Buffy Boys

It's a dark and stormy night for the Buffy Boys in S02E08 "The Dark Age" when the ghost of Giles's teenage rebellion sleepwalks back into his life. As John Constantine said - the ultimate secret of magic? Any Brit could do it.

Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:

• Erosion of childhood ideals: repetition and disintegration of identity
• Occult, the bachanal and genderqueer - dark magic as a cipher for self-determination and roleplay
• The shabby grandeur of the English ghost story - M.R. James by way of Sid Vicious
• Lost Boys Weekend? Eh? Is that anything?
• "This is what happens when you have school on Saturday."

It's a dark and stormy night for the Buffy Boys in S02E08 "The Dark Age" when the ghost of Giles's teenage rebellion sleepwalks back into his life. As John Constantine said - the ultimate secret of magic? Any Brit could do it.

It's 'Revenge of the Living Cosplayers' for the Buffy Boys in S02E07 'Lie to Me' as an old schoolyard crush from Buffy's LA days arrives in town with a half-baked cult of vampire groupies, six months to live, and a plan. Can too much LARPing kill you? Yes.

Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:

• Meeting imitation with interior life in reconstructing a post-Anne Rice vampire
• Nitro-burning funny cars
• Nursery rhymes and scary stories as a rubric to strip back the shell of childhood
• "Wine" shirts - functional and fashionable
• Manicheism and the erosion of binaries in the Slayer's Journey
• "Uh, very good, yes. Uh, um, Buffy... Excuse me. You are not, by any chance, betraying your secret identity just to impress, um, cute boys, are you?"

It's the most wonderful fright of the year in S02E06 "Halloween". The Buffy Boys talk duality, gender play, and thirsty wigs when a cursed costume shop comes to sleepy ol' Sunnydale. But does Giles still hold a black flame candle for its enigmatic owner, Ethan?

Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:

• Integration and evolving identities through the lens of feminine expression
• Ambiguously murdered (?) children
• Queer joy: living as a minority is an act of defiance
• Tropes of 'secretly gay' men
• The danger of being a a hardcore girl who just wears lingerie and some form of animal ears
• "You may be hot stuff when it comes to demonology or whatever. But when it comes to dating, I'm the Slayer."

The Boys delve into the venomous world of fraternities in S02E05 "Reptile Boy" as Buffy and Cordy get wrapped up with some entitled college fellas who are sacrificing girls in cold blood. Well, the patriarchy can just hiss off!

Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:

• Phallic imagery: sometimes a snake is just a snake
• Sex, death and responsibility - reprecussions of being a teenager in horror
• Misogyny and the discarded skin of the 'Nice Guy'
• It's like Hogwarts if every house was Slytherin! Read any other book
• "Oh,Buffy, it's like we're sisters! With really different hair."

The Buffy Boys wade through the exotic and deadly jungles of deepest, darkest 'Cultural Appropriation' in S02E04 "Inca Mummy Girl". Vengeful human sacrifices - but make it fashion!

Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:

• Female agency and sacrifice - the 'chosen girl' across cultures
• An Eiffel Tower made entirely of cheese
• Speaker for the dead: ethical representation of cultures which no longer exist
• The burgeoning Oz and Willow romance, so pure and cute
• "My dad tried to sell me to some Armenians once. Does that count?"
