"Zero Hour" Finishes Season With Above Average Viewership, Tops Last Year's Finale

STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE went out on something of a high note last week with the twisting season finale "Zero Hour." In addition to setting the STAR TREK world spinning with a cliffhanger ending out of nowhere, the episode also managed to stir more viewers than average to tune in.

Drawing an average of 3.91 million viewers for the entire program according to the final numbers published in the Hollywood trades, "Zero Hour" beats last year's finale "The Expanse" by about a hundred thousand viewers (3.88m). Furthermore, it was the most viewers for a first-run episode of ENTERPRISE since February's "Harbinger."

This also puts the final episode above the season three average of 3.8 million viewers. Other overachievers include the first five episodes of the season, "Twilight," "Similitude," "Harbinger" and a couple others. ENT earned over one million viewers since the beginning of its final six new episodes on April 21st ("Damage," 2.86m). This wasn't enough, however, to keep season three from going out with less viewers than came into it. "The Xindi" was seen by 4.07 million and the following four episodes all had audiences over 4 million.

In the Adults 18-49 demographic, "Hour"'s 1.7/5 is the best showing for the prequel since November's "Similitude" ran away with a 2.1/6. "Zero Hour"'s A18-49 figure beat all but "Similitude" and "Anomaly," "Extinction" and "North Star."

Additionally, viewership during the finale grew from 3.71 million in the first half hour, with 4.1 million eventually witnessing the monkey-wrench cliffhanger that hopes to draw viewers back in the fall.

Thanks to 'Cyrus' for recording the numbers and passing them along!
