Finally had the time to rate all episodes and plot the results!

And is the number scale just based on how much you like the episode, or do you rate it based on multiple factors you add up? And why did you decide on a scale where big numbers are bad and small numbers good?

I've got to admit, that threw me off as well. I'm used to 4, 5 or 10 point scales, the higher number the better.
 
So are these general consensus ratings, or your own personal ratings of the episodes?

Kor
My very own personal impression (the only valid source I know, where would you find real general consensus?) ;)

And is the number scale just based on how much you like the episode, or do you rate it based on multiple factors you add up? And why did you decide on a scale where big numbers are bad and small numbers good? And why no 0?

And Lord Garth, can you explain your number scale?
How much I like it, which includes story, originality, emotional effects, VFX, acting, design, soundtrack,...
It's a school grade system like A-F. I was graded with 1-5/6 for 23 years, so now I did some grading myself ;)
 
I'm up the fourth season of ENT. "Cold Station 12" to be exact. We're getting there.

So far, this is how I'd rank the first three seasons: 1 and 3 (tied), then 2. Not exactly an earth-shattering revelation, but I agree with the consensus. Phlox and Reed are my favorite characters.
 
So do you use a standardized point system, where you give a point for story, a point for soundtrack, etc? Or do you use a different system? And why did you choose to have 1 be the rating for the best episodes?

You must be asking @NCC-73515 not me. I just go by the viewing experience. How much did I enjoy it as a viewer?

And we better hope I never judge by soundtrack. 90% of Star Trek after the fourth season of TNG would get a 5.

Here's my ratings on the same scale, I didn't bother with an average
Opinions, eh ?
I only marked TOS
My marks on the right, the quote window seems to have omitted the spacings I put in
 
So do you use a standardized point system, where you give a point for story, a point for soundtrack, etc? Or do you use a different system?
All that factors in, but it's the overall impression that matters. If everything else is great, soundtrack matters less. But for a 1, usually all factors are pretty good.

And why did you choose to have 1 be the rating for the best episodes?

Interesting. So, episodes where we disagree by two points or more (I'm not going to bother if it's just one point) and bolded if you gave it below a 5:

Season 1
The Cage
Mudd's Women
The Naked Time
Conscience of the King
Galileo Seven
Court Martial
Shore Leave
The Squire of Gothos
Tomorrow Is Yesterday
A Taste of Armageddon
This Side of Paradise
City on the Edge of Forever
Operation: Annihilate!

Season 2
Friday’s Child
Who Mourns for Adonais?
The Changeling (you liked this one better than I did)
The Apple (we really disagreed about that one!)
I, Mudd
A Private Little War
A Piece of the Action (our opinions here are basically polar opposites)
Patterns of Force

Season 3
The Enterprise Incident
The Empath
For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky
Day of the Dove
The Savage Curtain

Otherwise, it looks like we're basically on the same page two-thirds of the time.

Two thirds isn't too bad Garth
I just think Star Trek fell into a trap sometimes
Space Pirates (Mudd), I'm not a fan, although I loved Mudd in Discovery
Space Gangsters, nah I'm sorry, ludicrous
Space Nazis, see above
A lot of the episodes I may have been a little harsh on, a lot I think maybe had good story frameworks, but they kinda messed up.
But Star Trek for me is still better than all the others by several parsecs.
