The sixth episode of Stargate Atlantis Season Five stayed even with the previous week. “The Shrine” earned a 1.2 average household rating for the SCI FI Channel when it premiered on August 22, the network announced this week.

This ties “Ghost In the Machine”, and is just one-tenth of a point below the season-high rating of 1.3 earned by “Search and Rescue” and “The Daedalus Variations”. The new season has remained more steady than usual in the ratings game, and typically makes great gains later in the week from DVR viewing.

Also on SCI FI’s list of top shows for the week were Eureka, with a 1.8 rating, Ghost Hunters International (1.6), and ECW wrestling (1.5).

Another all-new episode of Stargate Atlantis airs this Friday on SCI FI in the United States! Tune in for “The Queen” at 10 p.m. (9 Central).
