I've emailed my Series 6 bets with the assumption that A Christmas Carol is the first episode of series 6. I own all of the boxsets, and the Christmas specials (ignoring that weird post-Season 4 pre-season 5 year) have always been the first episode of the following series. A Christmas Carol is on the first disc of "The Complete Series 6", so I've always considered it part of series 6.

For the next one, I've already sent in my guesses and I'm sticking to my guns....every guess was either an A or an F! Will this strategy work? Probably not! In fact, I expect to be mired in the middle of the pack somewhere next season! but hell, it's worth a try, eh?

It would've worked well for series 5, I think, but not so much here. I'm gonna steal this strategy though.

I'd have had it if we went by the Netflix episode ordering! :argh: Ah well, I'll still take worst overall. Next season's guesses will aim to continue the... lead? No, that's not the right word. The other one.

Just submitted my guesses for season 6. Also watching Broadchurch in the meantime, Rory is still the best no matter what show he's on

Can we get official word on the format for the season 6 guesses, which episodes we're including, does the next special count too?

It'll be interesting to see how much we're the same and where we differ this season.

little_whore said to go by the Wikipedia entry, and that's "A Christmas Carol" through REDACTED. :rolleyes: Fourteen guesses. That's what I sent in, and I didn't get any word back asking for a fix, so I'm pretty sure it's good.

The last season is honestly kind of interesting in itself. Even with the full grade range our votes were pretty similar. Only two grades more than a letter different. That A for Cold Blood was a pretty big blunder on my part, but he did say he considered it momentarily. I'm on the right:

A A
C B
D B
B B
B A
C C
A A
D D
D A
A A
B B
A B
A A

The next season is more likely to have a split, though. Judging by the last vote, if we disagree I'm probably the one who's gonna take the hit.

You basically have to close your eyes a lot while you're pressing the buttons on Netflix. Sometimes you may end up watching season 5 again by mistake, but that's okay.

Alternatively, give me a good monster hunter graphic to give Rory, like he is riding one of the monsters or holding one of the weapons made from them. I don't know the game well enough, but I bet somebody can make you a fine Rory/Monhun hybrid.

As one of numerous people who is tied for fourth and also as someone who does not understand numbers I'm pretty sure you'll find I'm next in succession.
