<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Ah yes, the Boseman NCC 1941, captained by Morgan Bateson, (Played by Kelsey Grammer). The Starship from the 23rd century which was Modernized to defend against Borg technology and if you listen to the audio in First Contact right after Picard tells Troi to put the battle on speaker, you can here Kelsey Grammer accept orders on behalf of the Bosemen. Nice touch.

It was a good episode of STNG. How many times did the Enterprise blow up?

Not exactrly a time-loop thing, but near enough: Twelve Monkies.

I need to see that film again, and this time I'm gonna try to watch it sober.

Re: OT: the best time loop ?
 

I got another time travel movie that defies description: Time Cop. Didn't necessarily loop, but he did go back a couple of times to the same point in time, and his house did blow up twice. What I really liked about this movie was that in the end, none of it happened. The bad guy and his younger self both died at the same time, thus causing time to flow in a different manner in which his life went on as it should have. Too bad he had no memory of the happy life.

I guess you would have to consider the Terminator series as a Time Loop too.

And I forget the name of the movie, but a moder day Aircraft carrier is sent back in time to just prior to the Sneak attack at Pearl Harbor. That was a good movie as well.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That movie was The Final Countdown. It's coming out on DVD soon, and I've already pre-ordered it. It's almost the perfect movie for me; it has both time travel and Pearl Harbor, 2 of my favorite subjects. Now, if Martin Sheen just wasn't in it.....

Re: OT: the best time loop ?
 

Bill Murray is more or less condemned to repeat the day until he get's everything right. It finally gets where he sort realizes what's going on. Every time he screws up, he knows he's just going to wake up again on Goundhog Day. And you're right, it's a very good movie.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I have to disagree. The Terminator, at least the first one, is more of a time paradox movie. If Sarah Conner hadn't of met Kyle Reese originally, then who was the father of John who led the revolution? But John couldn't exist without Kyle Reese making jiggy with Sarah, right? That's what I've always wondered about.
