Well, we call it "spinning"

I believe that they were just comparing the ratings for THIS season, and not for the series overall ratings over the seasons.

You have to remember the entire network has been down. BSG's season finale only got a 1.2! ECW (network leader) has been falling below a 1.5! This is great news and i think hope for a 5th season of Atlantis just went up. Remember the long hiatus, and people were illegally downloading the shows!

BTW, those ratings might be adjusted to a 1.8 and a 1.6!

[PG15]

Hooray for Stargate!!

3.2 million? Do you have a source for that?

[Briangate78]

Hooray for Stargate!!



3.2 million? Do you have a source for that?

That is correct actually! Moebius got a 2.4 Rating. That is 1,340,000 per Rating point. So when you do the math...

It equals 3,216,000 viewers!

It does give me hope. If overall, ratings are dropping, what is Sci-Fi going to do? Cancel all their programs? I'd hope not. Besides, what kind of ratings does Attack of the Zombie Cats get anyway?

And nice ratings!

Oh it does give hope. Now with the Season finale ratings, SGA should have like a 1.4 season average. Now the leader of the network is averaging a 1.5 now. Hmmmm. Common sense. Cost of production for SGA is not like SG-1 was.

if SGA was getting like a 0.8 or like 0.9 like PKJ then be worried! LOL

[NowIWillDestroyAbydos]

I knew the ratings would be good for the finale.

[the fifth man]

I knew the ratings would be good for the finale.

I would have been very shocked if they weren't good for "Unending". It is still nice to officially know now that it did well. At least it went out well. Good for SG-1.

Okay, let's just put thigns in perspective... yes, the entire network is down - by lots and lots. And yes, comparing to the other ratings SG1/A got this year - especially for the second half, it's a good result. I never claimed it wasn't.
But "triumph" is pushing it, IMO. Trumph was the 3.0 ratings SGA's Rising got. Triumph was the 2.4 ratings Moebius and New Order got. Yes, the fact series/season/mid season finales on Stargate still get higher than average ratings is great, but as the entire average gone down, the numbers themselves aren't that fantastic. Merely good. Very good, when put in context.
