Give it 6 eps dude, 6 eps and you can begin to see a trend, before that you are jumping the gun.
I think with this particular one that it's disjointed enough to start to make predictions. It seems like the writers have a finger in every genre pie so to speak. They're trying to appeal to a wide audience with all the various areas they hit on -- scifi, westerns, romance, crime, video games, kids programming, etc. This, to me, is never a good combination as no viewer is truly satisfied in the long run.
So I'm predicting a steady drop in ratings. I don't think it will be as dramatic as it was for SGU, but it will drop and then level out probably. And when it levels out it won't be at a high enough number to justify continued production costs. The only reason that it will run for any appreciable length of time will be due to the video game tie-in and the attending contracts, like with the way SGU had a guaranteed 2 season run from the start. This could be the same type of deal and if the ratings tank like they did for SGU then the investors are going to be running from this thing like it's the Titanic.
