Beyond Buffering: The X-Files, Fallout, Yellowjackets, & more!

We can barely recall when one leather-clad vampire slayer came a-fogging up classroom windows and drawing hearts everywhere - 'twas so like a dream, and only one short week ago. Lo! The winds of change blow harsh through Sunnydale, forcing Buffy and Faith farther apart from one another. Will they ever find their way back?! Today we're discussing S3E15: Consequences.

In this VERY SPECIAL EPISODE, we venture to Santa Barbara (aka Sunnydale) at the request of THE MAYOR (Helene Schneider, who is, as best we can tell, not evil *at all* but a totally lovely human, as well as a Buffy fan)! We chat with Helene -- and also Parry Gripp and Steve Sherlock of Nerf Herder (!!!) who of course you know WROTE AND PERFORMED the Buffy theme (eeeeeee) and brought us an unbelievable gift. This week, we're totally convinced that Santa Barbara is the real Sunnydale!

Will Buffy get to go to the ice show for her birthday? Will Angel finish his cheese plate? These are just a couple of the questions we're examining today, PLUS Jeff Kober joins us to talk about playing Zachary Kralik!! In case you forgot, this is the one where Quentin Travers, the head of the Watchers Council, is all "Hi Buffy, we'll be drugging you without your knowledge before locking you, in your weakened state, inside a deteriorating old boarding house with a former serial killer/current vampire." Today we're discussing S3E12: Helpless.
