   And the episode titles!  With the exception of maybe half a dozen of    
   them, they evoke no recall.  Neither does the prologue.  One will start,    
   and I'll watch and think "can I possibly actually not seen this??"    
   although you can tell if Braga wrote it 'cause NOTHING will happen to    
   justify the music sting:   
      
   Captain, the harmless planet we've got standard orders to drop off the    
   bread shipment is ahead.   
   Standard Orbit, Ensign.   
   DAH DAH DAH DAH DAH DAH DAH DAHHH DAHHH DAHHHH DAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!   
   (opening credits)   
      
   A few commecials, and finally it starts with some one word title like    
   "battle" and it STILL doesn't mean anything, and finally you get far    
   enough in to say "oh, this is a lousy one" and turn it off.  Every    
   freaking time.   
      
   TOS, I can tell you what the ep is a music sting or dialog line into the    
   prologue, and you've got at least 50/50 odds that it's a watchable    
   episode.
