Buffy the Vampire Straya

The Buffy 'Straya gang agree that we are in a sweet spot of Buffy watching with good episode after good episode, although Chris likes it more once he realises that it's not a response to America's gun violence but just poorly timed, and in fact had a delayed broadcast due to a famous school shooting. And of course, finally... it's time for another BUFFY JUMP! And Megan confesses that she watched this episode on her phone at the last minute, but finally saw a non-HD episode and remembered just how much better the visuals are pre-remaster.

Season 3, Episode 17: Enemies. Chris is well and truly on board the Buffy train now and is noticing that season 3 is just banger after banger! Especially this one with the crazy plot twist. Megan and Mabel enjoyed living this episode vicariously through Chris since they already knew the twist. The gang continues to contemplate Faith's character development, and Mabel explains her latest theory on the black market for global demonic travel.

Season 3, Episode 16: Doppelgangland. The Buffy Straya gang throw all restraint to the wind in this very quotable episode and basically do everything but recite the whole script verbatim. Everyone agrees the episode is great, but Chris's slightly milder reaction suggests this one might be EVEN better on the rewatch. The extra CGI in the episode doesn't do the HD version any favours and Mabel is extra thankful to be the only one in the gang still on the DVDs.

Season 3, Episode 15: Consequences. Chris, Mabel and Megan all agree that Wesley is the worst this episode, although Megan and Mabel disagree with Chris that any of his or the council's actions are justified. Mabel and Chris guess this week's Name that Minor Character well in advance, noting it ticks two out of three of Megan's favourite boxes. And most importantly, THE GANG GET ANOTHER ANCHOR VOICE MESSAGE!!! Most exciting!

Season 3, Episode 14: Bad Girls. Chris, Mabel and Megan have mixed feelings about this episode with Mabel and Megan recalling their feelings when they first watched and how that differs now. Chris is disappointed that Megan didn't pick the right name that minor character this episode but she redeems herself when her choice is revealed. Megan also has some internet issues which cause a few momentary glitches!

Season 3, Episode 13 Zeppo. Chris almost had to take the lead in this one since he was noticing scenes (and even hairstyles!) better than Megan and Mabel, who both guiltily admitted they were a little checked out when watching the episode. It may have been a bit of a slow burn for those two rewatching the episode for the zillionth time, but the whole Buffy Straya gang came together to thoroughly enjoy the second half of the episode where it all starts to come together. Chris is shocked and speechless when it comes to what Faith does now that she's back, and Megan and Mabel end up choosing the same thing to win the episode. Can you guess what they chose?

Season 3, Episode 12 Helpless. The Buffy Straya gang bond over what they can all agree is a great episode. Chris struggles to identify the mysterious green liquid that Oz consumes at the start of the episode. The bad guy (or arguably the bad guy's weapon) looks terribly familiar to everyone, especially to Mabel, and thankfully Megan clears up why during 'Name that Minor Character'. The gang rush to wrap up this week's episode within a short timeframe but manage to squeeze everything in including a very time efficient Megan Moment.

Season 3, Episode 11 Gingerbread. Once again, the Buffy Straya gang start out with divided feelings about this episode, though the split is exactly opposite to last episode. This time Mabel is the one who loves it while Megan and Chris need some convincing. After seeing Hansel and Gretel come to life, the gang speculates about what other fairytales might have demonic roots and come to some pretty affirmative conclusions.

Season 3, Episode 10 Amends. 'Tis the season to be... haunted by the ghosts of your guilty past? The Buffy Straya gang start out mostly divided on this one, with Megan and Chris both loving the seasonal Christmas episode, and Mabel not really in the mood for it. Fortunately they all come together to agree that Sarah Michelle Gellar's fringe wasn't on anyone's wishlist. Megan manages to blow both Mabel AND Chris's mind with a fun fact about future seasons while cleverly avoiding any spoilers for Chris.

Season 3, Episode 9 The Wish. The Buffy Straya gang marvels at the industrial ingenuity of The Master and his blood factory, although they agree that the execution of his vision was unfortunately inefficient as far as automation goes. Chris and Mabel disagree about the quality of alternate-Buffy's face scar, and Megan struggles to keep the conversation on track as Mabel insists on jumping back and forth all over the episode. Through the discussion Megan astutely draws profound connections between the theme of the episode and how it relates to Faith's storyline and absence in this episode.
