Thanks, Alan, for all of us impatient types!

I'm seeing several circular features in this swath -- if I didn't know any better (and I don't), I'd say they look like subdued impact features which have been mostly eroded into nothingness. Perhaps overlaid by sedimentary deposits. But I see lots of what really look, to me, like old craters. (Especially near the top of the lower third of the swath, above the obvious large flow feature that trends from bottom to top.)

This is one of the first times I'd say we see what looks like typical cratered terrain anywhere in the Titan radar swaths... even if it's been eroded to near-flatness.
