Our Ranking Scale
We ranked each episode on a 0-5 scale for five different categories:
- Writing: overall writing quality, how in-character everyone was
- Humor: how funny the episode is, and if the jokes land well
- Plot: relevance to the season arc plot, as well as internal coherence
- Iconic: how memorable and well-known the episode is
- Feels: how emotionally affecting the episode is
For a potential maximum score of 25 points. We also awarded bonus points or demerits based on outstanding aspects of the episode - generally +/- up to 2 points (although we didn't set a formal cap).
