Couple things I thought of interest:

The infamous "whogasm". I don't know why I'm so amused at watching a pair of total strangers watching Doctor Who - it's not like the same scene wasn't more or less played out in my own living room (with perhaps a few less "Martha, no!" comments). Or maybe it's the sorority of fandom that makes it so much fun. After all, on ep night at Media*West when I tried to call a friend's room and got misdirected, a total stranger cheerfully checked out what I was asking for. We are what we are, and we are not alone.

I have always liked Slactivist (who has an LJ feed under that name): Articles like this one on Conservapedia is the reason why. (That and the Left Behind analysis articles, which are chilling but brilliant.)

Friday Funnies

Save time, friend travels_in_time An untitled Hitchhiker's Guide/Torchwood crossover. Douglas Adams wrote an immortal character too...

Metaquotes has a less-than-deep commentary comparing Christianity and Islam (and others). (Not blasphemous. If you're Jewish.)

jonquil summs up the last 10 minutes of Utopia. I'd quote it, but I'd have to spoiler cut it - save time, move the drinks away from the monitor, and just click the link. (Okay, the Doctor being emo isn't a spoiler; he does it in every ep, so: Jacobi: You call that an emo face? I've seen Bafta emo-face! I've seen Olivier emo-face! I did better than that when Claudius got an ingrown toenail!)
