The very episode that at once turned me into a Trek fan.

Yeah, that episode (or the decision at the end) was in a way similar to Star Trek: The Motion Picture when they encountered that asteroid in the warp field. Kirk is like, "blast it with lasers!" and Decker goes, "Belay that order"
Picard kept giving the wrong directions which lead to the Enterprise getting destroyed and Riker's suggestion was all but ignored. It was Data that finally saw the pattern of 3's that kept appearing throughout this episode and he clued in that the it was the 3 pips on Riker's collar, and that it was Riker was correct all along.

Every person that served can be called a veteran, but not every veteran can be called a Marine.

Ahh okay I know the episode you are talking about by the way we are now old people complaining about plots being unoriginal haha

No that's another one I didn't think of! Coincidentally, in "Cause and Effect" they are all playing poker and start to experience deja vu.

wait is this the episode where they have to
buy the casino to get out of the time loop?

Yeah it is THE time loop story. I haven't seen it done that well. The breaking in the last act happened a bit too conveniently but otherwise it was fantastic. Especially the appearance of the other ship's captain at the end.
