Plot
This episode begins with the Enterprise blowing up with all hands on
board. This scene, and the events leading up to it, are repeated several
times with minor variations, as the crew of the Enterprise come to realize
that they are caught in a time loop. Kelsey Grammer appears as the captain
of another ship that has been caught in the same area of space for over 100
years.

Goofs
- The first time we see Picard in the Sickbay talking to Geordi and Dr.
Crusher, he is wearing his standard uniform, and states he had a feeling
of deja vu when he was reading. However, in the next loop, he is shown
wearing his grey uniform while reading in his ready room, and when he's
in Sickbay, he's also wearing his maroon jacket. (Also recall that in the
first loop, when he is talking to Beverly, he is wearing the grey
uniform. Thus, the sequence goes: grey -> standard -> grey). Presumably,
both instances of this scene happen at the same "time", and since
Picard's behaviour was not affected until Dr. Crusher contacted him, why
is he wearing the standard uniform in one loop, and the grey uniform in
the next loop?
