I’m ranking episodes based on a criteria primarily of personal enjoyment, including guilty pleasure without deducting points for the ‘guilt’, and on comfiness factor. You have joined the darkside and starting rating things!
Don't worry if these numbers bonce around a bit. It is hard to quantify. I was always split between trying to rate "objective" quality versus personal enjoyment and now I lean much more towards the later myself. I say just roll with what you feel. That is osrt of what I am doing now even if sometimes other factors still come into play.
>>10799 >The only other point I have against the episode is that it borders on being a reference to tribbles – it’s not QUITE there, I have heard conflicting information on how much they were influenced by tribbles. I think, IF, and that is a big if, I recall correctly, M.A Larson didn't conceive of parasprites being a tribbles reference but Lauren Faust did.
>I’d say the maximum is 9.9. With those two minor points against it, I’d say I deduct two decimals… So something like 9.7? It’s easily my favourite so far, I think it holds up very well indeed. And that seems to have been reflected with the length of my review - 3 posts! I had a lot more to say about it, it seems! And honestly fair, I think it might be my second favorite so far, but I am still debating. It certainly was top on funny factor.
