Welcome to Once More, With Spoilers, where Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs revisit every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one at a time — for the SECOND time! — this time discussing each episode with spoilers!

We are currently conducting a survey to determine what, definitively, IS the greatest love of all… Is it our collective love for the hilarity and chaos of campy season one Monster-of-the-Week episodes? Is it Principal Snyder’s love of hating the children he is charged with educating? Is it Xander’s love of Chocolate Hurricanes? Is it our love for the fact that this is the only episode of Buffy that features a ventriloquist’s dummy? Is it a father’s — I mean Watcher’s — love for his daughter — I mean Slayer? Or are all of these tied for second place, and is the GREATEST love of all our love for Cordelia???

Lay back, relax, and let us strap you in to our guillotine for Season 1, Episode 9, “The Puppet Show.”

Online dating can be MURDER, am I right?! Moloch has entered the chat (literally), Jenny Calendar has entered the chat (figuratively… and also literally), Buffy goes undercover, Willow engages in the type of romance that’s swiftly becoming the Scooby standard (brief, violent, supernatural), and we’re all left wondering if that’s not where it dangles… where EXACTLY does it dangle???

Thanks for logging on to Season 1, Episode 8, “I, Robot... You, Jane.” If you’re not jacked in, you’re not alive.

Welcome to Once More, With Spoilers, where Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs revisit every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one at a time — for the SECOND time! — this time discussing each episode with spoilers!

It is TIME for BUFFY and ANGEL to KISS!! TWICE!!! Which means it is *also* time for Joanna Robinson to guest host with us! We will discuss the first kiss, which ends in Angel throwing himself out the bedroom window. We will discuss the drama that ensues, which ends in Angel being thrown out of the living room window. And we will discuss the final kiss, which ends in Angel feeling that kind of pain that can only come from being a vampire in love with a giant-cross wearing vampire Slayer — that burning, searing, sizzling kind of D E S I R E and P A S S I O N.

Yes, it is Season 1, Episode 7, "Angel."

So happy to be here with you all.

Sure, FINE, maybe we need to deal with some Anointed One rising from the ashes of five or whatever, but have you SEEN WHAT A HUNK OWEN IS?!?! Surely seems like he should be allowed some of our focus despite any pending apocalypses.

We are here this week to discuss Buffy's "Never Kill A Boy on the First Date," and also to implore the residents of Sunnydale to do a better job blockading their doors when vampires or demons descend (leave the floor lamps and the couch pillows out of this!!).

You CLEARLY know that feeling when you develop a crush on your new substitute teacher who then turns out to be a giant praying mantis, right?!?! A high school rite of passage. Today we get to revel in all of the glory that is Ms. French aka the She-Mantis as we cover Buffy's S1E4 "Teacher's Pet" for the second time... this time with spoilers. *The* episode that spawned the legacy of Buffering's praying mantis mask. What a day.

Buffy is grounded, we’ve got a cymbal decapitation, Giles is taking his glasses off, and Luke — may his precious biceps rest in peace — is giving us the gayest shit we have ever seen. We love it *almost* as much as Darla. It’s S1E2 “The Harvest”… once more with spoilers!!!
