Satanic panic clutches the pearls of Sunnydale's suggestible parental population! When Joyce finds two ritually murdered children the town turns just a lil fascist against witches, slayers and other queer allegories. Who Watches The Watcher Watchers? The Buffy Boys do in S03E11 "Gingerbread".
Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:
- Black nail polish and boy witches: Magic as metaphor for gender defiant transgression
- Selective memory and mass delusion; resisting dark forces by choosing the burden of awareness
- Joyce's pitch perfect Anita Bryant impersonation
- The pervasive and illiterate terror of deep European folklore
- "Now, let's be clear. The brain damage happened before I hit you"

Desertion and dissolution comes to Sunnydale - the High School is abandoned, the Bronze is closing down, and Buffy is unceremoniously kicked out of her own damn house. The end begins. The Buffy Boys have their heads on a swivel in S07E19 "Empty Places".
Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:
- "Et Tu, Scoobie?" the collapse of the Hero's support network
- Turn the Light Off On The Way Out Of Town - dismantling the conceit of Sunnydale's setting as the show ends
- A deluge of Potentials as a portent of diaster
- "Not that I swing cats, or eat. Nope. Cutting way back. Cholesterol-- Morals! I mean morals!"

Buffy Boys 139 - A Heavy Past (S07E17)
Buffy Boys
12/15/21 • 59 min
Hark the tale of William the Bloody (Awful), overflowing in maternal affection and lately deceased. And Robin, orphaned vampire hunter with a Slayer Mom and a Watcher Dad. Let's see these two good boys talk things out. The Buffy Boys feel positively effulgent in S07E17 "Lies My Parents Told Me".
Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:
- Freud Bait: Spike, stakes, his mother, and making his name into an icky verb
- The Mission is What Matters - the war for Buffy's Soul
- Vigilante-forward justice and whether necessary evil is a domain of the white hats or the First
- "Have you seen the new library? There's nothing but computers. There's not a book to be seen."

Welcome weary travellers and let us tell you a tale - the rousing, genre breaking adventures of Buffy, Slayer of the Vampyrs and the most nebbish of her entourage, Andrew (you know, Tucker's brother?) The Buffy Boys pull focus in S07E16 "Storyteller".
Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:
- The Blair Snitch Project: camera as character and foil
- Undeniable narrators and the inherent motivated perspective of the self-appointed observer
- Ancient, Maleovent, and kinda flirty: the gaybaiting First Evil
- "Why can't you just masturbate like the rest of us?"

Buffy Boys
12/01/21 • 53 min
Tragedy at 1630 Revello Drive leads Buffy through time and space to the source of the Slayer's power - which unsurprisingly involves dealing with some men who just reckon they're in the right. The Buffy Boys exhale a long sigh in S07E15 "Get It Done".

- General Slayer - the icky mire of militarisation of potential
- Big Bag of Plot with the Lads: Nikki Wood and legacy building

The Potentials get some field training from General Buffy and her trusty hound Spike. Like all gifted teens, Dawn learns a harsh lesson about being pretty normal after all. The Buffy Boys celebrate mundanity in S07E12 "Potential".

- Transmuting Teen Self-Discovery: Dawn's burgeoning identity in the kiln of Slayer-adjacent angst
- Reinscribing before the Fall - Buffy's imitation of a Watcher as a step to a new paradigm
- The Demon/Gay intersectional nightlife axis - are the Potentials giving hen party vibes?
- "They're demons! It's a demon bar. It's like a gay bar, only with demons"
