feel that permeates the story You and I are the only two people I know who agree about this  It was a cool idea and Gates McFadden played it well, but it got, well, repetitive. |

There was Time Squared in Season 2 and Cause and Effect in Season 5 Time's Arrow technically had a time loop in it, but that was not the focus. And the final episode, All Good Things..., dealt with time, but it wasn't a causality loop. |

MechaGodzilla's Rating of all the TV Series3. Voyager, Commander Chakotay and Guest Stars on this Show too. January was okay 4. Deep Space Nine, Captain Sisko and Seven O Nine were the best. 5. Enterprise, T,Pol, Hoshi Sato, and Dr. Phlox were my favorite characters. I liked the actor, but Chakotay had blessed little to do beyond being a borderline insulting generic Native American. Was January a dig? Seven was on Voyager. The actor that played Phlox made him entertaining, which is why the genocide was so disappointing... |

Seven O Nine on Voyager. You were right. Note to all ... If you see all of these shows sometimes your mind plays tricks on you. I should had paid better attention to my post, next time I will be more careful. |

PErhaps they weren't all loops per say, but they did alot of that stuff... there was the one with the Poker thing, then there was the one were there were a billion different enterprises (that might not have been an actual loop, but it was similar), then there was the one were Data tried to put them in a loop to make them forget some aliens... then there was a couple with alternate Enterprises with Riker in charge that had to get put back they way they came... I feel like that sorta thing happened a whole lot in a sort period of time. |

PErhaps they weren't all loops per say, but they did alot of that stuff... there was the one with the Poker thing, Yup. One of the two time loop episodes. I don't see how. It didn't even involve time. They were alternate realities. They may have been repeating previous events, but no time travel was involved. And they weren't even aware they'd been repeating the process (nor were we) until the very end of the episode. The episode you cited above and the final episode. Two examples of this. And neither were time loops. I guess I just don't see how the examples you cited above are all that repetitive of one another, but you're entitled to your opinion. |
