highest rated season finales REJECTS
by OsirisWolf | created - 21 Jun 2012 | updated - 27 May 2013 | PublicEpisodes that are missing one or more criteria to be on my Highest Rated Season Finale list (usually either missing a ranking of 9.0+ or 100 votes per episode).
I am sure there are plenty of episodes that I am unaware of, so feel free to give your input for shows that I should keep an eye on. Keep in mind that in order to make it to my main list the series must have a rating of 7.0 or higher and at least 5,000 votes. Thanks!
