"If you're gonna compare a Hanzo sword, you compare it to every other sword ever made... that wasn't made by Hattori Hanzo." - Budd, Kill Bill Vol. 2
So the other day on OfficeTally they started OfficeTally Survivor Poll: Season 2. Now, as with the previous Survivor Polls for Seasons 1 and 3, I intend to vote on each elimination. The only problem is I have no idea how I'm going to vote.
As I've said many times before, I think Season 2 of The Office (US) is one of the best seasons of any show ever. The consistency of the episodes is phenomenal, as every single individual episode is jam packed with many hilarious moments. And taken together as a whole, the season is simply a remarkable achievement.
I've long considered my favorite episode of the season to be The Secret, and my least favorite episode of the season to be The Carpet (which is still very good). Beyond that, though, I've never taken much time before to consider my order of liking for the rest.
A couple days ago I tried to separate them into 3 tiers, top, middle, and bottom. This didn't work, and I knew I'd have to try something else to get this figured out.
So yesterday I took the always enjoyable step of rewatching all 22 episodes, and if anything, ranking them is going to be even more difficult now.
I've watched all the Season 2 episodes at least a dozen times, and enjoyed them every time. But it takes something away when in the back of your mind you know that when you get done you're going to have to rank them.
After much deliberation I eventually managed to come up to the following list. I'll probably change my mind as soon as I post it, but I'd go crazy if I updated it every time I changed my time so I won't even try.
1. The Secret
2. Casino Night
3. Conflict Resolution
4. The Injury
5. Halloween
6. Email Surveillance
7. Drug Testing
8. Booze Cruise
9. Office Olympics
10. Christmas Party
11. The Dundies
12. The Client
13. The Fight
14. The Fire
15. Sexual Harassment
16. Performance Review
17. Michael's Birthday
18. Valentine's Day
19. Dwight's Speech
20. Boys and Girls
21. Take Your Daughter to Work Day
22. The Carpet
Edit (2/26/08): I have broken my word and have rearranged my list slightly, to the following:
1. The Secret
2. Casino Night
3. Halloween
