Thanks to our friends at BuzzFeed, here’s a run down of all the funniest, weirdest, most disturbing, and all around best viral stories of the past week!

It almost sounds right: A Dr. Who Christmas. Maybe because it sounds a lot like A Dr. Seuss Christmas. Or something.

But the Brits have decided to take their beloved-but-still-somewhat-confusing-to-Americans character, Dr. Who, and give him a good old fashioned holiday movie, based on the classic A Christmas Carol , written by Steven Moffat, creator of the recent Masterpiece Mystery hit Sherlock, and set to debut on BBC America on Christmas Day. Moffat described his sci-fi holiday mashup this way:

People who love Dr. Who really love Dr. Who. The BBC remake of the beloved and long-running (1963 to 1989!) series solidified star David Tennant as a geek icon (and sex symbol) — which made his exit from the series today in a much-hyped event by the BBC a really big deal, so much so that #DrWho and #DavidTennant have been trending on Twitter all day.

You may already know that Stargate Universe is coming to the SyFy network — and it’s promising to bring back the starships, bigtime. Darker, edgier, bloodier – SyFy is clearly applying the lessons of Battlestar to the Stargate formula. Just in time.

Like vampire or zombie bites, geekdom is infectious. But this year it really seems like something has changed. Everyone seems to be talking about Comic-Con.
