Oh, right, Star Trek and Stargate. I... probably forgot them because those episodes, for me, usually ended up needlessly dramatic i.e. unintentionally funny, but yeah, I oughtta look some of those up too, when I get around to it.
Although... those shows usually don't have the Getting To Know The World element in, which is one of the more pertinent in my analysis, because everyone already knows each other. Star Trek usually uses time loops as an excuse to kill off/blow up someone/thing important repeatedly to establish The Stakes, rather than as a method to grow the characters. Also so they can reuse footage when the funds run low
