The episode earned a 1.2 average household rating on Friday, February 22. Although this is a drop of one-tenth of a point from the previous week, it is above average for Season Four.
The episode saw the return of the Wraith Michael, as well as Teyla’s hunt for her people, the Athosians.
Atlantis remains the SCI FI Channel’s highest-rated original dramatic series, behind the reality series Ghost Hunters International (1.3) and ECW wrestling (which took an unusual first place with a 1.4 rating).
Ratings for the final two episodes of the season will be released in the next two weeks. We’ll have a wrap-up of the entire season’s performance later this month!
The season premiere, “Adrift,” will reair this Friday at 10 p.m. (9 Central) on SCI FI! Season Five premieres in July in the United States.
