Season Four -- Overall Analysis
Well, almost overall. Season four marked the institution of our standardized 10-point voiting system as of episode nine, so this information reflects episodes 9-22 of season four.
The overall seasonal rating (for this period) was 8.38, an exceptionally high ranking. The average number of voters was 12 for this period and 11 overall. The highest rated episode was "We're So Screwed II: Hot to Katratzi" with an amazing 9.67 (from 9 voters). The lowest rated episode was the unusual, perhaps experimental episode "A Prefect Murder," with 5.89 (from 9 voters).
The season really hit its stride with 416: "Bringing Home the Beacon," at which point no episode had a median/mode rating of less than 9.0, some even achieving perfect 10s (meaning 10 was the most common rating, in the latter case). Those episode were:
413: Terra Firma
419: WSS1
420: WSS2
421: WSS3
422: Bad Timing
Unfortunately, the forums weren't even formed prior to the final four episodes of season three, and those episodes were subject to a different voting system, so it is next to impossible to compare any of this data with other sets, but in general, FarScape has more than proven itself as an exceptional show.
