I have come to the conclusion that having only two ratings, either Watch or Pass doesn’t cover the spectrum enough. And at the same time, giving each episode a numerical or alphabetical rating really can’t create a distinctive enough difference between each episode. Does giving a show one week a B and the next a B- really make a difference? So I have opted to add a middle ground for my current reviewing. Watch is for anyone, fan or not, for that week’s episode. A watch denotes that the episode is good enough to stand on its own. Next rating is Fans Only, which should only be for fans of the show. This rating is for episodes that don’t aspire for greatness, but don’t fall into the vast pit of boredom that pass shows get. Sometimes this rating can butt against pass, but doesn’t grind on my nerves. Finally, there is Pass, which is the final rating. This is reserved for episodes that serve no real purpose what so ever and only send any progress made in the show backwards or stall for so long that it becomes daunting.
