Seems a bit weak - I don't think you can really drill down onto one episode as one that 'hooks' a viewer, rather than all the subsequent episodes being excellent. At least, this article didn't convince me.

Think of the season like a funnel. What's the drop off for each episode? What's the likelihood if they've made it this far they'll watch the rest of the season?

...right, but then I'd rather see the funnel than which episode gets you to 70%, because I don't think without that context you can really say anything about the episode.

Well, that's probably because it was just the first article.
