So what effort(s) is/are required of us beasties right now? I'm a doer, I just need instructions How can I help? Maybe we should ask Austen what he needs us to do. It is obvious the ratings are not going to go up on a Monday night and most of us beasties don't have a Nielsen box. You know I got a feeling that most people with boxes who do watch are probably not rabid fans like we are, more like a casual interest. That's probably why numbers usually drop half way through the episode. I know that our being active on twitter counts too. I send out tweets and retweets to my followers every day and on the Monday of the episode being shown, I up my twitter activity and at all times I use the hashtag #BATB. Also livr streaming if you can either directly from CW. I know in Canada that option is not available at least not to us west coasters. Or download Tunnel Bear anf watch via Hulu using that. I am told that we need different IP addresses. Using one IP address to stream all day long may only count as one. Hopefully, I have made myself understood so this means using more than one household to stream so if you have obliging friends....

So, whether it has or not good ratings, Star-crossed will air all its episodes this season. Here we have the finale dates for all CW shows... Finale dates (CW)

Personally I feel it doesn't matter what we do the number of viewers will remain the same.Those that watch the show have been fans from season 1. It is hard to get new viewers.

It is hard to get new viewers. yes we cannot get new viewers simply because it is measured through nielsen and even if we recruit a few more beasties these will not be nielsen viewers and they wont count. even DVR counts only with a nielsen box there are only two episodes left till a decision is made and the ratings will not change, no way maybe what we could do is do more trending events etc (which we already are) and to be fair i do not think these make an awful lot of difference we could also send some more letters to pedowich but again, they do know very well there is a strong fan base the other thing is do a crazy campaign like the chuck fans did where they approached subway but that requires a very united fandom (and we are spread all over the world, rather than u.s. based and somebody willing to lead that). the only way ratings could increase is through a) intense promotion by the cw (like they do with some other shows) b) a better timeslot too late for the above though, a decision will be made very soon if not already ... though i do genuinely think they have not decided yet, and are waiting to see if TTP can retain its 1.5million viewers and the 0.5 demo on a monday as well as whethter the 100 succeeds after a couple of episodes . if by some miracle TTP drops half its viewers and the 100 gets a 0.4 on a wednesday from the 3rd episode onwards then we stand a good chance of renewal with a monday or friday slot but maybe not a full season, though i would not preclude that if both shows failed (we already know that starcrossed has though we have to wait for a couple more episodes)

Although I cannot watch the episode live, I do watch it on CWTV.COM a few hours after air time. And then again the same many times through the week. I hope that helps something. (It helps me.)
Last episode I got on Twitter.com (my first time) and re-tweeted Austin and everyone #batb. Don't understand twitter but I did what I could.
I went to microsite.fan-academy.ca/vote.html and voted a hundred times for KK as Canadian Film Star. See my entry at "Kristin Kreuk #4". Worst case: if BATB ends, KK might be offered something also great.
I have watched Season-One about ten times on NetFlix so far. That may register with someone (but thats not why I do it). Also, I requested (saved) Season-Two at NetFlix even though it is not yet available. Might mean something to somebody.
You would think watching current episodes on CWTV.COM would mean something - I have to watch their stupid commercials over and over.

Because you have to have something like Tunnel Bear which you download on your computer and this will then allow you to watch the show via a site like Hulu. You can do the free Tunnel Bear if you want. You just have to do some research on this but I think T Bear is international as is Hulu and you will find one for your region. Otherwise CW online can only be watched directly in the US

I'm curious about ratings esp here at the Replay Paradise WEST COAST to be specific Las Vegas. I assumed WEST COAST viewing are not counted in the ratings?? because we get replay/tape delay here BATB being shown at 9pm Pacific Time. I do understand that because of the time difference, some folks still driving home from work. So, no LIVE show on WEST COAST really except sports. I could be wrong but am I right that EAST & MIDWEST viewing are the ones counted then? I'm just trying to do my part here helping with the ratings I even turned both TVs.

I notice that our show is not in that list of CW finales. Is that because it is uncertain when we will even see the rest of the episodes in S2?

Everytime I tried to watch the episode on The CW website, the videos have never worked for me, and I don't know why. There is a plugin for firefox, called Anonymox. Install, set an US-IP adress and try cwtv.com again. I need to delete my history/chronicle everytime before I start watching and stop my Anti-Virus-Firewall for 1 minute, but then it works. If you have questions, PM me ;-)

So randomly, Shonda Rimes mentioned the name Vanessa Chandler on her show Scandal, it was just a reporter, but still in my head I hoped maybe she is a fan? On a serious note, what are the twitter trending plans for Sunday & Monday? Where or when are people posting what to do? I was thinking if people could tweet both when the show airs in Canada & then when the show airs in the US, we could show TPTB that people do watch the show. I obviously cannot watch the show on Sunday when it airs in CA, but I could send some tweets with hashtags during that time, as long as I know when it is on Eastern Standard time in US. We could do something like #vincatlove #vincatreunite #renewBATB #renewBATBCW I did like in one of the posts that mentioned the abbreviation GAG (go away gabe), we could do something like #lovesendhilbutGAG. I dont know. What do you all think? What would be good hashtags? Do we want to try to get worldwide trending on both nights?
