Since Zim somehow missed this one...
I didn't miss posting the thread ViRGE, but I did miss the live airing though. :'(

Everett and the crew continue their efforts to save Destiny while holding off the Lucian Alliance invaders.
Of course, I hate the show for the mockery it makes of Stargate, so here's the real reason I'm posting this thread:
Stargate Universe (9pm)
- 1.175 million viewers
- 0.8/1 HH
- 0.5/1 A18-49
Those are the lowest viewership numbers ever for a SGU episode; and by extension should be the lowest number for any Stargate episode since the series moved from Showtime. To put things in comparison, the Warehouse 13 finale last week in the same slot had 2.448 million viewers, more than twice that of SGU.
To the credit of SGU the show just got moved from Friday to Tuesday to make room for wrestling (ugg), but it also got a very lucrative slot out of the deal by getting W13's slot. So these numbers are all about SGU.
The show is without a doubt a flop. Which is what you get when you try to ape the worst parts of BSG and focus almost entirely on the young male audience to the exclusion of all other groups.
If this show isn't canceled by the end of the first half of its second season, I will be shocked.
