  • “Remember to use your I Statements.”


    Kara and Penny are joined by Steve from Panels to Pixels to pull apart this plot-critical episode about trust, betrayal and deception. The trio talks about making sure your TV crushes are age appropriate, interventions, Princess Diana, the curse, fighting styles, how insecurity and trauma affects our favorite characters’ behavior, Xander’s pros and cons, the spectrum of rule followers, sexy Tai Chi, onion kisses, comparisons of sub-par and dated CGI, and reboot rumors.

    Fill in the blanks: “We’re Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans, of course we “________.”

    Errata: Steve says that the total population of living veterans and active service members is 3% of the US population, but it is actually 7%.

    Next time, Season 3, Episode 8, “Lover’s Walk.”


    Keep Slaying!

    Join us for an especially nostalgic trip to the 90s to ruminate on our own teen foibles, “Joyles” shipping, the appeal of bad boys, the cultural impact of Gap khaki ads, wondering what teenage Ripper would have listened to in the 90s, feathered coats, cultural appropriation, the connection between Ethan Rayne and candy, and yes, some light objectification of Anthony Stewart Head and David Boreanaz.
