Buffy Boys

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"

Buffy Boys 044 - Christmas Sun (S03E10)

Angel is being haunted by the First Evil who torments him with the memories of all the people, and accents, he has mercilessly butchered. Can Buffy talk him out of his pity party before the sun comes up? The Buffy Boys have a Very Slayer Christmas in S03E10 "Amends".

Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:

Emotional Special Effects: Ethical story-telling in the use of traumatic plot points as character flavour
The unavoidable Buffy-as-Christ imagery
The Call is Coming from Inside the Queer - the monster as a surrogate for the marginalized viewer
Laying the groundwork for Angel's spin-off redemption premise
"Strong is fighting. It's hard and it's painful and it's every day"
