The NY numbers were removed from the fast nationals and reflected in the finals. So these numbers can't be compared to last week because we're missing NY. @Justin, Smallville was preempted in New York (largest market) last Friday for a Mets game.

Still, a 0.9 is not a 0.8. I'm just concerned next week is going to see another drop, I really think the last episode did a lot of damage.

If it "improves" to a 1.0 or 1.1, it'll run out it's 13 episodes and be canceled. If it rises to a 1.3, it might, MIGHT, get a back 9 order, though I'd still say cancellation. I'm basing this off the numbers you TVBTN guys ran for the Dollhouse vs. House Rerun profits post. Dollhouse gets a better profit than the reruns at 1.2/1.3 than House would for the FOX group, that's why I say it MIGHT get that back 9.

I'm dying to see what happens to lead to and what happens after Epitaph One, but the show is being so slow in getting there. Maybe they should pull a Desperate Housewives/One Tree Hill and just go at warp-speed pace. That would help with making the show more serialized rather than meandering and thus for me more interesting. If at the end of this series we're still years from that future, boo. I’m of two minds.
