Greater than the sum of its parts?


The show is rated 8.7 on here, but only has two episodes out of 88 (the final two episodes) rated 8.7 or higher. Is this one of the shows where the individual episodes are lower rated because the series needs to be viewed as a cohesive whole and that's where much of its quality lies?

reply

No, apparently, there was a troll on here a while back that was down rating every episode. It was really sad.

The sum is as great as its parts.

You are sin.

Oh. What a dick.

Don't take IMDB scores so seriously.

I don't think many people rate episodes as much as they rate an entire tv series. I normally don't rate episodes and only rate the series only after watching all the episodes to date. Of course I will rate a series that is still running after each season, so my rating could go up or down.

^This. Most people don't rate individual episodes as they watch them, they just rate the show as a whole.
