Update: 4/25/10
Brief Summary:This updated, more detailed list simply details how all my pop-culture-y obsessions are connected. I'm crazy for making this list.So it goes.Robbie Coltrane and Johnny Depp connect everything.
Moonlight-->Doctor Who-->Pride and Prejudice-->Pirates
Sophia Myles has the trifecta connection as Beth Turner in Moonlight alongside vampire Mick St. John (Alex O’Loughlin), Madame de Pompadour in Doctor Who's "The Girl in the Fireplace" and Victoria Abberline in "From Hell" with Johnny Depp.
Depp chatted with the 10th Doctor, David Tennant, in the film “L.A. Without a Map.”
*Keira Knightley was an Elizabeth in both "Pride and Prejudice" (2005) and "Pirates".
Both of her Elizabeths encountered Tom Hollander. He was Mr. Collins and Lord Cutler Beckett.
*Talulah Riley was Mary Bennet alongside Knightley and the unfortunate Miss Evangelista in the Doctor Who two-parter "Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead".
*Carey Mulligan was young, silly, Kitty Bennet and inquiring Sally Sparrow for the Doctor-lite "Blink."
Steven Moffat helped write the “Doctor Who and The Curse of the Fatal Death” starring Governor Swann/Master (Jonathan Price) and the TV series “Coupling” starring Jack Davenport as ranting Steve.
"The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant" sees a Will (Alex O'Loughlin ) recieving the affections of a pretty tough chick instead of a British naval officer (Davenport).Does this remind anyone of Davenport’s turn as Norrington in Pirates? Of course it does.
Lord of the Rings-->Pirates
Merry (Dominic Monaghan)and Norrington(Davenport)are chilling together in CBS' "FlashForward".
*Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) advised Queen Elizabeth(Cate Blanchett) in "Elizabeth" and "Elizabeth : The Golden Age. "
*Tom Hollander was Sir Amyas Paulet in "Elizabeth: The Golden Age."
Moonlight--> Pirates-->Star Trek-->Scrubs
Alex O'Loughlin was Mick St. John, a vampire and Star Trek fan! I found
this video of a rough cut of the CBS Moonlight promos where Mick is being interviewed and one of the questions was:
What makes life worth living?At 1:05 Mick lists Star Trek’s The Trouble with Tribbles."
Martin Klebba was Marty in Pirates and Scrubs' Randall Winston, a custodial friend of The Janitor.
Lee Arenberg is Pintel in Pirates and Dr.Moyer in Scrubs'3rd Season opener "My Own American Girl."

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine playing “Gral” in “Nagus, The (aka Friends and Foes)”

Star Trek: Enterprise's 4th season episodes "Babel One" and "United" as "Gral".
Star Trek-->Hamlet--> Doctor Who-->James Bond-->Harry Potter
Sir Patrick Stewart was Captain Picard. He was Claudius in a stage production of "Hamlet" with Tennant as Prince Hamlet.
Tennant and Roger Lloyd Pack had a an alternate universe feud as the 10th Doctor and John Lumic in the Doctor Who episodes "The Age of Steel" and "The Rise of the Cyberman" and family feud as Bartimus Crouch Jr. and Bartimus Crouch in "The Goblet of Fire.”
*Catherine Tate, Pack, and Tennant starred in "Nan's Christmas Carol."
Shirley Henderson, the unfortunate victim of alien absorption in the Doctor Who episode who "Love and Monsters," didn’t fare well as Moaning Myrtle in Harry Potter.
Timothy Dalton aka James Bond was Lord President of Gallifrey in the Doctor Who Episode"The End of Time."
Camille Coduri, Doctor Who's Jackie Tyler,was in "Nuns on the Run" with Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane).
