So, I was wondering how you all rank the various episodes of MLP. I realize it sounds ridiculous to try to actually make a whole hierarchy of episodes, but it's actually easier than it sounds. Here's how I did it: Step 1: Come up with a ranking based on letter grades like A, B, C, D, and F. Step 2: Go down the episode list on the wiki or something and assign a letter grade to each episode based on what your personal preferences are and how much you like each episode. Step 3: Split up the letter grades into +, -, and neutral, like A+, B, and C-. Step 4: Split the episodes within each letter grade category between the +, neutral, and - versions of the letter. Step 5: Now that you've split it into 13 different tiers, it should be easy to rank the episodes within each tier, and then stack the results on top of each other in order from A+ episodes down to F episodes. This is the result of when I did this myself: May the Best Pet Win!
