Cinema Static disclaimer: This observational piece does not mean I am on their side. This is a neutral observation, motivated first by frustration as a viewer, but tempered with the business minded eye of the writer.
Albeit, everywhere I look, the Syfy channel is taking a beating in the social network circles everywhere I go. It ranges from polite observations to the more visceral reactions. But through it all the shift we’re seeing at Syfy is signifying that when NBC/Syfy hired Dave Howe way back in what, 2001, is doing his job, as expected and promised.

With the cancellation of Stargate Universe and the moving of Sanctuary to the doomed slot of Monday nights, Syfy channel can’t seem to make a move on a social network without taking a beating about it.
Over on Facebook, Syfy cranked out a note trying to pump up the theme of sci-fi Mondays. It looks like a tactical move to support SGU and the newly appointed Monday night show, Sanctuary. That didn’t go too well. The Syfy account took a trashing with 208 funderful comments. Still, there were 384 folks who ‘liked’ the reminder.
In another post, to remind folks about Stargate Universe‘s upcoming episode, they pretty much took 214 trasher comments about bringing the show back or not cancelling it. Meanwhile 456 folks ‘liked’ the reminder.
