We all are familiar with my favorite internet meme, LOLcats. Whether or not you call pronounce it to rhyme with “polecats” or spell out the “el-oh-el”, they are cute, funny, and, um, cute.
I want to share my collection of sci-fi related LOLs with you, too. Check these babies out:

So for Waffles’s next achievement, I know he’s been talking about learning some more advanced video editing techniques. Well, here’s an example of something homemade (from YouTube user dwlieu) that ought to serve as a motivational example of, um, that:
Battlestar Galactica Intro / Star Trek DS9
Shot by shot, it’s perfect; it demonstrates an appreciation [...]

This is absolutely adorable — a fan video featuring some pretty good homebrew special effects, with kindergartners running around as the Doctor, Captain Jack, Davros, and a dalek. It’s great.

I just discovered SciFiNow. It’s an independent British sci-fi news and review magazine, and it’s great. (Its publisher has a line of several other techie review magazines, but they’re not connected to the producers of the content they review, unlike, say, the Sci-Fi Network’s rag.) I mean, just look at that cover! We have [...]

Waffles and I went to see the new X-Files movie. It’s essentially a long stand-alone episode, set in the series’s present, with Mulder And Scully both separated from the Bureau: Mulder hermiting himself up in an old cabin somewhere and Scully doing the Lord’s work(?) in Our Lady of Dimly-lit Creepiness Hospital. Chris Carter, [...]

Since the BBC airs the Series 4 finale of Doctor Who today, this is the perfect opportunity to watch this live performance by Orbital of their version of the Doctor Who theme (pay special attention to who goes crowd-surfing at the end):
Orbital was a British electronica band, and this was their final live show. It [...]

Holy cow — I read a great review of this past Saturday’s episode of Doctor Who on my favorite sci-fi blog, io9. It’s the penultimate episode of the season (or series, in Brit-speak). I’ll write some thoughts once this story arc is over, but in the meantime, I cannot recap the episode any better than [...]

Okay, so they’re the master villians of the Doctor Who universe. And I’ll admit, they’re pretty awesome. It might’ve been the first, and still one of the only times a non-humanoid is a supervillian (eat your heart out, Borg Collective!).
But seriously, guys… Check out this bad boy: His one hand is a plunger, that originally [...]
A little footnote on the Battlestar Galactica debate: It’s been suggested that perhaps this is all happening in our past, and that the Colonials actually establish the human presence on Earth that gives rise to us. To an extent, this notion is a holdover from TOS, whose voice-over narration basically told us that this is [...]

Last night, Butter and I watched “Turn Left,” the eleventh episode of the fourth season, and the first episode of the three-part story arc that will make up the season finale.
Russel T. Davies wrote this episode, and boy! — does he have a way of stirring up shit! Using a plot concept from an episode [...]
