Useful idea for long shows with many episodes.

I'd be interested in a version of this for TNG as well. My wife recently expressed interest in running through TNG on Netflix, but there's several fairly bad episodes and a lot…
jerf on HNThis is a cool idea. I'd like to see it for more shows. With so many shows available on Netflix/Amazon/etc. it's hard to figure out what I should watch when a show has hundreds…
MattGrommes on HNThis is great for the less popular star treks... got one for Voyager, too?

Fun to fork or extend to other shows.

Once I'm a little more comfortable with React I'm going to work on making the whole thing easily forkable so anyone could do it for another show by only modifying some json. I'm…

Objections
Skipping episodes breaks DS9's story arcs; watch everything.
From 3 comments

Show skipped episodes and tag by character or theme.

Cool idea. A helpful next feature would be to somehow show the skipped episodes so the user could take some action to peek at the synopsis and rating to see if they really wanted…

Questions
Does Netflix two-part episode numbering match the guide?
From 1 comment
Thanks! I was looking for a new show to binge-watch on Netflix. I wanted to point out that (after just now checking) Netflix isn't consistent with their two-part show listings as…

Graph TV episode ratings charts.
From 2 comments
The Graph TV for DS9 might accomplish a similar goal, just using a different ratings dataset (IMDB) and visualization. http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0106145
gwy on HN> The problem with TNG is that it didn't necessarily get better in linear fashion, the way one could argue that DS9 got better as it "found its voice" and established a…
