Plus, I had the following criteria for the ranking listed from Day 1 of the countdown, so it wasn’t like this was out of nowhere:

Christmas spirit counts extra, so a great episode that is dark as heck will be ranked not as high as a less great episode that is festive (but, still, if an episode is great, I’ll still rank it as, well, come on, we’re still looking for quality TV here).

It’s still in the top ten. That’s pretty darn high.

I saw it yesterday and was very touched. But life CAN INDEED BE dark and it just reflects that reality. and this fact should not in itself be grounds to artificially keep it no higher than 10.
