I just rewatched some S1 Futurama for the first time in a while and the disc based tech is mad. Funny how no-one saw the move away from physical media until it happened.
Also, had the same experience showing Fringe to my wife. All time great show

Same. I honestly can't think of anything that comes close.
"On the other hand, its kind of an opportunity."
"How's that?"
"Well think about it. If you know in advance that everything was always going to go back to the way it was, then...you could do anything. For as long as you want, without having to worry about consequences."
"...excuse me."

Heaven Sent from Dr Who is best example of this. It is also one of the best stories from the franchise overall.

Is White Tulip the one with Peter Weller (RoboCop)? That's one of the best of the show.

Not a "time-loop" episode in the strictest sense, but...

The only problem I had with Year of Hell is that Janeway sent all her people out into the quadrant with the specs for temporal shielding. So all those shuttlecraft, escape pods, etc, wouldn’t have been subject to the final destruction of the time ship, and the shockwave righting everything wouldn’t have effected them.
So there would be duplicates of half the crew out there.

Rewatching it for the first time in 10 years right now with my girlfriend who’s never seen it. My god is it utterly incredible. She loves it too. My favourite thing about it is for such a futuristic forward thinking show with huge ideas - I love seeing what they thought futuristic technology should look like in 2011 and it’s so dated haha.

Yes! Great episode. The end always makes me question why Frasiers crew never developed Deja vu like the Enterprise crew.

She seems to be taking a bunch from Natasha Lyonne in Russian Doll, for one.

This. I usually hate groundhog days episodes. But that was really good. And for movies a Edge of Tomorrow m

The Agents Of SHIELD one was absolutely fantastic, and pretty funny. It knows its audience, knows the audience knows these episodes, and does things a bit differently or amusingly.
But I quite like Red Dwarf's riff on them in Future Echoes. Only the second episode ever, it takes the concept - seeing the future - and makes it immediate. Rather than experiencing the future all as one before returning to the start, the episode says "here's a quick bit of the future, now here you are again experiencing it from the start - and nothing you do will change the outcome".
This is best illustrated by Lister finding the Cat with a broken tooth in a "future echo'". He doesn't know what caused it, but decides he can change the future by preventing the Cat from breaking his tooth. Realising the Cat is about to try eating his robot goldfish and breaking his tooth on that, Lister wrestles the robot goldfish away from the Cat, and in the struggle breaks the Cat's tooth.

yep, it's something that has been bothering me ever since. Still a fantastic, mind bending episode
