Star Trek: The Next Generation innovated several science fiction storylines, and their time loop episode is no exception. In “Cause and Effect” (https://sfdebris.com/videos/startrek/t218.php), Episode 18 of the show’s fifth season, the Enterprise crew finds themselves in a common sci-fi situation: the time loop. While the concept of repeating the same day was popularized for American audiences by Groundhog Day in 1993 and has since become a staple of cinema in movies like Edge of Tomorrow, Palm Springs, and the Happy Death Day franchise, Star Trek premiered their episode’s story in 1992, the year before Bill Murray suffered his famous holiday.
