GIIIILES!! in this episode we discuss what kind of avatar benders each buffy character would be, as well as the show's idea of consequences and stains. we also touch on the fact that ethan is just an uncool version of spike (who we miss dearly.)

"does this episode deliver?""what do you want me to say?""lie to me.""yes, it is everything you could want in a buffy episode. the editing choices make sense. the romantic relationships are well-thought-out and interesting, and we always care about them and want them to stay together. no one ever has inconsistent character development and the camera definitely doesn't focus on one part of buffy's bangs when it should be focused on her face.""liar."

on this sure to be a classic episode of buffy speak we discuss chambray, the social differences between the late 90s and today, and beth basically LOSES HER MIND over caroline's dad's brother's name. also xander is actually bearable here!! forget halloween, it's basically christmas!

today we go over angel and buffy's relationship (bangel if you're into that sort of thing), pirates of the caribbean 2, and wonder where exactly this frat boy lizard demon came from (but like seriously where did it come from? WHO IS HE)

today's episode brings commiseration over YET ANOTHER XANDER EPISODE!!! with the added bonus of some weird cultural appropriation. join us as we talk about sexy shark costumes, empanadas, and other nonsense. where is spike?!?

SPIKE!!! in our favorite guy's first appearance, we wax poetic about Snyder, or The New Xander, wonder exactly how oblivious joyce has to be to not know her daughter is an ass-kicking demon murderer, and mourn the most pointless villain on this show, the anointed one. also SPIKE!!!!!!

beth and caroline try and find literally anything else to talk about but buffy due to this incredibly mediocre episode. such topics include the box trolls, bathroom escapades, and probably some other things.

SEASON TWO BABY! we're back and pretty much the same as we were before, except for now beth has good audio quality and caroline doesn't. time truly is a flat circle as today we continue our weekly talks about xander's inconsistency, cordelia being amazing, and beth makes yet another buffy/harry potter comparison. welcome back!!!

WOOOOAH since we both love harry potter, we've decided to upload one HP-focused episode after every season of buffy we finish! what a great time! on the first volume, we get all those burning harry potter questions out of the way. what houses are we in? how do you pronounce anamagi? was dumbledore implicit in the murder of sirius black? all this and more on the first edition of POTTERSPEAK

in a Very Special episode of buffy speak, we have our first guest! princess weekes (@MelinaPendulum) joins us to talk with us about her favorite episode of this season, xander's weirdness, and whether or not vampires poop. so long, season one!
