Bullshit.
I had the perfect reply, but it would not be appropriate outside of Flame Hell.

There will always be an audience no matter how idiotic a show is. You heard of the channel called annoying orange? Do you know how much this idiot earns? He filthy rich for posting rubbish like this. This thing draws him an insane audience regardless of how lame the content is. My brain melted from watching this shit but he earns 288,000 bucks a year from this shit.

Jim, this show is a crap sandwich. There is no such thing as "better" in the context of Dumbinion.[/quote]
NICE! But when you have such a large photo, click insert THUMBNAIL instead of full image. I fixed it. When you click it, it enlarges to full size.

Pretty conclusive that the ratings have flattened out

I still don't see 1.5 being able to financially keep this show afloat. The only way they will get a second "season" is if they already have six episodes in the can, financed via the original deal. I'll say it again -- Huge cast, copious use of CGI, numerous scenes, sets and SFX = Too expensive to maintain at a 1.5m rating.
Nope, not gonna buy that there's clamoring for a second "season of this turd. The second "season" we will get will simply be the episodes that were budgeted for in the original production deal. That's how they do it these days. We all know this.

Because unlike the other channels, syfy is not trying to go for killer ratings. If this was done on fox, it would get cancelled.

Killer ratings as in killing off the channel? Im all for that! Let a real science fiction channel replace it, or have the slack taken up by another network. Seriously though, all that needs to happen is that Bonnie Hammer goes away from Syfy. Perhaps others too. These ratings are dismal, and are low when compared to regular episodes of SG-1, Atlantis, even Warehouse 13. Even RERUNS of Star Trek TNG! It cannot possibly last unless a two year/two season deal was decided from the beginning.

I meant to say not after killer ratings lol. By killer ratings I meant, an insane number of people watching it. As I have mentioned previously, Dominion and Defiance have fewer episodes compared to the shows you mentioned. Their budget is about the same as SGU, but in ratings it's doing better than SGU or SGA. Syfy is just trying to survive here.
Though, other channels do it differently. For example, I can't see this show survive though since it's on cbs. CbS wants killer ratings; like 8+ million. SY is not about 8 million viewers but around 1.3 million and above

This proves my point. They are spending as much money as other shows but getting less bang for their buck. It's simple economics. It's impossible to sustain momentum with such a low return on investment. The fact that these shows have shorter seasons and fewer episodes only makes that reality so much worse because their initial budgets are as high as the shows you're comparing them to. This means they're wasting more money in a shorter amount of time.
Sure the writers and producers and even SyFy might love this crappy show but they can't keep up the charade forever. Economic reality prevents them from doing so.
Extant was a turd before it even hit the toilet bowl. We called it early on. There's no way it could ever be a success. I mean really, an astronaut on a solo mission that returns to Earth pregnant? You can see the boring melodrama all the way from space.
The only reason Extant even came into existence is because someone in Hollywood was stupid enough to waste money on this dumb idea. Then getting a "big name" like Halle Berry only pushed the production further. Of course none of that matters because the reality is that Extant is a loser. It was a lame horse right out of the gate.
