<h2>JMS's comments on the poll:</h2> (August 31, 1995)
|
|
<p> In *general*, the P5 ratings poll tends to reflect my own opinions of the show, which is generally a good thing, I suppose.
|
|
The ones I think are knockouts tend to do well.
|
|
From time to time, I'm a bit surprised -- I still think that Parliament of Dreams is rated lower than I'd rate it, ditto for Soul Hunter and one or two others -- but what I've found is that generally the real serious episodes get rated higher, while the
|
|
lighter ones (like Geometry of Shadows, which is still something of a favorite) get rated lower.
|
|
<p> What's great is that this season [2], we haven't had one single episode on the level of War Prayer or Infection or Grail, some of our weaker first season eps.
|
|
The worst we've done is pretty darned good.
|
|
What we're now working for in year three is that they're all better than that at their baseline rating.
