Three

Story: Cause and Effect
Written By: Brannon Braga
Series: Star Trek: The Next Generation
Year: 1992

One of the better scripts penned entirely by Brannon Braga. The episode begins with Enterprise exploding. BAM. Got my attention. The ship is caught in a time loop, and the events keep repeating until the ship explodes.
The episode keeps it as best it can with an episode that spends much of the time just repeating things we have already seen, but I think they vary it enough to keep it interesting.

It is a pretty decent outing, and the end with the other ship featuring a much older crew who has also been trapped in the loop for a much longer time is pretty solid.
