It's interesting that in raking each episode, it does work out that 1, 3 and 6 are my favorites.
In each season there are a handful of episodes I'd rank at 10, and the lowest I gave any episode was a 5. Oddly enough, I didn't rank any episode of seasons 3, 4, 5 or 8 as low as a 5. The only 5s were in 1, 2, 6 and 7. The one episode in season 1 that's only a 5 for me is No. 36 - Cousin Edgar. Didn't think much of that. The season with the most "10s" is 2, mostly towards the end, even though overall I liked three seasons better than that one. Season 2 was actually trending lower that the 8.0 but a bunch of really enjoyable episodes near the end of the season brought it way up.
I know some people have not been fans of season 6, but I find it one of the consistently stronger seasons. Lots of enjoyable episodes, especially in the first half of the season.
Season 7 was really strong for the Salem episodes, but after that most episodes ranked between 5 and 7 for me, much lower than most other seasons. "Sisters at Heart" is the exception - definitely at 10!
The one point difference between season 1 (8.3) and 8 (7.3) might not seem like much, but when you divide it over the 36 episodes in 1 or 26 in 8, it's actually quite significant.
I know we all have different tastes, but it's interesting to compare.
Thanks for reading!
