And hasn't it been said that Eureka has an older overall audience than Atlantis, same goes for Sanctuary? At the beginning of season 4, Atlantis got picked up on 1.0s and 0.9s, and the overall viewer number after Live + 7 was lucky to scrape a 1.3 or a 1.4. That was good enough back then (and yes I've heard the '100 episodes' and 'writers strike' arguments before, but there was such a leap in viewership during mid season 4 that even if they WERE true, it would be of no significance now)
The overall viewers for The Lost Tribe were likely similar to those of episodes from early season 2. The fact that audiences dipped, and then came back again just a strong, sometimes stronger than it was before the dip is a very good sign.
I'm getting sick of this stuff having to be explained again and again, I know you don't want to listen to it because it shows Atlantis is actually doing better than you want it to, but it's the truth, so read it and keep it in mind the next time you want to make b***** comments about the ratings
