1. The Reichenbach Fall
2. A Study in Pink
3. The Great Game
4. The Hounds of Baskerville
5. The Blind Baker
6. A Scandal in Belgravia

Is anyone figuring out which episodes end up in which position most often? Well...you know what I mean.

Maybe I should pool all the results and start keeping a record,

Reichenbach
Pink
Hound
Belgravia
Game (except the very last scene is one of my favorites of all)
Banker

1. A Study in Pink
2. Reichenbach Fall
3-5 , a three-way-tie:
       Hounds of Baskerville
       A Great Game
       A Scandal in Belgravia
6. A Blind Banker

... sometimes my emotional attachment stands on the way/ or balances/ my understanding of the quality of an episode. For example, I am quite attached to "Hounds of Baskerville", though I see its shortcomings, and the quasi-romance in "A Scandal' leaves me cold, though I acknowledge that the episode is composed superbly. Thus the tie. But even in the "Banker", the least favorite, there is much to be enjoyed.

Being the 1st and last, Pink and Reichenbach are bound to be favorites of most of the people and like somebody pointed out in the other thread that they both have a lot of similarities as well. I really enjoyed 'the chase' in both of them. Hounds of Baskerville is in the top order of my list because of its cinematography, and unusual setting. It was a kind of getaway for both Sherlock n John from the hustle and bustle of London and though they were on work, yet it seemed like they were on picnic...I liked the long drives, the splendid scenery and of course, the 'horror'. When i watched it for the first time, i was really scared during John's scene in the lab!!!
Although i didn't really understand what was happening in The great game, when i watched it for the first time, but i liked it coz of the shocking revelation of Moriarty! That was just brilliant. I didn't like Scandal much coz of the last scene, where Sherlock saved Irene's life..i think that was unnecessary.. made the whole thing appear very kiddish
They should've just shown that Sherlock can't give in to the charms of any criminal/dominatrix no matter how hard she tried. Rather, he goes all the way to Karachi to save a criminal's life and also risking his own life. That was just too filmy for the character of Sherlock i guess

2. The Reichenbach Fall
3. The Hounds Of Baskerville
4. A Study In Pink
5. The Great Game
