      🎉🎉🎉 Season 5?

      An additional idea I had was for us to rate the episodes. In each thread, I'll post a comment where you can reply with a number from 1-5. I'll then average these numbers to get a collective rating. At the end, we can have a list of our collective favourite and least favourite, episodes.

      I'm excited to discuss these episodes, see you on Friday!
