All good things come to an end... and that includes the run of outstanding Buffy Episodes we've covered over the past several weeks. Don't get us wrong, Earshot isn't "bad" (it's no "Inca Mummy Girl" or "Go Fish"), it's just kind of... meh. No Mayor, no Faith, some really uncomfortable commentary about school shootings, and an unwelcome return to Season One's detective procedural mode where the clues don't quite add up. But we suppose we were due for a lightweight episode before we launch into the climax of what, so far, has been the hands-down best season of Buffy.

All will be revealed on this week's Major Slayage!

Our streak of really great Buffy episodes continues this week with "Enemies." Faith loses her way (or does she?), Angel loses his soul again (or does he?), and Buffy just wants a break! Ketryn actually got pretty emotional discussing this one.

In a rare treat, this week's Buffy episode features nearly EVERY major character (except Joyce), as well as the return of a pair of fan favorites -- Anya, and Vamp Willow from the Wishverse! There's nothing better than a Buffy episode that fires on all cylinders, and this one does the trick. And for extra spice, while Ketryn may have recovered from Covid, she's still got a bit of a case of "Covid Brain!"

This week's Buffy episode was one of our favorites! It had just about everything: A charismatic monster-of-the-week, sapphic flirtation, one of the most iconic dance sequences in television history... and virtually noting for for Xander, Willow, Cordelia, or Oz to do. With the addition of Buffy & Faith's new buttoned-up watcher, there just isn't enough screen time to go around. Not that we're complaining. We break it all down for you in this week's Major Slayage!

One of the things about reviewing a fantasy show like Buffy the Vampire Slayer is that it's so far-fetched and fanciful, it provides an escape from the awfulness of the real world. Nothing like that could happen to us... RIGHT!?

Check out this week's Major Slayage to find out what happens when a married pair of theater dork Buffy fans starts getting real.
