Fuselage Member Rankings of Season 5 Episodes Compared (plus S2 - S4)

[jennylee27]

Since season 2 and 3, I have taken the liberty of compiling the ratings of Fuselage members for all the episodes of both seasons. The Season 2 thread is here, the Season 3 thread is here, and the Season 4 thread is here.

Below, I provide the rankings for Season 5 alone, as well as for Seasons 2-5 combined. Some notes:

• There was a change in the way the polls were created halfway through Season 3. For information on that and the changing method of the analysis, see the Season 3 thread.
• There has been some talk in the ranking threads about whether people are making “valid” choices when they post their personal rankings. I’m not going to get in to that here (although certainly you can feel free to do so yourself). These numbers are only meant to represent what they are: the average of the votes cast for each episode, listed in descending order.
• The number of voters for each episode is a small percentage of active Fuselage members, and a smaller percentage of total registered at the site. This list can only represent those who voted. Also, the number of voters is a bit low this season, don't know why.
  

Ok, now with all those caveats, enjoy the lists. Thanks to Karri for setting up the polls each week, and to all that voted.

I've been waiting for this post- thanks a lot for doing this again! Very interesting numbers, and it proves that I agree with the majority on the episodes of Season 5. I'm a little surprised Dead is Dead rated higher then Because You Left, although they both were great episodes.

[jennylee27]

You're welcome! I'm happy to, especially as it only takes about a half hour.

I didn't love Dead is Dead. I was one of the few who rated it kind of low. Ha.

P.S. I realize the thread title says the wrong season - I asked the mods for a fix.

thanks jenny ! I think i gave every episode a 10 or 9 because I can never find big flaws with lost lol

Overall I agree with everyone here !
