    I would call the 3rd series opener of TOS "What is brain?"

    Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad - just change "Mad" to "Mudd" and it's infinitely better. We seriously need more puns. Or at least I do.

    This one is not mine so it probably doesn't count, but I recall seeing a B-movie style fan poster for The Wolf Inside titled "My Boyfriend's a Secret Klingon! (in Technicolor)"

    Good, but maybe shorter, like "Serpent in the Garden" (also the name of a TOS novel).
    For the lols, I'd call it "Worf in the Fold."

    One of the many, many, MANY reasons I utterly hated dumbed-down Enterprise is that they made the Vulcans so villainous, backstabbing and crooked, the only Trek I hated more than ENT was Jar-Jar Abrams crooked, arrogant, cognitively RETARDED versions of Trek. I found ENT so detestable that I won't watch a single episode of that sci-fi-feces to this day.

    Well, in DS9 we meet one logical and attractive female Vulcan...

    ...who is a terrorist.

    The next is a seething hating arrogant Vulcan supremacist, who loathes humans.

    The next after that is a serial killer.

    I'll ENT's Vulcans any day over that. They may seem arrogant, but they don't really understand why people find them arrogant, or animosity, or why you don't like them. They are a logical, cautious race.

    Change "One" to "Doctor, please give me something because I'm hallucinating."

    Or for a more serious title, maybe "Myself and I"

    This makes me want to see a future episode titled "No Idea, Whatever, I'll Just Put Something Here Tomorrow."

    It could also work for a whole bunch of other episodes like TNG's Clues and Conundrum, or DS9's Whispers.

    Yes I mean. Brainwashing Tuvok is one thing but Tuvok able to convert any ex-maquis into a hard-line maquis with a simple mindmeld!! It's a wonder the Vulcans have been conquered in the Mirror Universe with such powers!!!
