Prophecy Girls: A Buffy Rewatch Podcast

This is a rerelease of our June 2022 bonus episode where we covered “I Will Remember You.” Fear not, a fresh take on this episode is also in your feed just prior to this one. Watch the episode along with us, and then listen to Steph and Kara of three years ago!   Original episode notes   No, you are not hallucinating. We take a special road trip to LA, where Buffy is determined to confront Angel about his stalker-like yet heroic behaviour in “Pangs.” Of course, things don’t go as planned. When Angel suddenly becomes human again—mortal, vulnerable, but very much alive—he and Buffy have decisions to make. What does this mean for his hero’s journey? And can the broodiest vampire on Earth still brood, still be with Buffy, if he is just a mortal man?   Hear us discuss… * How much we miss Cordelia! * SMG and DB’s incredible acting * Just how much sex Buffy and Angel have in this ep. (So much.) * Doyle has the worst timing for exposition ever * Remember, this is all Xander’s fault   Trigger warning Sex   💬 SOCIAL MEDIA: * @prophecygirlspodcast on Instagram [https://instagram.com/prophecygirlspodcast], Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/prophecygirlspodcast], and TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@prophecygirlspodcast/] * @prophecy_girls on Twitter [https://twitter.com/prophecy_girls] * prophecygirls.ca [https://prophecygirls.ca/] ✉ Email us at prophecygirlspodcast@gmail.com [prophecygirlspodcast@gmail.com] Join us on Discord: https://prophecygirls.ca/discord [https://prophecygirls.ca/discord]   We love hearing from our listeners!   Support Prophecy Girls on Buy Me a Coffee [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/prophecygirls]!  Find Prophecy Girls merch at https://prophecygirls.ca/store [https://prophecygirls.ca/store]   🎬 PRODUCERS: Kyle [https://anchor.fm/buffygays/] Kala [https://www.instagram.com/leftofskeptic/] Erika [http://www.lalunevie.com/] Allison Nicola [http://buffyfest.blogspot.com/2009/04/buffyangel-episode-watching-guide.html] Tasha [https://www.tiktok.com/@appleseedus] Joshua [https://abundanthousingla.org/policyagenda/] Rickey [https://linktr.ee/rickeyz] Suzannah [https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/] Amie Kristi Kimmie Laura Bahia Brandon The Second James [https://www.instagram.com/the_second_james] Katie Clea

Something different: Steph and Kara watched “I Will Remember You” together and recorded their commentary. We start watching the episode at 06:11.   Watch along with us as Buffy visits Angel in Los Angeles for the first time. She’s not happy with him, but their fight is interrupted by a demon attack that accidentally transforms Angel into a human. At first, he and Buffy revel in his newfound sense and sensitivity. Yet Angel quickly realizes he’s not cut out for fighting evil in a mortal form, and he petitions the Powers That Be for a tragic do-over.   Hear us discuss… * The incredible lighting, blocking, and camera work * We continue to stan Mora for bringing Angel and Buffy together * Angel is still a hero in our eyes * The pathos of Angel and Buffy’s tragic story arc * Kara retracts all previous criticism of SMG’s tears!!   Trigger warning Sex   💬 SOCIAL MEDIA: * @prophecygirlspodcast on Instagram [https://instagram.com/prophecygirlspodcast], Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/prophecygirlspodcast], and TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@prophecygirlspodcast/] * @prophecy_girls on Twitter [https://twitter.com/prophecy_girls] * prophecygirls.ca [https://prophecygirls.ca/] ✉ Email us at prophecygirlspodcast@gmail.com [prophecygirlspodcast@gmail.com] Join us on Discord: https://prophecygirls.ca/discord [https://prophecygirls.ca/discord]   We love hearing from our listeners!   Support Prophecy Girls on Buy Me a Coffee [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/prophecygirls]!  Find Prophecy Girls merch at https://prophecygirls.ca/store [https://prophecygirls.ca/store]   🎬 PRODUCERS: Kyle [https://anchor.fm/buffygays/] Kala [https://www.instagram.com/leftofskeptic/] Erika [http://www.lalunevie.com/] Allison Nicola [http://buffyfest.blogspot.com/2009/04/buffyangel-episode-watching-guide.html] Tasha [https://www.tiktok.com/@appleseedus] Joshua [https://abundanthousingla.org/policyagenda/] Rickey [https://linktr.ee/rickeyz] Suzannah [https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/] Amie Kristi Kimmie Laura Bahia Brandon The Second James [https://www.instagram.com/the_second_james] Katie Clea

