Battlestar Galactica - Season II

i hope this show doesn't fall flat cause it is pretty decent.

 

I found this, so it appears everything is ok for now. I do tell everyone I see about it trying to get them hooked. I always ask if they like 24, and if they say yes than I tell them this is 24 in space...

A Look at Battlestar Galactica's Ratings This Season
While Lower, Still Doing Well Demographically

Many critics have taken a liking to SCI FI's reimaging of the classic Battlestar Galactica. And this season has been a stellar one to date. The stories are much faster-paced, the virtual sex between Six and Baltar is completely absent (at least in the first four episodes which have aired so far), and a shocker-of-the-week ending has become the norm (e.g., the Cylons boarding the Galactica in the premiere to Cally's shooting Boomer in the most recent episode).

With respect to household ratings (HHR), Battlestar clearly outstripped the competition its premiere night on SCI FI, earning the highest rating to date on a single episode: namely, a 2.6 HHR. However, in the last three weeks, it has hovered around the 2.0 mark. Episodes 202, 203 and 204 have generated respective HHRs of 2.0, 2.0 and 1.9. And while some have argued that Galactica has reached its all time low with 204 (see Gateworld), it is virtually tied with the Stargates .

Furthermore, when one looks at these HHRs from the perspective of who is watching Galactica, the series is still maintaining its punch. For the past 4 Friday nights, SCI FI has been the #1 cable network among two key demographic age groups, 18-49 year olds and 25-54 year olds for the 8-11 EST programming block.

As one NBC/SCI FI executive relayed to Ragnar Anchorage, "We are very happy with the ratings. Of course, all of us would like them to be higher, but at this point we consider what we are getting [to be] very successful." When asked about being the #1 cable network on Friday nights, the executive indicated, "This is a great goal to reach. You cannot be much better than number 1."

So hopefully you have a better perspective on the rating numbers and how SCI FI interprets them. And the good news is Battlestar Galactica continues to hold its audience, with a Season 3 looking pretty good at this point in time. That should keep the fans happy as they watch their favorite sci-fi show on Friday evenings.

Lucy Lawless was hot, and apparently a Cylon.

And the original theme song makes an appearance.

 

They showed the previews for the season finale next week in this weeks show. Michelle Forbes is Commander Cain and from what I can tell she has gotten sorta hot in her advancing years and from the looks of things is a demanding bitch. Funny how for the first time since the show began the crew got to end a show on a happy note and now some damned woman gonna come in and screw things up...

 

What were there, 6 episodes this season? They were great but that kinda sucks.

 

I think SCI-FI is working around the traditional network sweep periods to get better viewership.

 

That rocked when the original theme started playing.

The finale is a cliff hanger with the second part airing when it picks back up in January. I wonder if the Pegasus will be kick ass compared to Galactica, it should.

 

Missed Friday's eppy, but I recorded it last night. I'll be watching it this evening. Whole bunch of premieres coming up this month.

 

Oh my. Michelle Forbes is gonna be badass.

 

And she was. It's amazing how humans can find each other in desperate times and shortly find a way to fuck it all up.
