I don't think "blame" is the right word GB, but I get your point.
At this point, I can easily see a burn off, but I think it will be the next ep that determines weather that happens or not. While the ratings were pretty darn bad, the .3 demo is what will kill it. While it was understandable when they were still pulling .5 and even the .4's, that was still close to half thier audiance in the "right" demo, .3 puts it closer to a third, and that just isn't worthwhile for Syfy.
Should they burn it off from *this* "viewer's perspective"? Yes, and it should have happened at the beginning of 2.5.
