EDIT: but yeah this is dumb

tbf the people who usually die during a cold snap are the ones who are stuck outside

All this hot and cold talk reminds me of that game show where the contestants would be put into a chamber and depending if they got questions right or wrong the temperature would change.

And with a quick search, it was actually called The Chamber

Draft ideas I just came up with:

Episodes draft- you draft single episodes of TV series. Once you pick an episode from a series, that series is off limits.

Zombie apocalypse items draft- you draft items to help you survive in a zombie apocalypse. Any item you draft will have enough supplies to be used for 3 years. If you draft a gun, you will have enough ammo to last 3 years. If you draft a flashlight, you will have enough batteries for 3 years, etc.

Movie characters draft- not sure how this would work.

Overrated bands draft- Not really a good draft since there's such a huge dropoff after the top 2 picks

I've decided I'm just going to go 1=2=3=4>5. There seems to be such an emphasis on ranking the four obvious great seasons above one another given our obsession with order. Also, the later seasons are great as they are due in part to the groundwork laid by the earlier ones.

While I think five gets too much of a bad rap around here, the lack of plausibility of the serial killer plot plus trying to rush through all the plotlines in a shortened season does deserve a penalty.

Yeah, there's a huge advantage being at the head of the draft order here.
