I don't agree about using median instead of average. EVERY episode's ratings count! Why should the highest and lowest rating be discounted? Are we grading on a curve now?
Do you think that this forum would ignore it if SV got a 10 million rating? Even though it's highly unusual. Hell NO!
Anyway, the SV's ratings already fall within a range. It's not like SV's ratings go from 10 million to 1 million. The rating have been nothing higher than 5 and some million and nothing lower than 3 million.
SO if the average is taken S7 (4.17) still beats S8 (4.00) so far.
AND you also have to take into account that hiatus lowers the ratings for any show. AND SV got hit hard last season because of the writer's strike. The break for the last arc was a lot longer than usual.
