The Supernatural Season 6 Formula

[gwaevalarin]

After having seen the first 9 episodes of the season I've come to the conclusion that there is a pretty easy formula on how to make a good season 6 episode.

Every episode starts out with an average of let's say 5 quality points and can then earn or lose additional quality points as follows.
An episode gets -1 quality point for:

• every Campbell
  
• Lisa (and/or Ben)
  
• Dean staring at Lisa's number on his phone

An episode gets +1 quality point for:

• Castiel
  
• Crowley
  
• written by Ben Edlund
  
• civil war in Heaven
  
• Bobby (on screen)
  
• Balthazar
  
• Gabriel (this one is untested, of course, but I'm pretty sure it's true.

Does this formula work you ask? Let's just test it. From best to worst episode of this season according to my spn season 6 formula (tell me if I missed anything):

• 6x03 The Third Man: 5 -1 (Lisa) +4 (Cas, Bal, civil war, Ben Edlund) -> 8
  
• 6x04 Weekened at Bobby's: 5 +2 (Bobby, Crowley) -> 7
  
• 6x06 You Can't Handle The Truth: 5 -1 (Lisa) +2 (Cas, Bobby) -> 6
  
• 6x09 Clap Your Hands If You Believe: 5 +1 (Ben Edlund) -> 6
  
• 6x07 All Dogs Go To Heaven: 5 -1 (Phone) +1 (Crowley) -> 5
  
• 6x07 Family Matters: 5 -3 (Campbells) +2 (Cas, Crowley) -> 4
  
• 6x05 Live Free or Twihard: 5 -2 (Lisa, Samuel) -> 3
  
• 6x01 Exile on Main Street: 5 -6 (Lisa, 5 Campbells) +1 (Bobby) -> 0
  
• 6x01 Two and a Half Man: 5 -5 (Lisa, 4 Campbells) -> 0

I don't know about you but it works pretty well for me.
See, Sera, it's easy.
