Exact Progress Bar?

And perhaps Race Against the Clock.

Hmm...not quite. I'm thinking more about those situations where the writers seem to arbitrarily make some phlebotinum take a long time to take effect. The amount of time is irrelevant so long as it causes suspense or it is expedient to kill Spock's mama and the writers couldn't seem to find a more dignified cause of death.

Could it be Magic Countdown or Traveling at the Speed of Plot?

Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.
