My tenth doctor ranking

2 Likes

From January 2016 - 2021, I watched all the Doctor Who episodes in order, one part a day (+special features), and scored them all out of ten. It’s all in a giant Excel file, including the spin-offs. I just recently added a column for the word count of all the Target novelisations (as if anyone cares). I’ve been working on a huge script that explains the scores, as a big video. Based on current progress, it’ll be ready about half an hour before the heat death of the universe so put that in your calendar.

What you’ll force us to watch it on loop?

this is what the revealer said to me but honestly I think I’d not put them in this order if I were asked - I’d reverse the order of Greatest Show, Time and the Rani, and Delta

This sort of this isn’t great at accurately showing my opinions, cause sometimes I like A more than B and B more than C but not A more than C

I’m not sure how if you like A more than B and B more than C that it isn’t inherently A more than C. That’s the transitive property. It’s impossible to not like A more than C at that point.

It should be as accurate as you are with answering. So if you answer honestly, according to your own thoughts, it should line up well.

These sorts of ranking engines are becoming more popular. They are effective and simple ways to rank things, but they only work if you answer honestly each time, according to what you truly prefer.

This way is how I rank all Eurovision songs every year, for instance.

Humans are full of contradictions and don’t always follow logic

Insert that one Four quote from Destiny of the Daleks

Or that Fourteen quote from Wild Blue Yonder about believing two contrasting things at the same time!

Sounds more like A, B, and C are just too close to decide more than an actual mathematical impossibility.

It’s more that what I’m qualities I’m ranking it on depends on what I’m ranking. Maybe if I had set criteria I had to abide by I’d do it more accurately

That’s the other factor, if you’re inconsistent with the way in which you rank them, this kind of algorithm can’t work. For me which one is better is pretty cut and dry, I’ll always like one more than another, even if the amount by which I do is small.
