1) In my first post, I genuinely couldn't be bothered except to express my disagreement with such an exceptional rating. Then Rui's post evoked a gut response, which gave me all the energy I needed to write subsequent multi-paragraph replies. In short, I merely changed my mind on a whim.

2) Your ratings argument is pretty shaky. You never mentioned anything about rounding up or down, you just said straight out 9/10. And why are we 'assuming' you're rounding up and not down (making it 'effectively' 9.5)? Now, my review rating for the first season is 7.5, for the second season 7. Overall, the series would get a 7 from me, which is comfortably above average but clearly indicates that it's far from the absolute greatest shows like 9/10 or even 8.5/10 do.

But yeah, I think at this point our discussion's collapsing into pure number crunching. Let's stop before we hurt our valuable AUKN reputations.

3) Wait, what?? Dude, TTGL is so NOT a 10/10 show! What the hell?
