‘Midway’ scores ratings boost

The fourth season of Stargate Atlantis saved some of its best for last, as “Midway” scored the best rating since January’s “Be All My Sins Remember’d” (which earned a 1.4). The seventeenth episode of the season earned a 1.3 average household rating, according to Sci Fi Wire.

This is an increase of two-tenths of a point from the previous week’s episode, and the second-best of the season so far.

“Midway” guest starred Stargate SG-1‘s Christopher Judge as Teal’c, who is invited to Atlantis to coach Ronon before his review by the I.O.A. On route back to Earth, the two become the last line of defense when the Wraith successfully invade the Midway station and reach Earth.

Atlantis was SCI FI Channel’s highest-rated original drama once again for the week of February 11. Ghost Hunters International topped the cable network’s ratings chart with a 1.5, followed by ECW wrestling with a 1.3.

Don’t miss the season finale of Stargate Atlantis this week! “The Last Man” premieres Friday, March 7 at 10 p.m. (9 Central) on SCI FI. Sky One in the United Kingdom will air the episode on Tuesday, March 11 at 8 p.m.
