The end is pretty seriously nigh. We talk about deadly rollercoasters, invisible spies, and welcome Cordelia to the club! Oh yeah, Buffy faces the Master, and dies for the first time. Xander saves the day with CPR, so remember to get your certifications, kids! Allie fesses up to watching ahead.
Are dummies ever not creepy? What IS the greatest love of all? We fangirl on Charisma Carpenter and are grateful she is here for us in this time of dummy terror. Is “Nightmares” really just “Restless 1.0”? We discuss.
Angel is a vampire! That is BRAND NEW INFORMATION. We are shocked! We discuss the gray area of the soul vs. evil issue, and wonder if the show is biased in favor ofAngel vs. Spike. Elsewhere, Sunnydale students learn the dangers of the Net. This week’s other burning thoughts: What is the point of the anointed one? Why doesn’t the Summers family have a barbecue fork? Why do watchers train slayers? Also, RIP Darla (for now).
We’re at the halfway point of Season 1! Buffy likes a boy, Xander gets possessed by a hyena. This week’s burning questions: Why is Willow always eating raisins at the Bronze? Who writes vampire prophecy? And was Matthew Lillard in every Freddie Prinze, Jr. movie? Also, RIP Principal Flutie, and hey, it’s that guy from Center Stage!
The slayerettes encounter their first non-vampire baddies, and magic! Buffy wants to join the pom pom cult and a witch isn’t having it, while Xander explores his first demon crush. We talk driver’s ed trauma, predatory teacher-student dynamics, and how Bring It On ruined all TV cheerleading, forever. Also, how do spells work? And how helpful is Angel, really?
Is Xander the actual worst? Why does everyone forget about Jesse? What's up with Angel's jacket? We try to answer these burning questions and more!
New girl Buffy Summers moves to Sunnydale and learns the town is not just populated by frighteningly old-looking teenagers, but by some frighteningly old undead citizens, too. It's cool, because she can kill them if she just spends enough time in the library. Other season 1 highlights include, a sexy praying mantis, a wild pack of hyenas, a demon-hunting dummy, and some bone-chilling fashion choices. Also, get ready for a blossoming romance with a super inappropriate age difference and a lesson in why you shouldn't skip your CPR recertification.
In which cheerleader Buffy meets President Snow and learns her destiny is to fight and kill the Vampires. Luke Perry shows up to help her and Hillary Swank is there, so it's kind of like an episode of 90210 with the undead. Also PeeWee Herman and the guy from Lady Hawk show up as the sunlight-allergic. Carousels remain creepy.
