My attempt to rank every episode of my favorite show turned into a spreadsheet nightmare.
I thought ranking episodes would be simple, but this spreadsheet has taken over my life.

Forget spreadsheets and just watch the show you love.

Watch people fall into the spreadsheet trap every time. You start with simple columns for episode and rank, then add tabs for character arcs, guest directors, and a complex points system for cold opens. I once saw a guy who spent more time building formulas to weigh 'emotional payoff' against 'foreshadowing' than actually watching the show. The real move is a ranked list on a notes app, or even sticky notes on a wall. You can drive yourself crazy trying to make subjective taste into clean data.

My friend spent three days just picking spreadsheet colors, never watched a single episode.
