"Cause and Effect" is one of my favorite episodes too.  In fact, it was probably the best episode Brannon Braga ever wrote by himself.  And Frakes' direction is top notch as always.  I liked how he shot each sequence from different angles in order to help break from the monotony of seeing the same scene played out the same way over and over again.  The devil is in the details.

I wonder if anyone actually got off the ship in time...

I like to think so. A crew member was near an escape pod when Captain Picard gave the order to abandon ship, got in, ejected, and survived the explosion. Even though that crew member survived, he or she would still be caught in the temporal causality loop and have to repeat the process for 17.4 days until Data executes Riker's plan. Let's have some fun with this one:
Red Shirt log: I have survived the Destruction of the Enterprise under Captain Picard. ¿I am now going to send out a distress signal and set a course to the closest Class M planet... ... "Captain's Log, Stardate 45652.1. The Enterprise has entered an area of space known as the Typhon Expanse. We are the first Starfleet vessel to chart this unexplored region." ... "All hands, abandon ship! Repeat - all hands, abandon...

I am coming out of lurkdom to express my love for this episode. It's one of my top 10 TNG episodes. I'm going to watch it tomorrow after work I think. It's been a while.

I always wondered what people were doing in their quarters when the Captain ordered "Abandon Ship!" Ensign in shower: "What!? Oh cr#*!!!"

One of my favorite TNG episodes indeed, but it is too bad they couldn't put in a Constitution Class Starship instead of another reliant rebuild .  As far as Kristy not wanting to do Trek for less money that was a bad move on her part in regards to her career.  She really is nobody now, sad, she could have had better memories if she had just been willing to do III and IV as well as TNG, I know I would have if she had stayed with Trek!  Oh well.
