I think the numbers released already are what they call the "overnights": the first calculation of live viewers. I believe the final numbers, factoring in DVR usage and adjusting in mysterious ways for various other variables, come out a week or so after airing. So I believe the 1.2 is the number Mallozzi refused to release on his blog (and it's not good for the season premiere; he's doubtless hoping the final announcement will be better).
Sadly, after adjustment, it won't be much higher, I suspect. What does SciFi expect after leaking rough cuts of the first two episodes and putting the premiere against the new fall season on the networks? (Hey, with Bionic Woman, I'm actually watching a show on one of the old networks for the first time in years!)
We did our bit: we watched via our TiVo, which allowed us to go back when we missed lines and means we'll count in some teeny tiny way towards the adjusted number. We're a fractional family!
I want s5. I'm seriously considering writing to SciFi, but I have no idea if that will make any difference.
