This week on Buffy and the Art of Story: The Dark Age (Season 2 Episode 8 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer):

This podcast episode covers (1) external conflict that causes Buffy and Giles to grow; (2) whether The Dark Age is a Coming of Age story; and (3) what makes a character the protagonist.

As always, the discussion is spoiler-free, except at the end (with plenty of warning).
