Stargate Universe ratings steady with ‘Malice’

View Comments

• 1.025 million viewers LOOOL SG1 or SGA had allways more...

• @arnoldrimmer Thanks, Captain Obvious! I didn't know that.

• geesh. how can a show expect to survive if they analyze every minute up and down turn of viewings every second of everytime an episode airs? so 100 more people watched one week, or 200 less another. Maybe some people had to take their kids to soccer or karate or something. Micromanagement never works.

• The ratings trend this season is obvious and it's flat. The real point is that this was supposed to be the big one in the "front half". US on-location filming, improved in consideration of Stargate fan's expectations, and to be a big ratings success leading up to the break.

  I think what's become obvious no matter what you think of the show is that it is sitting at a point where it is relying on established viewers and is not bringing in any more eyeballs no matter how you want to spin the stats. Remember there were some pretty high profile chat about how this was to be a major episode. Clearly that hasn't panned out in attracting new viewers.

  Draw your own conclusions about a season 3 happening.

• ^"Visitation" is the episode that profits from "Malice". People aren't psychic, and most don't read spoilers.

• @ Evilslayer: True. It's usually the episode after a good one that sees a ratingsrise, and the one after a bad one that will have lower ratings as people tune out again for the next one. We'll have to see the fallout of Malice on the ratings next week.

  I'm starting to think that's the quality of the show isn't even having such a bearing on the ratings anymore. Season 1 gave an impression, a bad impression to many, so those viewers wandered off. I found Malice and almost the entirety of season 2 so far absolutely amazing but a shift in quality in the second season usually doesn't help you if people didn't like the first. Some bad decisions were made and IMHO the creators were a bit too confident in their show.

• That are really good ratings for NCIS LA! I really like this series. It is not as successful as NCIS, but with these ratings it will still have a long life. :-)

  And it is nice to see that Sanctuary gained a lot of viewers. Last week Sanctuary got a series low with 1.257 million viewers. And this week they gained over 300,000 viewers. Now that is a nice uptick! :-)

• >> Season 1 gave an impression

  It's not about seasons, it's about characters that no one can relate to.

  The personalities of the characters aboard 'Destiny' range from pathologically negative to outright clinically insane.

  When you don't have a character you identify with / look up to / like on an emotional level, you just don't come back.

• yeah, my fav is rush and i'm not sure if that is becauase i like the character or if it's because he's Scottish. i'm going to go with Scottish because haft of the s*** doesn't make sense.
  the only ones that comes close is the LT. and the Sargent.

  the col. eh.
  sg personal suppose to be the best of the best of the us military. so what gives?

• I want to like Stargate Universe, I really do. It's Stargate, and it holds a special place in my heart. But, it just can't do it for me, its missing the magic that Stargate SG-1, and to a smaller degree, Atlantis had. They were fun to watch. Universe... I just can't relate to the show, or the characters. Even with the reveal of Destiny's mission, while really cool, isn't enough to make me passionately watch. Even tho I wish it was, the quality of the show is extremely good.

  I sadly actually forgot this episode was even on this Tuesday, and didn't realize it was on till most of the way through. But didn't find it worth it to stop what I was doing and go watch it. For the umpteenth time since I started watching the show on the first episode, this has happened. It's just not fun anymore. :(
