Meat Me At The Double Meat Palace: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E12

Our episode kicks off with some exposition: Willow explains to Xander and Anya that Buffy was unable to catch Team Losers because they cleared out of their lair after the Slayer found out their identities. She and Willow managed to recover a slew of magical and technological items, but not the ne’er-do-wells themselves. Anya launches into a capitalistic rant, and this sees Buffy enter the … Continue reading Meat Me At The Double Meat Palace: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E12

Rest In Peace Michelle Trachtenberg: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E11

As I write this, we are just a few hours out from the tragic death of Michelle Trachtenberg. She was just 39 years old, and she has no business no longer being with us at such a young age. Tell the people you care about that you love them as often as you can. Before you enjoy this article, take a moment of silence for … Continue reading Rest In Peace Michelle Trachtenberg: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E11

DARE To Keep Kids Off Magic!: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E10

Dawn and Tara wake up at seven A.M and discover no one else is in the house. Buffy and Willow never came home from their late night shenanigans from the night before! We cut to Buffy waking up with Spike. They don’t recall the building collapsing on them, and Spike implies they had sex at least twice.

Mr. Chen, Child Prodigy: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E9

With all the whacky hi-jinx of amnesia left behind in last episode, we open today’s BTVS with Buffy coming across a simple, non-supernatural mugging. She starts kicking the muggers’ asses, but then Spike intervenes, causing a jolt of pain from his implant when he tackles one of the ne’er-do-wells. He asks Buffy if she wants to help get his rocks off, but she declines and … Continue reading Mr. Chen, Child Prodigy: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E9

Bunnymania!: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E8

With the sing-song episode left in the rearview mirror, I worry I have nothing left to look forward to except a season-and-a-half of episodes which I’m told are not very good. But I endeavor to finish the series and move on, so here we are! We kick things off, as we so often do, with Buffy out at nighttime in a cemetery. She doesn’t appear … Continue reading Bunnymania!: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E8

Mustard!: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E7

Okay, here is the episode I keep hearing so much about, so let’s get into it. “Once More With Feeling” kicks off with an old-timey opening credits with the characters faces transposed over an image of the moon while their actor names are in a red, sitcom-y font next to them. The song that plays is even a jingly bastardization of the typical Nerf Herder … Continue reading Mustard!: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E7

Naughty Colloquialisms: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E5-6

Episode 5 Episode 5 kicks off with Buffy bringing home fried chicken. This is mundane and uninspired, and I ALMOST considered not even noting it until Willow delivered the line “I’m a breast girl”, then turned to Tara and said “But then again, you knew that”, and I laughed and laughed. And that’s not actually sarcasm; I actually did have a solid L.O.L. at that … Continue reading Naughty Colloquialisms: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E5-6
