The Ranking Expedition crests to the plateau, the summit is in sight. Are the people who made these original ratings still, existentially, us? Who can tell.

In our S08E08, the Buffy Boys breathe the rare air of the Lonely Ones from vamp groupies, serial killers, heartthrobs, and the fruit-punch-mouthed. Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:

• The simplicity and gothic accessibility of Season 1 - 3

• The night of this recording we got drunk and watched Lie To Me again and were relieved that it's still fun to watch Buffy

• 10 out of 10 "heretical lesbian icons" and "5.1s out of 10"
