Michaela and David have done it, mother effers. They've finished all of Buffy and some of Angel! Enjoy this here final episode of the show (unless Buffy ends up coming back). The Circle of the Black Thorn is wrapping up this episode, and at least one person will die in this Joss Finale!

David and Michaela hit the penultimate episode! That's right mother effers, it's "Power Play"! Exciting times abound as we revisit a number of characters we honestly never thought we'd see again. I mean, who thought that NINA of ALL PEOPLE would show up in the final two episodes? That's bonkers! And hell, throw Lindsey in here! But not Eve? I mean, we're not complaining, just baffled. Anyway there's plot happening in the episode or something, we weren't paying super close attention. Pictures on ...

Michaela and David almost catch sight of Buffy in this episode, "The Girl in Question". That's right, Buffy's not back and apparently they didn't even want her back? Honestly we're still a bit confused. On the other hand this episode delivers exactly what we're after: Spike and Angel Japes.

David and Michaela are stuck endlessly within another time loop, this one ending with a BANG. Illyria's up to her usual Cthulian tricks while the gang tries to figure out how to either kill her or stop her from blowing up.

Michaela and David do their best to make it through The Connor Episode. That's right mother effers, Connor is back and now we have to watch an episode all about him. Illyria continues to be... wacky? She's certainly doing her thing, and the rest of the cast is certainly doing other things, and mostly we're just extra excited to see ol' what's his face.

David and Michaela eat you starting with your bottom in this, "Underneath!". Yes, questions will be answered but many more answers will actually be questioned in this episode. Answers such as "Lindsey has gone to hell and there's no reason to hear from him again" and "we don't care about Eve or anything she has to say".

Michaela and David get a lot more Illyria and a lot fewer answers this episode! Yup, she's here, she's spooky and the writers have done a... unique thing with Illyria this time. But then, what else is an ancient, incomprehensible evil to do when confronted with the fleeting nature of time but to simply buddy up to the nearest human it sees?

David and Michaela try desperately to repair the Hole in the Wall everyone's talking about this episode. It's unexpected character death time in Hell-A! But which character will die? And which new character will have a terrible new pod-voice? Only one way to find out: listen to the episode!

Michaela and David can't stop grinning while recording "Smile Time". But is it because they enjoyed the episode, or are they too struck by the puppet curse and now their faces are stuck like that?

Michaela and David have a good but confusing time with "You're Welcome". Later revelations about what's going on behind the scenes might help explain why there are almost no extant plot hooks left after episode 12 of this season, but for now it's just incredibly weird. So sure, Cordy gets to come back. But we'll also wrap up this whole "Lindsey" thing after a hilariously short amount of time, and then what comes next? No one knows!

David and Michaela have a right romp with one of the most mood-whiplash-heavy episodes we can imagine, "Damage". Is it intense torture porn/body horror? Is it wacky japes with Andrew? The episode says an emphatic "yes" and then leaves with no further explanation.

Michaela and David are audibly disgusted at the amount of Eve present in this episode, and none too pleased by what could charitably be called "Lindsey's plan". It's dream times all around, in an episode that barely happens! But the gang turns on Eve and Lorne is actually part of the main cast, so overall it's a win!

David and Michaela have a disappointing time with "Harm's Way" from Angel's fifth season. But honestly, most of the podcast is about a recent injury one of our hosts sustained in the line of... pod duty?

Michaela and David bring you the finest commentary on Angel S5E08 "Destiny". It's Ye Olde times mixed with new times, but mostly it's CAHOOT times up in here. The powerpoint was definitely worth it in many ways, as we find out, and our hosts place bets on who will be the first to drink from the Cup of Perpetual Torment.

Michaela and David heroically hold back Arrested Development "hermanos" references in this high-flying episode. Luchadors and luchadoras are up for discussion, Quotable Notes comes back and Angel is mocked with the silliest voices we could muster.

David and Michaela have a very spoooooooky time watching "Hell Bound". In a refreshing turn of events, Spike's in the basement but not insane. He meets some folks who are far spookier than him and has kind of a bad time. Meanwhile, Lorne looks fabulous and gets no screen time while Fred gets to spout more science nonsense than we thought possible.

Michaela and David talk about how unjustly necromancers are portrayed in television with "Just Rewards". It seems like necromancers are always "evil" or "bad guys" in shows, and we want to know why. Angel broods, Spike gives sass, and the rest of the cast is barely involved!

David and Michaela dive into Angel season 5 with "Conviction". It's one of the better season openers we've seen so far, and it takes one of the characters in a bold new direction. Good times all around! In this episode, Angel manages to not get shot by an improbable number of guns and our hosts steadfastly refuse to use a less-silly name for one of the expendable characters.

Michaela explains to David (and a small gathered throng!) what all happens in "Angel" seasons one through four. Oh boy there's a lot to talk about, especially in season four. How much of it will be relevant to the upcoming season five watch-through? None can say!

David and Michaela have decided, for reasons which cannot be scruted, to watch the 2010 action... thriller... sci-fi... movie (?) "Skyline" starring Eric Balfour. Oof-a-doof, there are many ways to pay tribute to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and this is surely one of the stranger ones.

Michaela and David are overwhelmed by emotions; this is "Chosen", the final episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer EVER (yet). There's a lot to cover here. We have a discussion about the final episode, a discussion about the final season, and then a rather rambling discussion of all things Buffy to cap it all off. Yeah, this is a frigging long one. Also there are bazillions of links to get through here, we've done our best. This is what an actual war scythe is. Note that it has a concave blade. htt...

David and Michaela are so dang close! That's right, it's "End of Days", the penultimate episode of Buffy. We're excited, you're excited, we might even be ex-scythe-ted as the showdown of the First Evil vs the Best Slayer(s) commences. Also, the writers have decided that this episode is a great time to: introduce a new faction into the Buffyverse; kill off a big bad that was only introduced in the past couple episodes; bring Angel back; and attempt to manufacture some Spike drama.

Michaela and David are well into the final stretch with "Touched". It's "scythe" time in Sunnydale, and if you thought Buffy would take getting kicked out of her house well you were wrong wrong wrong. Thankfully we do get some better plans being shown off this episode, even if the Potentials are still doing things like wearing plaid pants.

David and Michaela take joy in kicking Buffy out of her own house in "Empty Places". Yes, it's an episode a lot of fans hate. We aren't hugely fond of it either, but for different reasons! No matter what your feelings are though, it's still an interesting choice to make your main character less and less likeable throughout a season.

Michaela and David get down and dirty with "Dirty Girls", one of the strongest episodes of this very fine show to ever be made. That's right, the writers have remembered that there's more than one active Slayer, and we get a Nathan Fillion thrown in at no extra cost!
