This makes me very curious just how unimpressive something has to be for them to pitch it in the first inch or so. I could understand if it was simply terrible and irredeemable, a la my rom-com analogy, above. However, I've experienced

I don't know if anything with a mediocre first third could end up in a 'best of' running, but it certainly does call their entire review methodology and scores, 'best of' or otherwise, into question.
