7	Divide the number of times you said or thought, '''"Holy Shit!"'''[[note]]Or any other shocked exclamation[[/note]] by the number of scenes. This is the Holy Shit Quotient (or HSQ) for a given episode. The term originated somewhere among the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' (Website/BuffistasOrg, most likely) and Website/TelevisionWithoutPity communities, where it is occasionally still possible to get a nice little FlameWar going over whether or not "HSQ" is pronounced "aitch-skew."
8
9	It is sometimes shortened to form the verb "skew." As in: "The episode skewed me to the chair."
10
11	{{Wham Episode}}s tend to have a high HSQ, as do ProfessionalWrestling matches involving {{Spot Monkey}}s. This is in fact a common chant at pro wrestling events when something like that happens. HeavyMetal and VisualKei bands try to have at least a moderate one of these per promotional video and/or concert, though it often ends up as {{Narm}} if failed. Obviously, that's a matter of opinion.
12
13	HSQ-raising moments are ShockingMoments. Anything that has SerialEscalation somehow is guaranteed to have a high HSQ. When writers try to increase the HSQ of a scene that doesn't have punch by having the characters (or camera work) ''pretend'' it does, they often wind up using MundaneMadeAwesome.
