SG1 Best Episode Tournament - Seasons 1 through 7 overall

[Katerine]

Round 10 is done, the votes are tallied

Capt. Voronokova: You're welcome It's been really interesting so far seeing how the seasons compare. In answer to your question, the "6 or more votes" tally is just for this round, but the "Season Rankings" list is overall. I tried to make the rankings also be just for the round, but it just wasn't possible to do that and also have the results be accurate.

Apologies, as always, to the following people who didn't have their votes counted:
Qtyled: Sorry, Politics went away in round 7. The others were good, but that one disqualified it.

And here are the results:
(2.04) The Gamekeeper - 14

The Gamekeeper is out.

And in case anybody is curious, here are the season overall standings:

Number of episodes per season with 6 or more votes:
Season 1 : 1 / 19 episodes
Season 2 : 6 / 21 episodes
Season 3 : 2 / 22 episodes
Season 4 : 1 / 22 episodes
Season 5 : 2 / 22 episodes
Season 6 : 4 / 20 episodes
Season 7 : 3 / 19 episodes


Overall Season Rankings (listed best to worst) (I've finally figured out an accurate way to do this. Took 5 layered queries, but it's done. It's overall, though, not per round, but it'll give an idea how the rankings change over time. The number indicated is avg #votes/episode/round. It does take eliminations into account.)
5 - 1.332
4 - 1.555
3 - 1.686
6 - 3.085
1 - 3.135
2 - 3.350
7 - 3.461


That's it! Now, everybody vote again for the next round! (Initial post with current standings and episodes remaining)

My votes and opinions:
The Other Guys (Is still not dead. I want to see it die. I want it to suffer as it does so. Actually, what I want is for it to have never existed.)
Avenger 2.0
Demons
Red Sky
Metamorphosis
Beneath the Surface
The First Commandment
Message in a Bottle

Kind of sad that The Gamekeeper was voted out so early. I'd ranked it 46th best. Interesting idea, emotionally evocative, and good character development for Daniel (and oddly enough, Sam)... less so for Jack, though.
Oh well. Had to happen sometime (that something I liked got voted out IMO before its time, I mean). At least it wasn't something I really, really liked, like WoO or Exodus or Absolute Power or anything...

I wonder if Katerine doesn't like "The Other Guys" ...

Hi guys,

Just FYI, I'm changing the season tallies again. Each time I hope to make it more accurate.

So...

The new season rankings (cumulative from rounds 1-10) are as follows:
5 - 3.301%
4 - 3.845%
3 - 4.110%
1 - 7.098%
6 - 7.490%
7 - 8.167%
2 - 8.220%

What is this percentage, you ask?

Well...

Up until now, the tally was an average per episode of how many votes that episode got in any given round, up until it got eliminated (if it had been).
So, for example:

• Emancipation had an average of 22.000 (it got 22 votes in the first round, when it was eliminated).
• Politics had an average of 12.2857142857 (average of 12, 11, 10, 11, 11, 12, and 19. Then it was eliminated).
• Lifeboat had an average of 2.2 (average of 5, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 3, 5, and 4.)
• Children of the Gods had an average of 0.3 (average of 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, and 0.)
• Window of Opportunity had an average of 0 (average of 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, and 0.)

Then I averaged those episode averages to get the season averages.

What's wrong with that, you ask? And the answer is that not the same numbers of people vote in any given round. Round 1 had 55 valid posts in it. Round 4 only had 35. This skews the averages, so that eps that were eliminated before round 4 got much higher averages, and eps in later rounds would also get much higher averages, since the number of participants is growing again.

So now, the above list is done in the following way:

• Emancipation had an average of 40% (22 votes / 55 participants in round 1, then it was eliminated).
• Politics had an average of 30.337% (average of 12/55, 11/43, 10/38, 11/35, 11/38, 12/39, and 19/40. Then it was eliminated).
• Lifeboat had an average of 5.087% (average of 5/55, 2/43, 1/38, 0/35, 0/38, 0/39, 2/40, 3/37, 5/43, and 4/41.)
• Children of the Gods had an average of 0.678% (average of 1/55, 1/43, 1/38, 0/35, 0/38, 0/39, 0/40, 0/37, 0/43, and 0/41.)
• Window of Opportunity had an average of 0% (average of 0/55, 0/43, 0/38, 0/35, 0/38, 0/39, 0/40, 0/37, 0/43, and 0/41.)

Then I average those to get the season averages.

Sorry about any confusion that my constantly changing things has caused. I think this will be the last time. I'm rather happy with the accuracy of this version.

That's all. Continue on
