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! https://loscon.org/45/memberships/...
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 t...
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...
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 s...
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...
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.
First, I'm sorry guys, I need to apologize for you being able to hear every car that drove by. My mic sensitivity was way too high. Second, I really liked this Buffy episode, not only because it was fun, lighthearted, and interesting, but also because I was right, Willow is headed down a dark path if she doesn't correct herself, and she doesn't seem disciplined enough to really control her witchcraft. I think this could be real trouble down the road. Also I don't know how I feel about Spike, wea...
I don't even want to write about these. Angel is just the worst. He is everything I hate about immature men with savior complexes. Buffy is dealing with shit and he shows up, and not only does he "protect" (she's fucking fine) but he tries to do it without her finding out, and he ropes all her friends into it. And that gets at the heart of what Angel wants. It's not that he wants to brood and suffer, he wants the world to see him brood and suffer and feel like he's such an amazing dude that does...
YAAAAAAAASSSSS! So in Buffy we find out who is behind the scary dudes in ski masks. I didn't see Walsh and Riley coming. But it's so nice to see tht there's a broader world going on, and not everything revolves around Buffy. Spike is back, too, and he's got a big problem. His fangs don't work. I'm not sure I'm into the lazy boner-humor here, but whatever. And this episode doesn't wrap everything up, which is good, as this show needs to let its storylines breathe. As for Angel, we have an interes...
Sorry for the audio quality, y'all, I'm on the road. One good episode and one disappointing one. Let's face it, as much as I like Oz, his relationship with Willow is not satisfying on a narrative level. So this is actually a good way to get Oz off the show. And I totally called it. Veruca is a werewolf. The show also seems to have realized that you don't need everyone in the show to have something to do. Buffy, Xandar, and Giles make appearances that serve the plot, but they don't overstay their...
So, guys, I don't see why everyone hates this episode. Maybe it's because I'm just not down for attempts at pathos for Buffy getting dumped? The storyline with Parker was so nicely wrapped up- Willow calls him on his bullshit and Buffy punches him in the head. That's super satisfying. And yeah, it's stupid, but there's a lot of stupid stuff in this show that takes itself way too seriously and forgets to have fun. This was fun. Also Kal Penn was cute once. As for Angel, this was a good episode, b...
Gross things these episodes: 1. Giles' Halloween Costume 2. Oz shaking blood everywhere. 3. Spiders. 4. Willow getting hugged by 10,000 fireflies. 5. Squashing porn. 6. Stalkers. 7. Cordy dropping the R word. 8. Ronald with the worst superpower ever. 9. Angel's torture face.
So, two people from Buffy's past are back- Spike and (gasp) Harmony! They are looking for something, another MacGuffin, but this time, it makes Vampires invincible? Hard to see why this wasn't a priority for all the others who crawled around Sunnydale. I mean, I get it, they hadn't thought of it yet. Also Harmony is just as bad as an undead mean girl. Spike is not himself, though, and seems more abusive than entertaining. There's a showdown in broad daylight, and Buffy manages to snag the ring. ...
I don't like Buffy in this episode. Seriously, she's passive aggressive and spoiled. Kathy is at least well-meaning at first, but this kind of roommate war is just too much. Kids, talk about boundaries and be rational about your living situation. I liked this episode, but I'm not big on the fact that Buffy was right about everything, so she doesn't have to examine her behavior to be more of an adult. As for Angel, he's hunting a serial killer, this time with the hurdle of Elisabeth Rohm in his w...
We're baaaaaaaaaccccckkkkk! It's been a few weeks since we covered Buffy, and Money gets back and finds there's a spinoff! Buffy and (most of) the gang are at UC Rancho Cucamonga, and the episode does a good job of conveying the angst and terror of being a kid away from home for the first time. Naturally there's a group of vampires hanging out on campus, because Buffy can never get a break. Also Sunday is my favorite vampire so far (suck it, Spike!). Angel, however, decides to start his own busi...
It's time for the season Finale of Buffy! First off, I need to apologize for the audio quality. Crowdcast really screwed us, and we will not be using them in the future. Thanks to Austin for cleaning this up somewhat. The big day has arrived, and the mayor has to eat his spiders. Eww. Faith is doing what she can to fuck up the good guy's plans, and that means shooting Angel with a poisoned arrow. The only solution, however, is the blood of a slayer. Luckily they have a spare slayer on hand, one ...
