"After taking a week off for Thanksgiving, against the “Monk” series finale which broke records for a one hour cable scripted show, viewing for “Stargate Universe” dropped dramatically for the fall finale, from 1.891 million live+SD viewers on November 20, to 1.340 million on December 4.

That's apparently a .9HH rating. Now, Monk's finale had record-breaking numbers in excess of 9million people so that could have been a factor. White Collar also hit a series high with 5.5million viewers. Down in the comments, someone posted that the numbers for Sanctuary were nearly identical to SGU's, but I don't know the source for those Sanctuary numbers.

*EG* I LOLed when Young headbutted Rush and left him to rot. At least that got a reaction from me other than EW or meh.
Oh, and bad, bad timing, poor, poor planning to take a week off before the finale. Yes, that week had to be skipped, but the schedule could have been adjusted somewhere else.
