OK, everbody, lets have a contest to relieve the tedium of seeing
a Star Trek episode for the 20th time.  You'll be on your honor not to
cheat in this one.

Watch the teaser (opening) of the next episode on your local Veg-a-Matic
and record album station. Start a stopwatch.  See how many seconds it takes
you to recognize the episode.  Give yourself extra credit if you can also
produce the episode title before it is shown at the end of the commercial.
Its harder than you think, with the way they have chopped up the
syndication prints.

I've tried this twice during the past few days.  My scores were 20 and 45
seconds before positive identification, including the titles.
Can anyone do better?
