Babylon 5 Poll Results |
The poll data are received and compiled by Mike Hopkins, a.k.a. mike100000@delphi.com and are distributed via Usenet and the Babylon 5 Review Forum, B5-REVIEW-L@cornell.edu.
For comparison, the results of a recent Babblings episode poll can be found here.
Note that the owner of the poll, Mike Hopkins, now keeps both the most recent results (broken link?) and a current all-episodes summary on-line.
The first set of results, from 2 December 1998, is a grand overview of the votes for the whole series (5 seasons, the pilot, and 3 TNT TV movies) following the end of season 5 in the US. These stats give a wider ranging look at the voting that most. Following this set are firstly voting instructions, and then previous historical sets of results going back in time.
Since late 1993, I have conducted of net fandom <*>
for B5 called Poll 5. Now that the series has
aired in its entirety except for one produced movie,
it is time take a look at some stats current as of
Nov. 29 when the results of "Sleeping in Light" were
posted. A total 2403 people have submitted 32247
valid votes for 114 episodes and movies.
First we will look at some total average and then list
the results for each episode. I will also list
episodes which got Hugo nominations/honorable mentions
and give voting instructions.
This summary is bound to be controversial....

What does the above mean? The mean is simply another word for
average. The standard deviation is simply a measure of
how spread out the votes are. (The missing standard deviation
for the first row is simply a reflection that if there is
only one point, the standard deviation is undefined.)
The first two columns summarize the average episode scores, while
the last three columns summarize the votes regardless to what
episode is was for. The fact that "8.81" appears four times
is a coincidence, I figured those figures independently of the
program which generated the above table and got the same results.
Season five in spite of lackluster start did not do anywhere as
badly as some might have expected: rating between what seasons two
and three did. Many people saying that S5 was so disappointing
in net forums. And certainly many people said so with their
votes -- I don't recall anyone telling me off hand that S5 was
a doing well. So what is the discrepancy? Well one might note
that from "Darkness Ascending" forward every episode had a higher
score than all the episode before DA. This should suggest
something. If told the computer to break down season five into
episodes with Byron and episodes which he did not appear. There
is a huge difference in the numbers for the two sets of data.
The episodes with Byron did very poorly--only season one under
performed them--while the average of episodes without that
character was better than the average for any of the seasons.
The voters clearly did not like that character.
The episodes during the Shadow War, not unexpectedly, did very
well. That the episode for Sheridan's campaign to take back
Earth did as well did surprise me a bit.
============================================================================
Here is the list of all the episodes. If you only care about the
actual P5 score just look at the mean and rank. As for the other
stats, the Median is good at if you think the high or low voters
are being too extreme. The low and high votes should be self
explanatory. Voted 8 or higher is just that, it is simply to
percent of voters who voted 8.00 or higher. Since not every
voter votes for every episode, there is concern that certain episodes
might have voters who on average vote higher. This is one reason
for the last statistic. For voters who have at least five vote,
that statistic is percent of voters who voted higher than they
do on average.
More statistics, voting lists, and a version of this list sorted
by rank can be found at
http://people.delphi.com/mike100000/p5summary.html
This site will be periodically updated as more votes come in.
The top episode, bar none, is "Severed Dreams." The worst
is "Infection."

Results up to Nov. 1, 1998
I have several comments. If you don't care for
the comments of us dullard administrators just
scroll down... :-)
Adminstrative Note: We are coming up with a first
for B5: A week with two new episodes or more
precisely a new episode and a new movie. So
I plan to do "The Wheel of Fire" results at
the normal schedule (i.e. Nov. 8) and "River
of Souls" sometime mid-week depending on my
convenience and a check of when TNT reruns it.
Well the current episode, "The Fall of Centauri Prime"
has done fairly respectively for the poll. This
results from this poll have reflected the common
opinion that season five is not up to what has
come before. But more recent episodes have had
a dramatic change. By no means are we seeing poll
results like was generated in the second half of
season three and early season four, but turnabout
in poll results has been fairly unmistakable.
The current episode is the second favorite episode
of season five. The last four episodes are the
four favorite episodes of the season. "Darkness Ascending"
is #32, AAMD,TA is at #19, MoFaS is at #6, and
TFoCP is #14 for the series (#4, #3, #1, and #2
for the season).
Results - "The Fall of Centauri Prime"

