Okay. Adding in the last few weeks (in other words, cutting and pasting from the earlier entry). And on a related ratings note... Jewel Staite guest starred on Stargate Atlantis this past Friday (too much prosthetic make-up for my taste but the voice was all Jewel - and I thought she did a great job with the so-so-ness that is the norm for that show). Stargate Atlantis was the SCI FI Channel ratings winner for that night. There were 16% more viewers this past Friday than there were the week before. So, Jewel Staite guest stars, increase in viewers. Coincidence? I think not.
