communication is hard
The biggest problem I've found with this project is communicating what it actually means/what it's for.
People were surprised that I said you shouldn't watch "The Daleks", because it's historically important to the series. But I'm not making this for people who want to watch every episode, or for fans. If you're one of those people, you're going to ignore my recommendations and watch everything anyway.

page design, final?
ok, I removed a lot of pointless information, changed how the colours worked and where they were. So now we have this:
page design, opinions wanted!
problem with this: I want a clear visual distinction for episodes that are missing and only have reconstructions, to make it easy for people who want to skip all of those regardless of how good they are
page design, opinions wanted!
I tried to use less saturated colours + distinguishing shades between each row, but that's even harder to read, I feel
page design, opinions wanted!
A lot of people seemed to think the colours meant something specific, that also wasn't in the text.
But it was just a correspondence thing - if the text said "yes" then it was one colour, if the text said "no" it was a different colour
Protip:
When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,
"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes
I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."