And now the full stats for all the episodes up to the Summer break in the US in season 4 in 1997 (at about the last point that B5 aired regularly on PTEN before moving to TNT):
Episodes are listed in the order which they originally aired in the United
States. The change of seasons are marked. "Severed Dreams" has the highest
average and hense the rank of 1 out of 85 shows. The mean is just another
word for average. The standard deviation is a measure of how spread out
the voting is. The more spread out, the higher the standard deviation.
The median means is what you get if you sort the votes from lowest to highest
and took the very middle value (or the average of the two middle values in
the case of even number of votes). This is a good stat to look at if you think
an episode's average has been skewed by a few voters voting well above or below
the rest of the voters. Voted 8 or higher is simply the percent
of voters who voted 8.00 or greater. Voted Above Mean is something that
I have only recently started doing. I take the voters for a particular episode
which voted 5 or more times, and figure out what percent of them voted above
their own personal voting averages.

Following are summary results from 19th April 97, just before the third batch of season 4 aired in the US, giving updated comparative results for all the episodes aired to that date, from all seasons up to "Atonement" in season 4.
It's interesting to note that both "Severed Dreams" and "Z'ha'dum" have now edged ahead of "The Coming of Shadows". "Severed Dreams" is hoped to follow in "The Coming of Shadow"'s footsteps to win a Hugo award.
This series summary includes all votes received by Friday April 18, 1997.

With the premiering of the Final Five episodes of season 3 on UK TV, we again got the chance to set an initial tone for the B5 Poll results for these episodes. These figures from 23 September 96 give third season results up to the end of the season, though "Z'Ha'Dum" and "Shadow Dancing" especially had relatively few votes cast at that time.
"Grey 17.." has not been too popular so far - "Z'Ha'Dum" and "Shadow Dancing" have!
Well if the UK results of this poll are any indication,
we Americans can expect the final five episodes of
season three to start with two so-so at best
episodes followed by three of the best episodes
B5 has produced. Ignoring "Z'ha'dum" (9.95) which at four
votes in is a bit early to tell for sure, "Shadow
Dancing" is behind only "Severed Dreams" (9.81) and the
Hugo winning "The Coming of Shadows" (9.62).

The following results from 25th June 96 summarise all the results of seasons 1, 2 and 3 so far broadcast in the US. The US were currently on a break - the last episode shown was after "War Without End Part II"..
This post is the series summary of the Poll 5, a poll for Babylon 5. Please
note that VOTING INSTRUCTIONS ARE AT THE END OF THIS POST. [ed: removed]The
episodes are listed in the order that they orginally aired in the United
States, starting with the pilot. For space reasons, some of the episode names
have been shortened in ways I hope are obvious. Some quick explanations for
anyone afraid of math: Mean and average are the exact samething. The rank is
based on the means. The rest of the data gives an idea of how the voting was
distributed. The standard devation is a measure of spread of the votes. The
more spread out the votes are, the higher the SD. The median is the middle
vote. For example, the median of 1, 9, 5678 is 9. The change of seasons are
marked.

ELIMINATING LOW-TURNOUT VOTERS (Bonus for statistical junkies)
It could be argued that the reason why the the scores tend to
get better over time is that people started watching the show,
voted, but quit watching, and hense the score would tend to
be inflated. Also, it could be that a person who votes only
once would vote differently than the die hard who voted for
every single episode. Finally from experience, I notice that
the better episodes get more vote especially from the one-timers.
This is especially the case for "Severed Dreams." So I did
did some work and here are the results. Oddly enough, the
people who voted every time voted lower on average. Let
look at what an average episode would look like for several
cases:
