Yea, this episode was solid - I'd give alot of the credit to Rainn Wilson though.

Was that the bad guy? Yeah he was pretty awsome, strong Q vibes acting wise. I expect he will be back again.
They had some clever twists to the time loop trope that I really loved in this episode.

Yea, AKA Dwight from The Office (US)
Harcourt Mudd for his character name though. (Who was an occasional adversary in Star Trek: Original Series)

She has an average face at best, but she always had some nice tits.
Is this show worth downloading?

"Damn good" is setting the bar a bit low, but yeah it wasn't as awful as the rest of the season so far. Possibly because the guy playing Mudd is nailing the role so well and it was fairly independent of the retarded story arc they've built up so far. All the interpersonal drama they wasted half the episode on was annoying though. If you put it in one of the better TNG/DS9 seasons it'd probably pass for a mid-tier episode.

If every episode was up to par with that one, Discovery would be a better show than The Orville.

Yeah Orville was pretty awful this week. They really need to decide if they're making a Trek-style show with some humor, or a Trek parody with some serious stories thrown in, because it swings around pretty wildly at the moment. The fact that all of their best characters were basically absent for the entire episode didn't help.
For STD I agree they executed the "groundhog" side of the episode well, but I still think that side of it was counterweighted by the interpersonal stuff. It felt awkward and shoehorned in. Not that other Trek's didn't have their share of really lame interpersonal stuff, but still. The fact that the episode was basically carried by Mudd, while the main cast were as awkward and wooden as ever, doesn't make me optimistic going forward.

Oh, hell, no. Best groundhog episode among any TV series is, hands-down, Stargate SG1's Window of Opportunity.
As for Trek, yes TNG had an excellent episode titled Cause and Effect (episode). Which STD's episode seemed to copy to some extent.

I've seen those, this one was better because the villain was also exploiting the time loop from the inside and the good guy who remembered everything was NOT the main character. Really nice twists on the concept.

This show reminds me of Fear the Walking Dead: I don't like any of the characters nor do I even remember their name (except for MICHAEL because it's absurd).

Yeah it's weird, I only really like that one villain lol but I still really dig the show. Lorca is in second however just for giving no fucks (and also potentially being a villain depending on how you see it).
EDIT: The first captain was good, but RIP.
I also hate the walking dead, what a shit show.
