Am I correct in saying your ranking method is 1, then down to the number of episodes in the season?

You amaze me.  There's no way I could do this, because of deciding among my favorites.

The reason I don't, is that I really have trouble deciding on  a ranking for the episodes past my few favorites.  

1 Last two of season 2

After that, I can't rank them. I can't decide if I like Beware of Dog better than The episode where the Old Man gets killed, or if I like  Midnight of the Century better than Beware of the Dog...

Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense is a favorite,  but it's kind of a stand alone for me. I can't rank it at all/

Force Majeure competes with  Midnight of the Century and  Beware of the Dog too.

13 Years Later is a stand alone favorite.. It competes with  Somehow Satan Got Behind me, but both rank behind  Jose Chung.  All three of those episodes I put outside the   competition, as they are  tension relievers and   in a category of their own.

Skull And bones competes with  Goodbye To All That 

 

On the flip side, I can't decide which episodes  would be my least favorite either.  There are a lot of them I don't like, more than ones I like... The only one I know is  the last of the last is the Loin one... Second to last might be Goodbye Charlie. Not sure.  I really didn't like th eone about the kid visiting the  funerals either.  

 

And where do I put the Pilot?  I loved parts of it.  Hated parts of it.   But it is THE episode that introduces us to the Black family.    

 

I may work on it, if ever I get the chores caught up around here.  My lazy nature says that might not happen, but if it does, I'll surely share!

Great lists and evaluation. In series one, I would probably have put Dead Letters right at the bottom; though. It’s to me, an episode which could almost be from any detective series. And, a pedestrian one; compared with the high standard of other episodes. I’m also pleased, that you seem to recognise the greatness of Skull & Bones. When re-watching all three series (which I do regularly), that episode almost always brings a few tears; to my eyes. Usually, I tear-up at about when that perfectly apt song starts playing; “Love Hurts” (as Emma moves aghast amongst those grisly relics of murder in the workshop!). Another episode of particular emotional resonance, for me; is the one in which that young fellow gets lost in the beautiful Alaskan wilderness (whilst trying to find himself as part of his journey of discovery) (offhand I don’t remember which series that one’s from). All the best, and please post when you can..!
