The Mantis-Eye Experiment

Five Years: Historic Episode Scores

Back in August 2006 I introduced the ability for users to rate episodes on a scale of one through five. Since the site has no user accounts this was always done in a fairly rudimentary way based entirely on IP address. So while these scores are by no means definitive, they do still have some merit and I think are overall an interesting look at which episodes are popular with people who visit this site at the very least.

For Five Years of Mantis-Eye I wanted to do something with these scores, and this is what I came up with. From the depths of the database I pulled historical score data for 2007 through the end of 2009. Each list is a snapshot of the top fifteen episodes at the end of that month including the score down to thousandths of a percent just so you can see how close some of them can be.
