After a strong start to Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2, we hit our first speedbump. This episode might be the weakest in the series so far. The Scoobies feel like they’ve been replaced by pod people, and everything just feels “off.” Xander reverts to his Season One antics, Cordelia seems to be suffering from some kind of head trauma, and (in what passes for a “bright spot” in this dismal affair) we meet a new fan favorite character… though you’d never be able to tell from how he’s introduced.

Do they have Twinkies in Peru?

Did Arik cross an unforgivable boundary in Ketyn’s bathroom?

Did Tommy Wiseau write and direct this episode?

The answers to these questions are better left alone on this week’s Major Slayage!

School, it turns out, is difficult for Buffy the Vampire Slayer in Season 2 Episode 3 “School Hard,” wherein Angel gets curious about playing for both teams, Spike shows up way earlier than Arik remembered, and Baby Steve Jobs is the victim of a hostile takeover. How did Drusilla move all her dolls... and a giant four poster bed!? Has Ketryn gone mad with power as the presiding judge of Buffy Court? Why are we recording so early?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2 Episode 1 “When She Was Bad" Review & Recap! 

We’re back back back back back again for Season Two of Major Slayage! In this week’s entry – the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Two premiere “When She Was Bad” – Buffy pulls a Beyoncé and dicthes the Scoobies to become a solo act, Xander ruins the concept of ice cream for Ketryn… and Apple has a new wunderkind CEO: The Annoying One! Where do Vampires get all their candles from? What does Ketryn think about when she’s punching focus pads? And just exactly how much does Arik love The Karate Kid franchise? The answers to these questions – as well as the results for Season One’s Best and Worst Dressed – on this week’s Major Slayage!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 11 “Out of Mind, Out of Sight” Review & Recap! 

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 11, (which turned out to be one of our favorite episodes of the season), Harmony takes up tumbling… Xander is still too scared to ride his skateboard, but carries it around like a prop… And we get the origin story for Veep’s Secret Service Agent Marjorie Palmiotti! Are Prom Queen and May Queen the same thing? When is prom? Is it prom? We’ll get nowhere near answering any of these questions on this week’s Major Slayage!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 10 “Nightmares” – Review, Recap & Roast!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer S1E10 “Nightmares” was something of a slog to get through. We know dreams don’t always make sense, but television shows should! Listen, not all nightmares are created Equal – Buffy being buried alive and turned into a Vampire is NOTHING compared to Cordelia’s frizzy hair and Willow’s stage fright! And move over, Anointed One, there’s a new creepy crap bag kid in town: (not) Joseph Gordon-Levitt… and Sunnydale ain’t big enough for the both of ya! Ketryn & Arik are the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, respectively, of Tangent Town as they talk about ANYTHING to avoid discussing this lackluster Buffy episode on this week’s Major Slayage!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 9 “The Puppet Show” Review & Recap! 

This week’s entry, Buffy the Vampire Slayer S1E9 “The Puppet Show,” was set up to be a goofy one, but we kind of loved it! The Scooby Gang faces off against a Wizard of Oz themed serial killer, Cordelia’s delusion reaches new heights, and – most shockingly – Sunnydale does appear to have a police force, after all! Will Giles be able to keep his job? Will Ketryn take comfort in the fact that Arik is incapable of sneaking up on her? Can Ket & Arik’s marriage survive Arik’s shocking confession? The answers to these questions – and nothing else – on this week’s Major Slayage!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 8 “I, Robot… You, Jane”” Review & Recap! 

Join us as we sink our teeth into an episode that is a return to campy form for Buffy’s first season, BTVS S1E8 “I, Robot… You, Jane.” Willow discovers the joys of cybering, Xander proves himself useful for a change… and move over Cordeila, there’s a new hottie in town: Jenny – Miss Calendar if ya nasty! Will Ketryn heed Giles’s command to come? (Hint, yes she will!) Will Arik ever pick up his f*@king socks!? (Spoiler alert: never!) How many more Sunnydale High students have to die before they close this place down? (Our guess – too many!) Remember to phrase your responses in the form of a question on this week’s Major Slayage!
