Sometimes you own the libs. Sometimes, the libs own you.

Psst, all -

I don't think the Episode reviews on the left hand side of the site are entirely representative of general browncoat opinion, and certainly they are not accurate.

I only just noticed myself that I could cast my vote - can I ask everyone else to help me score down 'Shindig' and 'The Message' and elevate 'Out of Gas'?

Hehe I am somewhat in jest here, but seriously, relatively few have scored any of the episodes. I can't bear to see 'The Message' top scoring on 9.33. What if someone visited this site purely to find out the fans' favourite episode to download and watch.

Won't anyone think of the children?

Join the crusade folks!

'The Message' is now at 9.17 - that's still offensively high compared to OoG at 8.98.

Yeah, I've heard a lot of people say they love the message, but also many saying they think it's one of the weaker episodes.

I don't hate it myself (gave it a 7) I just think the ratings are not representative since only 17 people have scored it!

My vendetta against it will cease as soon as OoG overtakes it.

kpo, thinking only of the children.

I have to admit that the Message was the first episode I ever saw (on the scifi channel) and it failed to really hold my attention. It took Heart of Gold to inspire me to buy the series.

Now I just love all the episodes!

I find it impossible to rate the episodes since I enjoy all of them. I will say I have a strong preference for "War Stories" and "Serenity" which I think are the exceptional of an exceptional show, but as for the other eps...there's little things about each one that I love. But, good luck on your campaign.

They ARE the general browncoat opinion whether you like it or not. Matter of taste anyway, there is no "right" or "wrong".

Hey! How come you can be so absolute and I can't?

As for why I disagree, I think the fact that The Message has such a small sample of voters means that the only people who reviewed it are those who especially liked it - as tends to be the case with voluntarily rated things on the internet.

I must've come across about half a dozen people who cited this episode as their least favourite, and if just these 6 bothered to review with a score of 6 each then we'd see the rating plummet to about 8.4

Because I can read? The reviews are the way they are.

Actually the Message was one of my favorites. However, I would imagine Out of Gas to be higher than it is. Heart of Gold seems low to me as well. To agree with CBY though, it is what it is. That's the average of the Browncoats that have voiced their opinion.
Make sure you put a review on there if you disagree. Don't just give an episode a 1 just becuase you want the scale to shift. Just be honest. As far as newcomers seeing it, it seems best to start at the beginning. If they don't give it a fair shot after seeing one episode that may not be the best, I suppose they'd never really give it a shot. If someone would start with the best then the other episodes would seem lower quality.

Well in the case of the ratings for Out of Gas there is compelling evidence that the rating does not reflect the general browncoat opinion. 3 reviews posted on the same day with ratings of 0. Further the blurbs provided with the reviews suggest that the reviewer found some redeaming qualities and would have, if honestly ranking, given the episode at least a 5 or 6. This to me suggests pranksterism and calls into question that shows ranking at the very least.

David makes a good point above, and CBY is pretty off base. Picking a best episode is subjective, but if CBY has actually used his touted ability to read this board with any regularity, he would know that Out of Gas is, in fact, the episode the most folks talk about here as the best episode, regardless of the numbers in the rating box.

Certainly the three "0" ratings are absurd.

My careful reading of this site,combined with my faulty memory, would rank fan approval in this order - Out of Gas, Serenity, Objects in Space, The Message, and Ariel as the winners of best episode. There are many who really like Jaynestown, War Stories and Our Mrs Reynolds. Heart of Gold has been often hailed as the worst, along with Safe - but Heart of Gold has been getting alot of love lately.

Just for a bias check - My favorites are War Stories, Serenity and Out of Gas. Did not like the Message and Heart of Gold much.

See how I'm not punching him, I think I've grown!

Could you do me a favour and do a quick review for the Message? One more less than glowing review and OoG could overtake it.

We're almost home. Soon I can start a new crusade of some sort - War Stories is a bit low...
