To help bring attention to the fact the budget for The New York Public Library has been dramatically slashed, Improv Everywhere staged a skit where people dressed as ghosts (wearing sheets) and wandered through the building. Then, four people dressed as the Ghostbusters show up. You can watch it here. Some behind the scenes stuff is here. Yes, Winston wasn’t there when the Ghostbusters investigated it in the movie, but I’m okay with that. Personally, I think they needed a Janine to scream “We got one!” Or that a flash mob should do this sort of thing at a museum, bringing along a portrait of Vigo. …someone please do this in my town. We have Zombie Flash Mobs marching down the streets every October, we need the Ghostbusters, too.

Io9 interviews Steven Moffat.

Three new clips of the next episode of Doctor Who have just been released.

Smallville ends after the next season—season 10 to be exact. Tom Welling broke the news. I still doubt he’ll ever wear the tights, even at the end of the series.

Sidenote: Dad still watches even if I gave up on it long ago, and says he’s very happy that it’s ending—because now I can force him to watch something else. It’s the only way he ends up watching stuff, apparently. Because of me, he says he’s “watched Buffy, Angel, Veronica Mars, Life on Mars, Torchwood, Doctor Who, Highlander, Merlin and Thundercats.” The last is very random, but apparently he got hooked at some point long, long ago when I wouldn’t let him leave the room when it was on. Probably around the age of 6 or 7.
