In all three 2-parters, the ratings have increased for the second episode of the 2-parter. But with the ratings and audience for this season being pretty low in comparison to previous seasons, will this trend continue??

i say between 1.9 and 2.0 A18-49 just like the rest of the season
ReplyDeleteOMG, Dancing with the stars had > 6.0 demo!? How the mighty fall.
ReplyDelete2.1 / 2.2
2,2.1 would be my guess
ReplyDeleteGood idea for a post Jimmy.
I'm thinking a 2.0 and then a 2.2. And no trouble :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll say 2.1 (part 1) and 2.3 (part 2). But of course I hope they get higher ratings.
ReplyDeletePeople voting for 2.4 or above are living in dream land here. There's no way it's going to outperform last seasons by 0.3/0.4, especially when its ratings overall are down this year.
ReplyDeleteFor Targert i voted 2
ReplyDeletefor Hunt i voted 2.1
I'll go with 2.0 for "Target" and a 2.3 for "Hunt"... Voting for 2.4 or above is living a lie. Castle is a 5 years show which stands up for itself... These ratings are good and it's obvious the show will return for a sisth season... This said, i'll be ok with Season 7 being it's last...
ReplyDeleteI think between 2.1 and 2.2
ReplyDeleteI'm expecting a great suspenseful episode in 'Target', with lots of feels [now that it involves Alexis]. I like her character, don't know why people hate her so much. Also, when Castle's ex-wife said she didn't really know him, everybody started to expect a bit more of Castle's inner self. This will make more and more people that watched the series before [not only the regular fandom] want to watch.
ReplyDeleteUnfortuanely, I can't say much about how rating and audience will be ):
Not a Castle fan, but I notice the second parters get higher ratings. I wonder how many other shows this is true for.
ReplyDeleteI give it both a 2.1 at most
ReplyDeleteI've seen a lot of hate towards Alexis in forums and fanpages. Personally, I just know one or two folks to watch Castle, and they have nothing against her.
ReplyDeleteCastle is a great show, amazing cast and brilliant actors, sadly its averaging only 2 in demo this season, i will be more than happy if the two parter are 2 and above
