but i hope syfy's looking at it as 'you're doing good enough, so you'll get at least one more season to finish things up, if need be.'
of course, they wouldn't say it that way.sally

there really doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason to these ratings, in that they don't seem to be reflective of the episodes themselves.sigpic
Thanks to yamiinsane for my lovely sig.

Fingers crossedsigpic

Forever Knight OT:
Spoiler:Took me a lot of emotions and thoughts and religious guidance, but the finale totally made sense for me in the end
majorsal,
the show was cancelled twice! lol
We are talking about the very last show finale, after season 3.

I love it. There are so many factors that influence an ep's ratings, it's so exciting to think them thru. No chance to guess anything of course, but I think we could explain much of the ratings' volatility after the fact, like thru external factors (day of week, other shows etc.) or the quality of the previous ep (which is of course hard to determine because tastes differ)sally

But as I told Majorsal earlier, even though Acolyte was not as good as Chimera, it was still much better than the few episodes which aired before Chimera, so I'm glad people gave it a shot when Acolyte was aired, and not Fugue or Icebreaker. I hope new viewers (if there were any) liked the episode as much as I did and will be there next Friday. I'm pretty sure if the ratings stabilized next week it could be enough for a renewal.
Fingers crossed
@Abnormal Another thing makes me so proud is that, after the totally, completely and UNNECESSARY controversy about Monsoon and how some fans felt about Fugue, I read something from someone on another board saying that the show could have bruised it's ratings a lot, and they actually expected another drop this week. And I'll admit (and this is ME saying this) I was worried, and I was getting down from it all, but to see the show get a season high, and not just a season high, but ratings that we used to see, THIS is the Sanctuary I know. By that I mean, for it to rebound like that, after not so great ratings, it proves that it still has fans coming, and that Monsoon and Fugue didn't hurt the show.
Though, I can't see why eps like Monsoon and Fugue would hurt the show.

Are we seriously going to keep up with these snide comments and dissing of other fans???? Honestly?
What happened to kindness and respect? Instead of respecting peoples' rights to be upset and unhappy we're going to take digs at them, taking the low road to make ourselves feel superior and righteous and oh so super duper fan, cutting down others to make ourselves 'look' and feel more better and prove what a 'true fan' we are?????
Bah humbug.
Now, I'm putting my mod hat on...the topic is a person's feelings on whether or not there will be a season five. It is NOT, i repeat NOT open season on other fans. You'll notice that the topic is not 'my opinions on others opinions'

Well, one thing a network looks at is how steady a show is in ratings. Sanctuary has been pretty steady all season, even when they were moved to Tuesday for one night they still maintained a 0.4 18-49 demo, and even had a couple of 0.5's this season. I've always said, that I think 1.5 Million viewers on a live+SD basis should be enough to get a show like "Sanctuary" renewed, but I am not going to blow smoke up anyone's....um well you know what, but it all really depends on how much "Sanctuary" is costing the network. If they can have a budget to make Season 5, that still makes a profit for the network based on their ratings, well they could renew the show.
5 Seasons seems to be the life span for most shows on Syfy. So we shall see what happens. I do think we will know before the new year Sanctuary's fate.
My opinion, I think it will be renewed for one final season, with a reduced episode order.sigpic

i hope it'll get a 13 ep order, but i'll be happy for *any* new sanctuary stuff.

I remember how I was when the show got 13 for S4, and I don't know how I'd be with a lesser episode order than that.
Oh, and in other news-
Once Upon a Time drops again, Sanctuary jumps and 13 other shows
"This week, Once Upon a Time continued its alarming downward slide, while Chuck picked up a few viewers and Sanctuary got a very encouraging numbers spike."
"Sanctuary finally got a numbers jump this week with the highest viewership of its season so far. The rating score stayed the same, but at least the numbers tell a story that might end with an encouraging season finale."
