Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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!

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.

Not really related, but I just started and finished season 1 of HIMYM and damn do I miss the Angel bunch.

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

You could, Allyson, but since I hate that episode too, more than you could, I am teflon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

That makes the comment make more sense, then, right? Because they were talking about the Joss-show, not the Tim-show? WRT ick?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

How about if I make fun of you for not reversing the order of Jaye and Bianca's "Grease?" "Single White Female!" exchange for the funnier-yet-cheaper punchline? I'd mock affectionately...

Did they actually air two episodes?

The CBS execs must have been feeling more generous than the show warranted. I would have cancelled it midway through the pilot when Melanie Griffith started butchering "One Way or Another."
