SCI FI Friday Bows Score High
The July 15 "SCI FI Fridays" season premieres of the SCI FI Channel original series Battlestar Galactica, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis led the network to the top ratings of the night on basic cable among adults 18-49 and 25-54, the channel announced.
The second-season premiere of Galactica was the number-one program on television, including broadcast and cable, among men aged 25-54 and 18-49.
Stargate SG-1 kicked off its record ninth original season with a 2.1 household rating (2.6 million viewers). That was 5 percent higher in household ratings than its January premiere, 6 percent higher among adults aged 25-54 and 8 percent higher among adults aged 18-49.
Stargate Atlantis launched into its sophomore season with a 2.2 rating (2.8 million viewers), a 6 percent ratings increase over January, a 6 percent increase among adults, an 8 percent bump among adults aged 25-54 and an 11 percent hike among adults aged 18-49.
Battlestar Galactica began its second season with its highest-rated episode to date, a 2.6 household rating (3.1 million viewers).
Yay.
Also, there is an almost impossible to avoid spoiler for BSG episode 10 (spoiler from the creators and the SciFi website). Not a big deal I suppose, as the spoiler is just what the premise is for that episode, but....
Anyway, it sounds cool.

So. The SCI FI Channel pulls its best numbers when it puts a bunch of original science fiction series on together. Who would have thought that was how to run something called the Sci Fi Channel?

Yeah, they totally ignored my email to them, suggesting a Friday

marathon (
Howard the Duck, The Making of Howard the Duck, Howard the Duck with Commentary,
etc).

Better than Crossing Over. Possibly better than Mansquito.

Mansquito
belongs in a separate reality, where phrases such as "better than" do not apply....
Note that I am not "defending"
Mansquito,
as that word doesn't apply either.
I missed Bates. I assume he's in an Air Force hospital somewhere.
I thought it was fascinating (and kind of weird) that all the senior Atlantis staff went back to Earth, leaving Teyla, Bates, and Zelenka in charge. (If Bates is still there, of course.) In fact, I'm astonished that Teyla was left in any kind of authority at Atlantis: I can't imagine the SGC approving it at all.
It's all very confusing.
I did think "Good thing the Wraith didn't send a hive ship or three back a week later to check out the wreckage after it cooled down from that nuke and see if the gate to Earth was still intact."

They were studying from the Captain Kirk school of leading. Pile all the command staff into one shuttle craft and head for the surface of the planet.

That would be "unexplored planet"; plus, no survival suits/breathing apparatus, no supplies and no food... just lots of red shirts.
