Buffy Boys

Buffy's doing her best to fit back into her old routine: study, slay, sleep, repeat. But it's tough when she's kicked out of school, her friends are giving her the cold shoulder and so are the zombies her mother accidentally reanimated with a demonic Nigerian art piece.

You bring the keg, buddy - the Buffy Boy's are the dip at S03E02 "Dead Man's Party".

Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:

Zombi(e) Zeitgeist - the cultural influence of the restless reanimated from traditional Haitian folklore to its appropriation into Western science-myth
The incredible BDE (British Dad Energy) of Giles protecting Buffy
The interrupted sleep of the Slayer: vaseline-coated dreamscapes as a cryptic canvas
"Chosen Family" - queer identity as a vector for community building in supernatural stories
"Would you like me to convince you?"

It's been one bummer of a summer for Buffy - living as a runaway under an assumed name in LA while the Scoobies try to fill her punning protector pumps in Sunnydale. But what'll happen when vulnerable teens get snatched to a brutalist Hell dimension by a youth pastor with a penchant for unsubtle foreshadowing?

Abandon hope all ye Buffy Boys who enter S03E01 "Anne".

Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:

Helping the hopeless: existential despair as a tangible threat in dispossessed youth
Xander and Cordelia's death fueled passion (Cordander? Xordy?)

Buffy Boys 037 - The new little sister (S03E03)

Buffy's back in school and normality returns. Just kiddin'. Faith, a newly called Slayer, arrives in town on the run from cloven-hoofed elder vampire Kakistos and his Y2K fearing techno-minion Mr. Trick. Will new "heterosexual" love interest Scott Hope get lost in the mix?

Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:

Socially Acceptable Slayage - Buffy's "tightly wound" persona assimilates where Faith's emotional rough edges reject
Reinforcing and creating lore through in-character continuity references
"the Caucasian Persuasion here in the 'Dale": character, stereotypes and reinforcement in Buffy's infrequent black cast
Joyce's curious love of McCain's oven chips
"She's not playing with a full deck. She has almost no deck. She has a three."
