Unspoiled! Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Another year, another great LosCon!
This time we covered Rogue One, and Money friggin loved it! Bitches hated it. So we are officially broken up for good again.

Money was super into the stories of the heroes that don't get mdeal ceremonies, the ones who don't get remembered. Bitches thought it was trite and unecessary.

Thanks again to LosCon for hosting us`!

Come see us next year!

Hey there listeners, sorry I'm late with this one.
In Sunnydale, we have the orgasm house, and Mrs. Landingham is the bay guy. Didn't see that one coming. Bitches & I pontificate on the utility of an orgasm spot on the wall, and what that would do to dating. Also, the right pairing is Anyanka and Spike.
As for Angel, Faith shows up, and after some bullshit trying to "contain" her, with Wesley rightfully not trusting her. Wolfram & Hart are trying to tie up their loose end in Faith, but they are thwarted of course- really, W&H is my favorite character in this series.
And Faith turns herself in. So it's pretty obvious at this point that Faith is going to go on a journey of self-discovery and ultimately come back as a good guy. Which I'm not a fan of, I much prefer wild card, chaotic neutral Faith.

I like Jonathon. More of him please. Also more discussions on free will when wishes are possible.
I forgot this bitch's name again, though. Whatever. Angel sucked.

It's time for some more Buffyverse.
 
We get the return of two blasts from the pasts- Faith is awake, and fucking shit up. I'm not big on the Adam storyline- he's just not compelling enough of a villain. But add to that drama the pressure of Faith around a fucking shit up, the show gets that much more tense.
 
As for Angel, the interesting part of this episode is the flashbacks. We get to see how Darla changed Angel and how he took care of his family. The present-day stuff is rather unnecessary, but it's pretty good (though Bitches disagrees). This is the Kate I want to see, hard-edged, takes no shit. Even in the face of her father's getting killed she still shows no fear. A proto-Debra Morgan.

Shit's going down on Buffy.
 
Walsh is dead, and the Initiative is in chaos. They are steal teasing me with the maybe-lesbianism. Buffy looks hot in a labcoat and glasses, and Riley is off his meds.
 
Also, the return of Willy the Snitch.
 
As for Angel, we go to some dark places, a kid is possessed by a demon, but there's a particularly earth-shattering twist in the mix. Also he says some terrifying words thrown at poor Wesley. Is that character development for him?

Yay! Some good episodes! Good pick-me-up from last week's fustercluck.

Angel meets a few demons from another dimension, one that has super creepy, abusive gender norms. But Bai Ling really sells it, even though the put some latex titties on and a window to view them. Could do without the hornyness making women explode, though.

Shit blows up at the Initiative, too. Dr. Walsh decides Buffy is too risky (because you don't know how to effectively allocate and use your assets, dumbass) and tries to sabotage her and get her killed. Also she doesn't do something simple like send Riley on a rescue mission. I'm super disappointed in this arc. Also Spike gets darted and Anyanka doesn't know how to play cards.

We hates it.
Giles gets turned into a demon and Cordy gets knocked up by one.
We talk about pussies. Three-legged and otherwise.

Buffy is having some relationship trouble. Mostly, she doesn't seem to understand how important it is to have a boyfriend who lives in her world. I've made my feelings about the age difference known already, but honestly, this is probably the best arrangement to be found, romantically. Also someone tries to open the hellmouth again. I don't know why.
Angel has to come out to Kate in his episode, and let's be honest, the writers don't seem to be very good at Kate. Considering Wheadon is known for writing strong women . . . they are really dropping the ball here. Kate is a strong and independent woman, except when she's not. She tough and hard and knows how to focus, unless the plot requires melancholy from her to create tension. IT's nuts. Get your shit together.

I liked both of these episodes, I promise. They just have some discontinuity that bothers me.

We spend about half the episode of Buffy without a word being said. This is good stuff, y'all! Also Riley actually starts to be interesting and memorable. Anyanka and Xander have some much-needed relationship solidification. Also there's demons on invisible segways.
Meanwhile in LA, Cordy comes to the realization that Doyle gave her something she didn't want. Also there's a demon Syler on the prowl, and the return of Weasel, who has learned exactly nothing in all this time.
