The Rewatcher: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

With most of the potentials out with Giles getting all Hokey-Pokey and shit, the Summers residence seems like it's about to have a few days of relative calm, but like clockwork, the shit hits the fan! Spike's chip starts firing off repeatedly, leaving him screaming in the basement and Buffy VERY concerned that it might be a series wrap for his hot tight little body. Meanwhile! Kennedy plays hookie from potential duty to sneak attack Willow with an impromptu date, but when the night ends with a kiss fuckshit is afoot as Willow turns into WARREN! OH NO! Rewatch, Listen & Laugh as we talk about what an INCREDIBLE actor Adam Busch is, we continue to beg @tommylenk to join us on the show, and we dig into a thoughtful discussion on why Kennedy is a big NO for us in this episode!

With Buffy's attention turned to educating the Potentials on all things slayer, Dawnie is left out of the fold. Willow receives word from the coven that a potential has been residing in Sunnydale and does a spell to locate her. When the spell bursts THROUGH Dawn, everyone is shook by the fact that Dawn might be a potential! Faced with the harsh reality that her life is inexorably changed, Dawn pops out for a nighttime stroll and is determined to protect a fellow student who was attacked by a vamp.  Rewatch, Listen, Laugh (and cry with Mikie) as we talk a perfectly written ending to the episode, Tom Lenk is charged, tried & convicted of stealing yet another scene, and WE SAY WHERE WE ARE HEADING FOR SEASON 2!

Now that the First has officially set its sights on removing the Slayer line in totality and formally waged war with Oogles the Ubervamp, the gang goes into recon & research mode. The Hellmouth (and the Summers' Residence by extension) are LOUSY with potential slayers-- with the emphasis on LOUSY because the amount of naysaying going on behind Buffy's back has KENNEDY looking like the best in class! Giles and Anya go on a walkabout in a hell dimension to get some intel as Buffy plots a way to give the potentials a wake up call AND position herself to get Spike out of Ooogles' cavern and into a place of safety. Rewatch, Listen & Laugh as Mikie offends all of Britain, Ash fixates on a Lizzie Maguire character, and Alaina has a genuinely good reaction to a pivotal Spuffy moment!

With their foe named for the season, Buffy and the Scoobs get all research-y 'n shit, but fuckery is afoot! Giles shows up with three slayers in waiting and grave news that the First wants to extinguish the whole Slayer line! YIKES! Meanwhile Oogles the Ubervamp mercilessly beats Spike and smiles a goofy grin that we can't help but love! Rewatch, Listen & Laugh as we talk about Juliets sexy violent dancing, Ash is horrified by gutters of the Pearl Jam variety, and Mikie shares his coming out story!

With the realization that SOMETHING is fucking with them, the Scoobs get into investigation mode! Spike is HANGRY, and while dipping to grab some animal blood Willow runs into Andrew! She brings him back to chez Summers. Anya and Xander hilariously volunteer as tribute to question the dweeb as Buffy keeps an eye on Spike. Rewatch, Listen & Laugh as we talk about bloody teats, our favorite moment concerning Stuffy assholes, and we BEG @tommylenk to come on the show!
