I think they changed the name when it aired here, for whatever reason. The version I had watched was definitely the original series but now with added "Viva."
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
David Tennant! Sarah Parrish!
That is all.

"Don' be e-scared"
I have concerns about they ick-factor, but they come more from Tim's "primoridal misogyny" episode of Angel than anything in Seeing Red.<
Um, for the record, I was a) not the only writer on that ep (which I do still like, btw) and b) did not write the scene that develops the whole "primordial misogyny" idea. A writer who wasn't credited on that ep actually wrote that stuff. Joss. I did, however, write the scene at the end where Fred gives my theory. "This isn't something in you. It's something that was done to you." So there. Wah.

Which episode was that again?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Billy, Wolfram. I think. I actually really liked that episode. In fact after it aired I hunted Tim out on uk.tv.angel on the interwebs.

Of course. Thanks. (I liked that one too.)
Not really related, but I just started and finished season 1 of HIMYM and damn do I miss the Angel bunch.

Oh, well, this is confusing. Apparently, they reran the original series and also called it Viva Blackpool.
Blackpool was the original British name. Viva Blackpool is the "American" name. I don't understand why they had to add a word to the title for American viewers, but it's a Philosopher's Stone vs. Sorcerer's Stone sort of thing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
We can still give you shit for this old gang of mine, right?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Billy, Wolfram. I think. I actually really liked that episode.
As did I.

It's a good bunch! I'm almost caught up with season three.
