I love it too, but \\\'\\\'All-Time Great doesn\\\'t equal Episode I Really Liked.\\\'\\\' I love \\\"Enlightenment\\\" and \\\"The Visitation\\\", too, but that doesn\\\'t mean I think they belong on the list of truly great greats.

Put another way: GallifreyBase runs a survey ranking the serials. The top five were: 1. Talons of Weng-Chiang; 2. Empty Child/ Doctor Dances; 3. Caves of Androzani; 4. Robots of Death; 5. Blink. Nor did any of those finish outside the top ten last year.

\\\"The Eleventh Hour\\\", as much as you and I loved it, doesn\\\'t seem poised to join them. It scored an 8.37 / 10 average on Gallifrey Base; if ranked in the same survey I mentioned above (which was released before the season 31 began), it\\\'d have placed 25th (out of about 200): a solid performer, certainly well above average, but not in the creme de la creme.

Give it time. Consensus will emerge, and once it does, it\\\'s pretty stable.

Put another way: GallifreyBase runs a survey ranking the serials. The ones in the SYWTWTN:DW all-time greats section \'\'nearly all finished in the top ten\'\'. (Rankings, if you\'re curious: 1. Talons; 2. Empty Child/ Doctor Dances; 3. Caves; 4. Robots of Death; 5. Blink.) Nor did any of those finish outside the top ten last year.
