By The Numbers
http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/04/05/stargate-universe-sgu-ratings-for-season-one-through-space/47480
This article and table make it clear that SGU's numbers are declining, slowly but steadily, with each episode. There are a few very tiny spikes, like the back half premiere, and some inexplicable troughs -- why did no one watch "Justice"? -- but overall the message is clear. Not only has this show consistently lost viewers in the 18-49 demographic, but it's lost about a million viewers total from premier to here.
But you know, the true truth of SGU can be summed up in the promo photo. You may have noticed TPTB's tired old whine about how SGU is concentrating on character development, and that was what the whole first ten eps were about and blah blah blah. Well goodie for you, caveboys.
Because I can identify Rush from the photo. I have *no* idea who Tits beside him in the skimpy top is. Now, granted, I am not a viewer. But I've seen a couple of eps, seen a lot of caps, read all the transcripts. She's being presented as if she's a major character. But who the fuck IS she?
The fact I don't know may have something to do with the downward trend on those numbers...
