Of note: my favourite episodes of season 2 and 6 by this point only scored slightly higher than my favourite episode of season 9, whereas my least favourite episodes scored much lower at 23 and 38, respectively, compared to the 50 that bottoms out season 9's ranking. It's been a relatively safe season, but that has led to more consistent quality overall. Hoping the second half keeps it up.