First, in the “Beer Bad” of the series, Detective Kate Lockley is stymied in her long-running investigation into mobster Little Tony until Angel lends a helping hand. A consultant with a talking stick has other ideas, however, and soon Kate’s entire precinct is trauma-dumping all over each other.   Then, Doyle’s wife rocks into town to serve papers, and her fiancé invites Doyle to his bachelor party. Doyle confides in Angel about his past, including how his demon half drove a wedge between him and his bride. Cordelia gets new shoes.   “The Bachelor Party” coverage starts at 53:25.   Hear us discuss… * Kate is bad at her job * We are obsessed with Angel’s disguise era * LA has white boy *vampire* gangs! * Angel causes so much property damage * We hope you got some closure, Doyle   Trigger warnings Fatphobia, misogyny   💬 SOCIAL MEDIA: * @prophecygirlspodcast on Instagram [https://instagram.com/prophecygirlspodcast], Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/prophecygirlspodcast], and TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@prophecygirlspodcast/] * @prophecy_girls on Twitter [https://twitter.com/prophecy_girls] * prophecygirls.ca [https://prophecygirls.ca/] ✉ Email us at prophecygirlspodcast@gmail.com [prophecygirlspodcast@gmail.com] Join us on Discord: https://prophecygirls.ca/discord [https://prophecygirls.ca/discord]   We love hearing from our listeners!   Support Prophecy Girls on Buy Me a Coffee [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/prophecygirls]!  Find Prophecy Girls merch at https://prophecygirls.ca/store [https://prophecygirls.ca/store]   🎬 PRODUCERS: Kyle [https://anchor.fm/buffygays/] Kala [https://www.instagram.com/leftofskeptic/] Erika [http://www.lalunevie.com/] Allison Nicola [http://buffyfest.blogspot.com/2009/04/buffyangel-episode-watching-guide.html] Tasha [https://www.tiktok.com/@appleseedus] Joshua [https://abundanthousingla.org/policyagenda/] Rickey [https://linktr.ee/rickeyz] Suzannah [https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/] Amie Kristi Kimmie Laura Bahia Brandon The Second James [https://www.instagram.com/the_second_james] Katie

First, Cordelia urges Angel to start charging for helping the helpless. A Doyle vision sets them on the case of Melissa, an office worker with an ex whose stalking game puts Spike to shame. Angel goes undercover to take the ex apart, only to find that the ex has beat him to it.   Then, when Cordy finds her dream apartment, it seems like her luck is changing. There’s just one, spectral problem: a previous tenant hasn’t quite vacated the premises. To complicate matters, Doyle’s debts have caught up to him. Angel is learning being a boss is harder when you have employees.   “Rm w/a Vu” coverage starts at 50:30.   Hear us discuss… * Angel, my guy, stop being so creepy * But never give up on your acting dream * So far the LA cops seem about as useful as Sunnydale’s * Whether Doyle is Xander-lite * Has Queen C fallen from grace in our eyes? * Steph has no complaints about how much we see Angel’s abs   Trigger warnings Abuse, body horror, stalking   💬 SOCIAL MEDIA: * @prophecygirlspodcast on Instagram [https://instagram.com/prophecygirlspodcast], Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/prophecygirlspodcast], and TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@prophecygirlspodcast/] * @prophecy_girls on Twitter [https://twitter.com/prophecy_girls] * prophecygirls.ca [https://prophecygirls.ca/] ✉ Email us at prophecygirlspodcast@gmail.com [prophecygirlspodcast@gmail.com] Join us on Discord: https://prophecygirls.ca/discord [https://prophecygirls.ca/discord]   We love hearing from our listeners!   Support Prophecy Girls on Buy Me a Coffee [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/prophecygirls]!  Find Prophecy Girls merch at https://prophecygirls.ca/store [https://prophecygirls.ca/store]   🎬 PRODUCERS: Kyle [https://anchor.fm/buffygays/] Kala [https://www.instagram.com/leftofskeptic/] Erika [http://www.lalunevie.com/] Allison Nicola [http://buffyfest.blogspot.com/2009/04/buffyangel-episode-watching-guide.html] Tasha [https://www.tiktok.com/@appleseedus] Joshua [https://abundanthousingla.org/policyagenda/] Rickey [https://linktr.ee/rickeyz] Suzannah [https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/] Amie Kristi Kimmie Laura Bahia Brandon The Second James [https://www.instagram.com/the_second_james] Katie

First, a vision from Doyle sends the newly formed Angel Investigations team into the heart of the LA nightclub scene. There, Angel meets a fierce ladycop hot on the tail of a serial killer who’s literally jumping the bones of its victims.   Then, Spike arrives in LA ahead of the Gem of Amara after Buffy rudely stole it from him over in Sunnydale. He’ll stop at nothing to get the gem, even if it means subjecting Steph to the sight of Angel chained up with no shirt on. Oh no. How awful.   “In the Dark” coverage starts 58:00. Hear us discuss: * Somehow, this is all Toth’s fault * Our first penis monster of the series already!! * We’re not impressed with our first look at Kate * Spike is better as a villain, don’t try to change our mind * They better pay for the repairs to Oz’s van * Should Angel have kept the Gem of Amara?   Trigger warnings Body horror, domestic violence, immolation, misogyny, torture, violence against women   💬 SOCIAL MEDIA: * @prophecygirlspodcast on Instagram [https://instagram.com/prophecygirlspodcast], Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/prophecygirlspodcast], and TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@prophecygirlspodcast/] * @prophecy_girls on Twitter [https://twitter.com/prophecy_girls] * prophecygirls.ca [https://prophecygirls.ca/] ✉ Email us at prophecygirlspodcast@gmail.com [prophecygirlspodcast@gmail.com] Join us on Discord: https://prophecygirls.ca/discord [https://prophecygirls.ca/discord]   We love hearing from our listeners!   Support Prophecy Girls on Buy Me a Coffee [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/prophecygirls]!  Find Prophecy Girls merch at https://prophecygirls.ca/store [https://prophecygirls.ca/store]   🎬 PRODUCERS: Kyle [https://anchor.fm/buffygays/] Kala [https://www.instagram.com/leftofskeptic/] Erika [http://www.lalunevie.com/] Allison Nicola [http://buffyfest.blogspot.com/2009/04/buffyangel-episode-watching-guide.html] Tasha [https://www.tiktok.com/@appleseedus] Joshua [https://abundanthousingla.org/policyagenda/] Rickey [https://linktr.ee/rickeyz] Suzannah [https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/] Amie Kristi Kimmie Laura Bahia Brandon The Second James [https://www.instagram.com/the_second_james] Katie
