What a shame, it was a really good episode wish more people were up to seeing it.

I just read an article in USA Today earlier this week. Smallville is not the only show suffering in ratings. Actually pretty much every big show is going in the same trend.

[Best Episode - 321]

Yeah, unfortunately people are tuning out. Maybe Promise had a bigger effect than I thought. Hopefully it will pick up next week.

Yeah, it was a great episode. And had a lot of good Superman moments and great Lex/Superman foreshadowing. Plus, it progressed the plot for the end of the season forward.

It's a shame that the ratings are so bad.

Yeah all ratings are down over the last couple weeks. It really weird to lose so much of the audience with only three weeks left in the season. And as you said, its not just Smallville.

I thought this episode is best recently.
Why the rating is bad?
I cannot imagine.
Do you think it is worse than last episode?

[Kryptonian-Ronin]

There has been a steady decline, right after Justice.
Labyrinth went down and it kept going down from there...

when the weather is nice, people do not want to waste their time in front of the tv

instead the problem could be DVR

DVR takes about 15% of the audience away and it does not count towards the ratings. so if Smallvill got 4 million viewers,in season 3 or so it would of gotten close to 5 around the same time because of this reason.

I also don't think the reason is because of Promise. IMO it was a great episode, but that is beside the point. The audience loves conflict and drama in love (no matter how long it can be drawn out) and why would they turn off now after they have been watching that long for Clark and Lana to be together?

It just depends on the season. The 3 week earlier day light savings time also effected episodes like Promise and Combat, but for the latter, Im not sure. Im going to hold there is a boatload of other shows to watch and people are DVR'ing Smallville
