This is an increase of three-tenths of a point (25 percent) from the February 22 episode (with one new episode between the two), and equals about 2.1 million viewers, according to USA Today.
It’s the highest ratings for Stargate Atlantis since “First Strike,” the Season Three finale. Though the series has suffered from lower “Live + Same Day” ratings this season, it has in fact retained its audience when DVR (digital video recorder) time-shifting is taken into account.
Season Four’s previous record holder was “Be All My Sins Remember’d,” with a 1.4 rating.
In “The Last Man,” Colonel Sheppard steps through the gate to find himself 48,000 years in Atlantis’s future. The ocean has turned to desert, and a holographic McKay explains that everything went terribly wrong after he left.
SCI FI Channel will announce the ratings for the previous episode, “The Kindred, Part 2,” on Monday — at which point we’ll be able to calculate the season averages and offer a full evaluation. Keep your browser locked on GateWorld!
