    Really, unless you are going out to roast the episodes I would suggest keeping it simple.

    Don't use lots of criteria - keep it simple and score the episode on a set of general criteria (eg: Story, Character, Technical (writing, effects), Lore (how well it fits in the wider TNG/TOS viewpoint) and Overall).

    So, something like:

    Episode: (pilot, S1E1 or however you wish to label them)
    Title: (Obvious)

    Plot:
    (Quick plot summary)

    Reaction:
    (How you feel about it. If important, how you marked it)

    Scores:
    • X/5 - Story
    • X/5 - Character
    • X/5 - Technical
    • X/5 - Lore
    • X/5 - Overall
    For scoring, I suggest that you keep the score ranges small - 5 is usually a good one:

    1 - Bad episode: Multiple weaknesses (bad acting, bad story, disasterous effects, poor connection to lore)
    2 - Poor episode: Not too bad but has one or two week areas (Poor plot, weak character use, bad effects)
    3 - Average episode: OK to watch, but nothing amazing. This should be the default score.
    4 - Good episode: A few parts of the episode are above average - good plot points, clever use of effects and so on.
    5 - Excelent episode: Episode excels in most or all ways - major character development, good story and so on

    This covers most of the basis - Trying to score out of 10 becomes cumbersome because there are too many choices; scoring out of three can work, but it is a little tight.

    If you want, optionally stick a short comment after a score iff you need to clarify why you gave that score.
