I had to think about this one. It took so much work to think about it that I came up with a script to help me figure it out.
my $EHH = 0; # A constant indicating indifference.
my $best_time = 0;
my $favorite = "";
my @episodes = what_were_the_names_again();
foreach my $movie (@episodes) {
next unless (released($movie));
%scenes = watch($movie);
my $opinion = $scenes{"fun"} +
$scenes{"cool"} -
$scenes{"awkward"} -
$scenes{"midochlorians mentioned"};
if ($opinion > $best_time) {
$favorite = $movie;
$best_time = $opinion;
}
# Present a quick recap of how I felt about this episode.
if ($opinion > $EHH) {
print "$movie was pretty good.\n";
}
elsif ($opinion == $EHH) {
print "$movie was okay.\n";
}
else {
print "$movie kinda sucked.\n";
}
}
print "My favorite would have to be $favorite.\n";
I'd have to say Episode 4 was my favorite according to this logic, but a more refined approach to calculating $opinion would be in order. For example, this calculation completely ignores appearances by my favorite cranky green muppet (besides Kermit).
Oh, man. I worry about myself sometimes.
Update: Updated the commentary to match the code. Whoops.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
