Earth-2.net Presents...

It's the ninth episode, and the second season of Buffy ends not with a whimper, but with a punch to the gut. In this episode The Heroes debate the relative merits of Xander being a dickbag, discuss how Buffy loses and then subsequently gets her groove back, and perhaps the greatest alliance of this show to date is formed. Oh, and also, zombie kitties. Preston and Hannah top off season two with "Becoming" (parts 1 and 2), and then skim the surface of season three with "Anne" and "Dead Man's Party." Stop on in, have some hot chocolate, and have your heart ripped out.

It's a huge episode of Dread Media as Darryll takes over! First Darryll talks to Steampunk artist Kyle Miller about T-Pain, furniture, and Back to the Future! Then he is joined by Desmond, first to wax philosophic on the post-apocalypse in their review of Stake Land, and then to talk about The Avengers and 3D vs. 2D in a pseudo-Roadkill Review of Captain America! But, wait! There's more! Songs a plenty: "Steam Rising" by Murder by Death, "Nightmare" by T-Pain, "Children of the Night" by Calabrese, "Coma America" by Amen, and "Earth Died Screaming" by Tom Waits.

With a plot about an alien attempting to eradicate all life on Earth, "The Visitation" is a rather rote Doctor Who story. However, the serial is saved by Richard Mace (AKA Mr. Awesome), who Mike suggests might be related to another one-off companion from one of Tom Baker's most beloved stories. Then, in the two-part "Black Orchid," The Doctor is accused of murder, and a family secret prevents someone from corroborating The Doctor's alibi. Before all that, however, Chris Johnson drops by to deliver a segment that highlights the ups and downs of the recently ended Tom Baker era. (Said segment runs from 8:14 to 48:03.)

Preston and Michelle present another edition of Comics Character Crash Course, this time about Todd McFarlane's Spawn!
