At the moment, blogs have pretty well fallen into disuse.

I understand where you're coming from. At some point, the article's author thought it would be beneficial to readers to have a page to link to whenever someone whined about some continuity error.

To that extent, it has been useful to the wiki, in the spirit of fun and playfulness.

Blogs, around here, have been used in some cases to draw attention to news articles, to provide tutorials on filling out templates (which is something I've been working to move to project pages instead, actually), and - in a number of cases - to pimp out some really, really terrible fanfiction.

There is a fine line, but I would say that the Retcon Roulette article is at least informative in a way that an op-ed blog post (which I would love for more people to write) is not. Honestly, it's just an in-joke. It's an easter egg.
