“Don’t believe everything you’re foretold.”

Penny, Sam and Kara come together to talk about what’s in the box. Along the way, they veer into some great tangents, including Djo, Y2K makeup and fashion trends, To Live and Die in L.A., Doctor Who, Edna Mode and the impracticality of capes, Afroman, CPTSD, queer subtext, Buffyverse alums who appear on Supernatural, bystander effect, the Universal Signal for Help, The Good Place, and binary thinking. 

We’re going to be on a hiatus for a few weeks. We’ll be back in May covering the 1998 movie “Blade,” starring Wesley Snipes, before digging into the next seasons of Buffy and Angel, starting with Angel season 2, episode 1, “Judgement.”

“Evil white folks really do have a Mecca.”

Penny and Sam have a lot of laughs digging into this Lindsey-focused episode about the struggle between morals and the pursuit of power. Along the way, the conversation ranges through computer tropes on tv, grooming, evil Sheldon Cooper, scarcity mind set, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, redemption versus escape, law firm culture, career tracks, Andor, and heist tropes. 

Next time, we’ll be covering Angel season 1, episode 22, “To Shanshu in LA,” the finale.

It’s full spoilers for most of the episode and Penny, Kara and Becky pick apart the interrelated dream sequences of the Scooby Gang.

“Xander, just because this is never gonna work there’s no need to be negative.”

“You know, for someone who's got "Watcher" on his résumé, you might want to cast an eye to the front door every now and again.”

“For a taciturn shadowy guy, I've got a big mouth.”

Dodie returns, and she and Penny sink their fangs into this meaty episode of pain and redemption. The conversation ranges from 12 step programs to words hurting more than fists and along the way takes some tangents into the U.S. foster care system, the unrealized Faith spinoff, Tru Calling, Dollhouse, Pluribus, and ancient pigments.

“I hate failure when there's no one else to blame it on.”

Sam and Penny revel in the chaos of Faith in Los Angeles, appreciating the fashion, anger, sultriness, violence, anger and darkness while finding their way to a discussion of buses, danceclubs, what makes a great villain great, the depiction of lawyers, Christian Kane’s music, urban fantasy, torture, 24, Criminal Minds, Veronica Mars, and the Stanford Prison Experiment.

"Talk later. Stealthy escape now."

The Scooby Duo, Penny and Kara get political discussing this landmark episode and its themes of bigotry, anarchy and identity. The conversation stretches and bends to include moon phases, bi-erasure, coming out, words, Bigotry, Oz love, fatphobia, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, mature and healthy breakups, Anarchism, great on-screen villains, fantasy casting for Iceman in the MCU, leather pants and coats, and the Breakfast of Champions.
