We’ve rated episodes with threads like [THREAD=142236]Hurt/Heal[/THREAD] and [THREAD=148175]top[/THREAD] [THREAD=147974]episode[/THREAD] [THREAD=147383]lists[/THREAD].
This is intended to be the ultimate TOS episode ratings thread. You rate all the episodes (or all the episodes you want to) and post your ratings in this thread. When we have enough participants, they’ll be analyzed with the Shulze method to produce a communal ranking.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Post your ballot in this thread. Each line of your ballot consists of a score followed by an episode title. Scores range from a low of 1 (the worst episodes) to whatever top score you choose. The only information taken from your ballot is relative preferences, so use whatever scale is most comfortable for you.
If there is an episode that you have not seen or on which you do not have an opinion, you may either leave it out of your ballot or use a dash (-) for the score.
Example #1:
Alice has seen ten episodes of TOS. She chooses a 3-point scale where 3 is good, 2 is average, and 1 is poor. Her ballot looks like this:
Example #2:
Bob has seen ten episodes. He chooses a top score of 100 and gives a complete ranking with this ballot:
Example #3:

Include the line “truncate” for a truncated ballot. Episodes not on the ballot are scored below episodes on the ballot.
Example #4:
David has seen the whole series but just knows his favorites:
Simple as that!
You may replace your ballot at any time if you change your mind, want to rate episodes that you had not previously rated, or want to change your ballot for any reason. To do so, simply post your new ballot. Please don’t go back and edit old ballots, because the edits may go unnoticed and the changes uncounted.

Rating 79 episodes is naturally going to take more time than picking a top 10. Take all the time you need. There’s no deadline. I’ll update results on a regular basis as long as ballots keep coming in.
