For example, take a look at the season 2 finale. The episode name is not even decided yet and people already give it a 9.4!!
I highly doubt those 100 people had seen those TBA episodes already.

I think i got 3 reason why they do it.
1) read too much spoiler and just rate the episode before it's out.
2) really hate avatar and rate every episode (including TBA) a 1.0
3) a luckly someone got the episodes from the producer and got to watch the episodes early. (possible but not likely in number of hundreds of people)

Boil down
people need to stop rating show before it's out because most of them didn't even watch the episode yet!!
It make me sick to see season 2 finale got a 9.4 rating already because of retarded imbecile rating it.

If you did watch the episodes, i still think it is better off that you hold your vote until the episode is aired. You dont want to be mistaken as a random voter like 90% of the voter there.

Some peoople have been talking about Lake Laogai on TurboNick. I was curious, so I went to look. The whole episode was placed there to watch. Later I saw pooldude say that it was an accident. That's all I know about Lake Laogai.

Dude, welcome to my world! This has been a pet peeve of mine since the beginning when I took over the guide. Users should not be allowed to write a review or rate an episode before it airs once. Right now 30 PEOPLE have rated "The Earth King" and given it a 10.0. That's insane! "The Guru" has 30 votes and a 10.0 while "The Crossroads of Destiny" has a 9.4 and 29 votes. Not to mention next season's premiere, WHICH WE DON'T EVEN KNOW THE TITLE TO OR ANYTHING ABOUT IT, has 9 people who have rated it a 10.0!

People honestly should stop this. While an episode title/description may lead you to speculate, you certainly shouldn't rate/review an episode before it airs.

Oh man we had reviews for "City of Walls and Secrets" back in March. People were like "THIS IS GONNA ABSOLUTELY ROCK!!" based on a fauly IMDB summary...

I like to judge the strength of a show season by season. So, these types of ratings really annoy me.

I agree with you.
The Season Finale's called Crossroads of Destiny? I need to pay more attention to these things.
And when you mentioned that, I read it as Crossroads of Twilight, one of my favorite books by Robert Jordan. Weird, huh?
