The morning after the nights before: "Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King"

by Diane Duane
King Gunther and Queen Brunnhild: Sam West and Kristanna Loken

Well, so it’s finished airing…and SciFi is very pleased. From our producers this morning:

The premiere of Dark Kingdom averaged a 1.8 HH rating and 2.109 million total viewers (P2+).

This is the most-watched Monday program ever for Sci Fi in any second quarter.

Dark Kingdom delivered 1.181 million P25-54s, the #8 cable program for the day on Monday on this measure.

…Over on the BBs at SciFi there’s a certain amount of approbation, a lot of confusion about where the story came from, and some indignation at the ending, along the lines of “How dare this not have a happy ending, it’s a fairy tale, right, a fantasy, where’s our happy ending?”

Ah well. We have ours. 🙂 On to the next miniseries!

(The funniest remarks over there so far: (1) “There should be a sequel!” (Whoops, sorry, we seem to have killed everybody but Kriemhild. (2) “We want a series!” (Argh! But now that you mention it… NAAAH.) 😉
