Defiance Ratings Hold Strong!

I tried watching Dexter.

I have no flippin' clue how that series got a second season, much less still be going.

Dexter is awesome... and it has 12-13 episodes per season which makes for better more focused shows with less filler episodes that lose audiences. Defiance has filler episodes with sprinkles of meaningful things being shared... but eventually it will all be filler episodes once the "lore" of the series is adequately explored, the rest of it is not that interesting.

I have enjoyed the show so far. Very few shows I have watched have had every episode be awesome. If you move to quick with the story you miss out on getting to know the characters.
I see it as it's a whole new world and they are slowly bringing us into it. Who's who. Whats what.
Not everything can be Firefly.

Actually, your numbers are for Ep 5. Ep 4 was DEFIANCE SYFY 9:00 PM 2.15 0.8

Ah, thanks for the correction.

So we have (Episode #, viewers in millions, Adults 18-49 rating):

E01: 2.70 1.0
E02: 2.40 0.8
E03: 2.30 0.8
E04: 2.15 0.8
E05: 1.98 0.6

The only problem with the series right now is they've got a bunch of storylines going at once and they've still got to sort out what to do with them all in a way the audience will understand.

Of course, the standard reaction to this approach by the average TV watcher is to abandon it and flip over to watch monster trucks with big hooters painted on the sides roll over things...

No idea how strong it;'s holding now but after that stomach turning disgusting last few moments of episode 5 I am completely done with watching the show all together. The show was ok and was enjoying it enough to watching but ugh my stomach is still sick so I am done with the show but will definitely keep playing the game since it's fun.

HOW do ratings work?

does some machine somewhere record how many people are on that channel?

Is it somthing else?

If I HATE a show, and never watch it, will that hurt the show?

EXPLAIN PLZZZ

Not sure what ratings they are using but this is the classic of rating systems:

It's a decent show. I'm a couple episodes behind due to travel (funny, the Rynn story missions might be the first time a game spoiled a tv show for me). It kinda has a Star Trek feel for me - slightly cheesy, but with some serious undertones and decent production values.

I just hope the show can keep up with its costs, which I can only imagine are considerable.

The show is boring as hell. It plays on my TV as background noise, because I would rather Syfy show that than some lame new "paranormal reality" show.
