This so much. They could have hyped up a Dean on Michael fight or the confrontation overall instead of the God can die thing. Link to comment
Aeryn13 January 18, 2019 Share January 18, 2019 But those are roughly the numbers the mid-Season Finale did get, aren`t they? I don`t think you could expect huge growth. Next episode is probably gonna profit more if people liked this one. Ratings usually reflect that. I doubt in general even the PTB look at ratings per episode and go with "this is what people want". Otherwise every single episode should have been Dean hooking up with an old flame as that episode holds the ratings record for best this show ever had. Even the Wayward Pilot ratings were good-ish and the network still said "no thanks" and gave Legacies a greenlight when Originals at that time dumpster-dived their ratings. 2 Link to comment

Casseiopeia January 18, 2019 Share January 18, 2019 18 minutes ago, tessathereaper said: The top 4 or 5 what? CW shows for the week. Riverdale rated higher as did Roswell. Supergirl and Charmed will be back Sunday for their midseason premiere. Unless we adjust up this afternoon it isn't looking good for this week. Too bad it was a great episode but it unfortunately followed a very boring subpar midseason finale. Supernatural was trending at #2 for most of the evening. Hopefully that will help in the final ratings. Link to comment
Aeryn13 January 18, 2019 Share January 18, 2019 (edited) It should easily be the Nr.2 or Nr.3 show on CW, right? The Flash is first and I think Roswell is tied in demo and did better in viewers. But that was the Series Pilot so of course it got sampling. I foresee a rather steep drop from that, though, because the original show might have been cheesy teen romance back in the day (and I loved it) but the reboot was pretty anemic compared to it. Quote Riverdale rated higher Forgot RD since I don`t watch. Only hear this Season is a hot mess. SPG and Charmed are dark horses. I`m not sure they will do that much better than normally. Neither really had super-amazing mid-Season Finales. Supergirl in particular needs to tone it down a notch with the heavy-handedness. Edited January 18, 2019 by Aeryn13 Link to comment
MysteryGuest January 19, 2019 Share January 19, 2019 What's odd is that the episode is still not up on Amazon. I always watch the next day without commercials, but it's now Saturday, and still it's not available. I wonder what gives? Does anyone else watch that way, or maybe with iTunes?

MysteryGuest January 20, 2019 Share January 20, 2019 I ended up watching it on Google Play (thanks, Reganne!), since it's still not up on Amazon. If every damn network decides to start their own streaming service, they're going to lose viewers. I watch one show on the CW, and that's SPN. I will not be paying a monthly fee to watch one show. If they pull it from Netflix and other sources, then sadly, I won't be seeing it. I already pay for Netflix, Hulu, HBO and Amazon Prime. I don't have any intention of paying more for streaming services that I was paying for cable. It's ludicrous. It's a good thing I love to read... 2 Link to comment

Yes, the Finale airs on April 25th. I assumed it was airing straight through (most of) February, then have a hiatus in most of March and return for the final 5 or so episodes. I do know April 4th is a new episode. They could take random breaks for February and March but that is not good scheduling. It annoys audiences and stops even the flow of weekly watching. It`s like being in a traffic jam, stop and go, stop and go. Edited January 26, 2019 by Aeryn13 2 Link to comment

This just fuels my spec that Jensen is going to take a hiatus. I mean they should be done filming by the end of March? And they could hold back the eps until May. I wonder if the show has decided on an end date and the ratings and sweeps don't matter to the network anymore. I dunno. It is really odd for sure. 2 Link to comment
Aeryn13 January 26, 2019 Share January 26, 2019 (edited) Quote This just fuels my spec that Jensen is going to take a hiatus. I mean they should be done filming by the end of March? The Finale this year films from March 14th to March 22th so basically yes. As for ending earlier, I think this has less to do with SPN and more with how the CW is going about scheduling nowadays. Lots of shows share timeslots now in terms of fall / spring / summer. Or even in the Fall Season, last Season Supergirl took a long break for another show, this Season it is Legends of Tomorrow. I believe iZombie premieres its final short Season on Thursday May 2nd in Supernatural`s timeslot because the new show "In the Dark" starts airing once "Legacies" finishes its first Season at the end of March. Here you can basically find the CW`s rather complicated scheduling. :) Edited January 26, 2019 by Aeryn13 1 Link to comment

Doesn't seem likely. Though who knows, every season the show is renewed now is only going to see increasingly less and less of the Js. Pretty soon they'll barely show up at all. Either that or they could cut down the episode order to 13 episodes like Jensen wants, and then maybe he can take another gig, like a movie or something. 1 Link to comment

However, IF Supernatural ends with S15 it's because The Js have decided they're done and not, because the ratings suck or anything like that.
