In this very special bonus episode of The Sunnydale Diaries, that we recorded back in July, we step out of Sunnydale and into Los Angeles to revisit one of the most emotionally devastating crossovers in the Buffyverse: Angel Season 1, Episode 8 “I Will Remember You.”
Recorded live from our hotel room during Fanboy Expo in Knoxville, this episode finds us reacting in real time to the unforgettable moment when Angel becomes human, giving Buffy and Angel the one thing they’ve always wanted, and the one thing they can never keep.
We break down:
<ul>
<li>
Buffy and Angel’s long-awaited chance at a normal life
</li>
<li>
The demon blood that changes everything
</li>
<li>
Saltwater, regeneration, and the brutal cost of mortality
</li>
<li>
The Oracles, the Powers That Be, and the heartbreaking reset
</li>
<li>
The return of the Buffy/Angel theme at exactly the wrong moment
</li>
<li>
And of course… that final goodbye
</li>
</ul>
We talk about the ethics of the reset, the cruelty of memory, and why Angel, alone, has to carry the weight of what could have been. 
If you love:
<ul>
<li>
Buffy & Angel’s romance
</li>
<li>
Emotional gut-punch episodes
</li>
<li>
Or crossover events that actually matter
</li>
</ul>
Then this episode is required listening.

Bonus Episode - I Will Remember You (Angel Crossover)

Join hosts Sean and Melanie on their weekly journey into the captivating and supernatural world of the cult classic TV show, ”Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”  In ”The Sunnydale Diaries”, these two friends come together from opposite ends of the Buffyverse, resulting in an entertaining and thought-provoking podcast that delves into the show’s themes, characters, and episodes.

On one side of the debate, you have Sean, the seasoned viewer and die-hard Buffy aficionado. His love for the show runs so deep that he’s proudly inked an iconic episode quote on his arm, a testament to the enduring influence of this 90’s gem. Sean’s passion for Buffy is infectious, and his encyclopedic knowledge of the series adds depth to each episode as he navigates the highs, lows, and iconic moments that have kept fans enchanted for decades.

On the other side of the spectrum, we have Melanie, the uninitiated skeptic who’s never seen an episode of ”Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” With a steadfast belief that it’s a cheesy 90’s relic that can’t possibly withstand the test of time, she brings a fresh, modern perspective to the conversation. Melanie’s skepticism is often met with disbelief and amusement by Sean, as she questions whether Buffy can truly deliver on the hype that has surrounded it for so many years.

Together, Sean and Melanie dissect the general themes and overarching plotlines of the show, exploring its cultural significance, strong character development, and feminist undertones. They dive into the individual episodes, examining the monsters of the week, character dynamics, and how well the show has aged (or hasn’t) in the 21st century.

But ”The Sunnydale Diaries” isn’t just a serious analysis of the show. Sean and Melanie’s chemistry and friendship shine through in their humorous, tangential chit-chat. Their witty banter and playful disagreements make each episode of the podcast feel like a lively conversation between two friends catching up over coffee (or, perhaps, a stake and garlic-infused latte).

Whether you’re a lifelong Buffy fan, a curious newbie, or simply looking for an engaging and hilarious discussion about a beloved TV classic, ”The Sunnydale Diaries” has something for everyone. Join Sean and Melanie on this supernatural journey as they slay their way through the Buffyverse, one episode at a time.