Roshawn joins us! We get Faith being terrible, as she tends to be, and a weird gambit for a box full of spiders. Why spiders? Because this is Buffy, that's why. Plus more flirtations between Weasel and Cordelia. The mayor is trying to Ascend, whatever that means, and that involves getting into Buffy and Angel's heads about the nfuture of their relationship. And not only is he not wrong, he's fucking right. These two are not good together. Break up already. Also, the prom comes along, and we get ...
Time for some more Buffy! I gotta be honest, this first episode pissed me off something fierce. I've said before how I'm not a fan of Faith's decent into evil, and despite all of Bitches trying to explain it to me, I'm not buying it. Her behavior seems forced and not consistent, and we get mologuing as exposition instead of character traits introduced earlier that would explain this. I like the idea of Faith going rogue. I don't like the execution. Add tot that the pseudo-reemergence of Angelus,...
We have the return of alternate universe Willow, and I can't get enough of her. Anyanka is angry that she's a normal human now, stuck in the body of a Socal teenager. She needs her powers back, and the goat demon isn't playing along. So she approaches the only witch she knows, Willow. Michael is nowhere to be found and Amy is still a rat. so Willow seems to be the senior witch on the scene. She needs to make a rift in the space-time continuum to get her amulet back, and that goes as well as one ...
I don't want to give the impression that I didn't like this character arc for Faith- the decent from Chaotic Good to Chaotic Neutral/Evil is a wonderful development for this show, which despite being almost *good* at this point, is stil stagnating as far as the status quo is concerned. I'm just not buying the particular actions Faith takes during her decent- they feel forced rather than organic. But to recap, Faith is reckless and she's rubbing off on Buffy. She dives into problems head first an...
Somehow this show made me enjoy a full episode of Xandar. Maggie Benzvi joins us for another round of Buffy! And we discuss vagina glue, fetishes, and ice skating. As for the episodes . . . Buffy is having Daddy issues because her father doesn't show for her birthday. Meanwhile Giles is preparing for a test for the Slayer- depowering her and tossing her in a walled-up house with a vampire who was a serial killer before he was turned. And I'm not a fan of what the watchers are up to- this seems l...
Ms. Calendar returns as an apparition, along with a couple of other victims from Angel's past. Also, there's a pitchfork mob. The first episode is pretty Meh. I was intrigued by the flashbacks to Angel's adventures, and wished we could have spent an entire episode int here, just learning what the hell went on during all those years. But Buffy is forced to share Angel's dreams/memories. I've said before that I'm not a fan of Angel at all, but that's mostly of brooding, mopey angel of the present ...
This is what I'm here for! We get Spike returning because Drusilla has broken his heart. Which doesn't surprise me, as she's not really the monogamous type. Spike is your regular ridiculous boy who can't understand that the relationship is over, and he wants a love potion to make her love him again. And yet he still seems to be the most emotionally mature person here. His cunning plan involves kidnapping Willow and getting her to cast a love spell, and Xander because he happens to be in the same...
Buffy is in deep shit. In our first episode, Principal Snyder has drafted everyone into fundraising for band uniforms. Snyder is a tool, though, as the mayor has a nefarious plot to drug all the townsfolk with overpriced chocolate, making them regress to middle-school age, without a care in the world and forgetting what adulting is. This was a super fun episode, mostly because Anthony Stewart Head generally plays the role of Giles like he's being asked to work on Sunday without overtime. But now...
Back with two episodes of Buffy! The first one is nothing to write home about. Once again we have an uncomfortable abusive relationship, and that really goes nowhere. There is a bit of a red herring in that the prime suspect is Oz- but honestly they need to fire whoever made that costume. Why didn't they use the one from last season? He looks like a Geico caveman. But it turns out that the real killer is some asshole who's been experimenting with some kind of demonic Jekyll/Hyde serum. It's not ...
Faith is no Kendra. I have to say that up front. As if Buffy doesn't have enough to deal with, along comes the woman who replaces her. And she's much more interesting than Buffy, and prettier, too. Even if she does wear pants that seem to be made of fruit roll-ups. Honestly this episode felt a little rushed. We're introduced to a new antagonist or two, and there's apparently some tension building between Buffy and Faith. Dealing with the past seems to be a theme, as Buffy struggles to admit to G...
