“No one else exists either. Buffy is all of us. We think. Therefore, she is.”


Content warning: discussion of gun violence, school shootings, and suicide 
If you want to skip the main discussion of the Columbine shooting, it starts at 00:04:50 and ends around 00:16:11. Additional discussion of school gun violence occurs from 01:19:38 to 01:41:56.

This episode holds up remarkably well. Along with some serious messages about pain and compassion and empathy, it delivers some classic quips and hilarious character moments. The Scooby Duo bond over metaphoric runs and stumbles in their careers, always irresistible to our opponents, and go on to talk about Saint Buffy, demon eczema, the best superpowers, chicken and stars, cow print pajamas, Othello, Band Candy, individualism, assumptions, isolation, emotional intelligence, jealousy, reflections, Tiger King, Aladdin, Lawrence Olivier, Shakespeare in the Park, compassion fatigue, Jell-O, risk, alcohol abuse, man vs. bear, Cocaine Bear, the color yellow, Walk Like an Egyptian, British slang, and room temperature milk.

Next time, we’ll be covering Season 3, Episode 19, “Choices.”

Keep Slaying!
