Buffy the Vampire Straya

The creepiest Angel episode yet, which is what makes it also the best so far... or does it? The Buffy Straya gang is unsure as they continue to navigate these early episodes of Angel - the cop show that is now finally beginning to feature an actual cop in it. This week's name that minor character may or may not have already been featured in the main Buffy podcast, but who can remember that sort of detail (please let us know).

Mini-crossover this episode with special guest appearances from Oz and Spike! The Buffy Straya gang are reminded of the stupid superpower of the Amara ring and Megan and Mabel have to reschool Chris on Slayer lore when they discuss the death of Kendra and Faith's coma.. but it's definitely an Angel episode.. promise! :)

Happy New Year Buffy Strayans! Our gift to you to kick off the year is the release on the main Pod of all our Season 1 Angel Episodes - one a day for the next few weeks!

Kicking things off:

Season 1 Episode 2: This week the Buffy Straya gang lament the poor quality of these early Angel episodes, although, of course, Megan finds a way to relate as always! Chris is still struggling with the opening music and Mabel has an accidental cross-over with her other, sex-related podcast. Enjoy!

Season 4, episode 22: Restless

So.. was season 4 all just a dream..? Alas no, but perhaps it left you feeling a bit restless? Not unlike this very strange yet wonderful season finale episode!

The Buffy Straya gang talk at length about probably one of the most unique season finales in television history, and definitely one of the best dream representations ever done. This is not a short podcast episode, but perhaps something to tide you over the cold winter (or the desperately hot summer if you're down under like us).

We lightly touch on the problematic representation of The First Slayer, though at the risk of being yet another Tara speaking on behalf of a silenced woman of colour, there are most definitely other voices than ours worth listening to on this topic (see link below, though be wary of spoilers!).

Season 4, episode 21: Primeval.

Oh boy. This was a tough one guys. Probably the Buffy Straya Gang's least favourite episode yet! Hopefully our chat is more entertaining than this episode was for us! Bring on the Season Finale!

Season 4, episode 20: The Yoko Factor.

This episode is Helter Skelter.. And not the good kind! It went Here There and Everywhere. But Now and Then had Something to enjoy - namely when the gang Come Together at the end and Twist and Shout at each other. Looks like Buffy will need to get by without A Little Help from her Friends.

Season 4, episode 19: New Moon Rising.

In the famous words of Creedence Clearwater Revival:

I see a new moon a-risin'

I see trouble on the way

I see werewolves and fightin'

I see Buffy Straya times today

Don't go out tonight

Well it's bound to take all night

There's a new ep on the rise.. (and it's a long one)

Season 4, episode 18: Where the Wild Things Are. We did it again! We disappeared on you all - but now we are back! And unfortunately we are kicking things off with the horniest episode of Buffy ever made, and which totally made our skin crawl. Thankfully all the other characters had interesting storylines and fun lines so we could mostly ignore Buffy and Riley!

Season 4, episode 17: Superstar. It's a Jonathan episode!!! The Buffy Straya gang has nothing but good things to say about being flung 'Into the Jonathan-Verse' and nothing but bad things to say about Adam (as usual). Fortunately there was a lot more Jonathan than Adam in this episode. Chris had no idea what was happening but came out with a newfound respect and admiration for Jonathan. As usual, Megan had a couple of runner-ups for 'Name that Minor Character' especially when an old one reappears by surprise!

Season 4, Episode 16: Who Are You?

A question our fans may be asking after another extended hiatus!
