Ranking the Episodes

Being no more but also no less knowledgable than any critic writing for any major magazine or newpaper, anybody, including myself, has as valid an opinion concerning what makes a good or bad episode as anyone else. Therefore, here is how I see it regarding how every episode so far stacks up against all the others. In addition, in order to give me a little practice for my educational career, I've also given each episode a grade. By all mean, if you have the patience, make up your own list, and then feel free to argue with me about any discrepancies between our respective lists. I'll be happy to tell you why you're wrong.
