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.)

I had no idea they had articles on LoM (http://www.conservapedia.com/Life_on_Mars) -- a "sitcom", didn't you know? and despite his name Gene Hunt is "not a genealogist" (must be a troll, surely) -- and Who (http://www.conservapedia.com/Doctor_Who) (they give a sarky Guardian quote calling it "relentless socialist propaganda" as though it's serious while simultaneously claiming Invasion of the Dinos as a warning about environmentalists). I never thought of looking for fancruft there before.

Although? Who is pretty heavily tilted towards socialism, and always, ALWAYS discounts religious themes, which is not going to play well on Conservapedia.
