The top 3 are at least fair in placement, but the top two poorly justified. 400 Boys reminded me of Season 1’s Zima Blue, one of my all time favourite episodes in of visual presentation and storytelling albeit not quite as good as it lacked the novelty that came with the latter. I appreciate the acknowledgement that little separates the top two, although personally I think How Zeke Got Religion is the stand-out episode of the season but I don’t understand how  “It's rare that we see the sci-fi show lean into religious elements” when three of the ten episodes of this season do exactly that. Spider Rose is indeed a close second and to describe it as peak Love, Death and Robots is spot on, however to say death is not as prominent is what lead me to my opening remark - her husband, her friends, the antagonist and his clones as well as herself all die. Death competes with love for the most prominent of themes in the first episode of the season to actually feel like something from the LDR universe. In summary:

10. Smart Appliances, Stupid Owners

9. Can’t Stop

8. Golgotha

7. Close Encounter of the Mini Kind

6. The Screaming of the Tyrannosaur

5. The Other Large Thing

4. For He Can Creep

3. 400 Boys

2. Spider Rose 

1. How Zeke Got Religion

Respectfully, did the author of this watch the season at 2:30 in the morning like me and write the review immediately without proof-reading? Because there are errors and contradictions throughout. Golgotha isn't a highlight, the message is contrived and preachy but it certainly doesn't deserve last place. Close Encounters of the Mini Kind is a fine call back to the previous "Mini Kind" episode from season 3 and isn't the second time season 4 uses an alien invasion premise, it's the first - the writer seems to have conflated his order of ranking with the order of episodes. Can't Stop deserves to be lower in a close race for 9th or 10th - it looked like AI slop masquerading as a music video and featured a distinct lack of Love, Death or Robots with the exception of a single burning crowd member. The Screaming of the Tyrannosaur is a forgettable middle of the list episode and probably the most appropriately placed. The Other Large Thing is actually the funniest episode of the season, it makes no sense whatsoever to call it "one of season 4's stronger outings." and rank it in the bottom half of the list. The author must not be familiar with LDR because cats have been a prominent recurring theme since at least season 3, probably because the producers are millennial websurfers from the age of I Can Haz Cheezburger. That being said the praise given to For He Can Creep is deserved and the visuals are some of the best in S4, reminiscent of dynamic fantasy anime and deserves 4th over the most offensive ranking of the list and the reason I'm writing this. Smart Appliances, Stupid Owners is by far the WORST episode of the season and maybe even the series in its entirety. I understand that humor is subjective but to say this episode is "by far its funniest" is an insult to anyone with a funny bone more developed than an 8th grader. In the nicest way possible, the bumbling dinguses from The Other Large Thing strike me as the target audience for the 'jokes'.
