Best ratings of this season! WooHoo! We all know why that happened, don't we? ;-) I'm amused that when it comes down to it, TPTB know who draws viewers. Hee.

ROLF! No I didn't notice that! LOL. I'm going to have to look for that when I watch it again. That's certainly a "tell" isn't it? ;-)

I think the only reason that part 1, First Contact, was low was because of the Presidential debate. I know quite a few die-hard Daniel fans who watched the debate live and recorded the show. Wonder if the 1.1 is the figure that includes watching it later?

Yeah, the being on the same time as the debate was just bad timing. I knew they would take a hit then.

Don't know if the 1.1 includes watching later. I think I remember hearing once that it takes weeks to factor the "watch later" numbers in. But OTOH, I think that was a ratings discussion where an initial not-surprising low rating was being explaned away. So I have no idea how they're really handled.
