Defiance Ratings Hold Strong!

[Ryme]

The character interactions are interesting. The rest of the CG driven stories feel over the top and needlessly forced. I would go so far to say the show is suffering because of the elements included to keep it affiliated with the game. The whole thing would play out much better if they kept to the political and social intrigue, and stopped trying to cram in the occasional alien army and giant mutant insect.

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.

Stomach turning? What exactly was your issue with it? The near-nudity? Guy on girl? Or is your issue a black guy with a white girl?

They've almost lost a million viewers since the pilot but it currently got BSG amount of viewers so I wouldn't be to worried unless it drops under a million.

They have kept me interested so far!

This would be me as well.

I buy them on Vudu ... I like to watch without any interruptions. Don't know how this effect ratings if any ....

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

negates the op's title

its a drip drip dropping that if it isn't staunched = bad news though the drop off for episode 5 does seem that the trend is slowing down. BUT the sample size is too small. when it hits episode 10 then the fate of defiance's ratings will be known

Actually, other than the last episode it's not so bad. The slow release of viewers isn't that bad if the second number (the demo) stays steady. To be honest, that's the one advertisers and Syfy care about the most. If things don't rebound after the last episode, that'd be a bad sign. But for now the "strong" thing stands.

Still liking the license as a whole. I watch each episode as it airs, then watch reruns I I happen to catch em.
