THANK YOU! Now, I have to craft a special 4-ball award just for you (in advance :)). I have to say, I am really sorta amazed at your prediction talents. Much more than left to chance. I think we do need a Ball for Dominion. I think a red ball? We have used green, gold and gray. :)

How about a cracked ball covered with mold?

Well, the very first choice on the Poll is how I voted. :) I predict that this show will be canceled very soon, even if they air the remaining episodes. The game for this is dead online.

Predictions for Defiance Season 2 Episode 3

Overmind One: 1.45m

Wow, this show is tanking faster than I thought. I need time to come up with a new number.

OMG, I didn't even remember this show was on! :icon_lol:

It is worse this season than last, and that is saying a lot since the show was already pretty bad. By episode 5 they will probably be nearing the 1m mark and that will start the countdown.

I am predicting to be lower, since it's on the eve of July the 4th. People will be out celebrating instead of watching defiance.

People in the comment section at tvbythenumbers, people keep saying that a lot of people are watching this show online. I am not sure if they are telling the truth or just being optimistic.

I think if there were a large amount of people watching this show online that would also be reflected in a large amount of people watching it on TV. I don't think we're at the tipping point where more people watch shows online verses via their TV's. If that was the case more popular shows like TWD would have online viewers outpacing cable ones.

So basically I think what you're hearing is just industry spin. None of which can compete against actual hard numbers from TV viewers.

And here I thought the ratings for "Continuum" had cratered! I guess the brand value for SyFy must have really diminished over the years?

Syfy has ruined their "brand". They have become the face of soap-fi, canceled series, and bad fantasy shows. Oh, and is wrestling still big on that channel? They went for short time appeal to make money, and damaged their long term reputation. The Scifi Channel was a premium channel I gladly paid for. But I dont even watch Syfy for free online. I just get the shows I want and screw the rest.

What worries me is that SyFy will claim that there isn't a market for science fiction after giving us tons of shows that were not science fiction.

Since this episode is going to fall on the 4th of July weekend, I have to revise yet AGAIN. No way is this show going to draw 1.38m. So, I am changing my prediction:

Predictions for Defiance Season 2 Episode 3

Overmind One: 1.38 million 1.15 million
Heisenberg: 1.2 million
Jim of WVa: 1.1 million
SciphonicStranger: 987

I will say in its defense that this last installment was a bit better than before. The bomb plot was mildly amusing and because the show focused on it and on the mayors inability to run the town the lack of good characters was not as big an issue. But I still don't see this thing having a life for long.
