   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.
