I've been doing this for Stargate by reading the reviews on Gateworld.
On advantage of gateworld which this website misses is that they rate episodes both on quality, and importance to the ongoing plot. I have chosen to watch a couple of episodes which, while rated lowly (mainly because they were disappointments after buildup), are important to the ongoing plot of the show.

I agree this would be great for more shows. I think it would be even more helpful for Star Trek: The Next Generation. Lots of early season TNG is pretty bad as well. I'm watching TNG through Netflix at the moment and I'm going on AVClub to remind myself of which episodes aren't worth my time.

Once I'm a little more comfortable with React I'm going to work on making the whole thing easily forkable so anyone could do it for another show by only modifying some json. I'm thinking X-Files next.
In the case of DS9, it's funny that it pretty much matches my experience in that there are very few early episodes then when the big Dominion storyline starts it includes almost all episodes for the last 3 seasons. DS9 became such a great show once Sisko shaved his head and got the goatee. :)
