A Retread, But a Welcome One

Warning: Spoilers
In "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad" the Discovery gets stuck in a time loop when Harry Mudd uses a special gem to try to steal the ship and its secrets by giving himself innumerable chances to try over and over again. Only Stamets' odd new relationship with time and space keeps him aware of what is happening as he tries his best to stop Mudd with the help of Michael.

Sure, it's a blatant ripoff of the TNG episode "Cause and Effect" with a TOS character but at least I had some fun watching this episode. They actually.ade a good standalone episode that doesn't need to worry so much about the season long story arc. They should try to do more things like that. Hopefully they have some original ideas though and don't just rehash old classics...
