Bothered & Bewildered: A Buffyverse Podcast

We've been talking about this one for years: We've made it to the massive Season 2 finale "Becoming, Pt. 2!" The Sunnydale Police are extremely stupid, Xander Harris might be even stupider, and Joyce finally knows Buffy's big secret. (We have some thoughts.) Kate A's loving the Spike and Buffy truce; Kate J's crying about the ghost of Jenny Calendar - likely not for the last time. We're all crying about Buffy, Angel, that last kiss, the sword, some acting choices, Sarah McLaughlin...etc. It's hard to believe we've finally made it, but, just like Buffy, make sure you come back soon and don't miss Season 3 after our short break! We'll be back in just a few weeks, but catch up on Seasons 1 and 2, and recommend us to a friend! Talk to us and each other!!

When you start a Buffy podcast, you're usually looking forward to talking about the big moments - and we've finally made it. We're talking about part 1 of the Season 2 FINALE: "Becoming" on the pod, and who knew flashback episodes could be this good? We're taking a trip through time, with a couple of brief stops in Angel's sorted past. We'll meet Whistler, who might be a little bit of a creep (who among the Buffyverse boys isn't, right?) That yellow floppy disk FINALLY makes a reappearance, and, oh yeah, did we mention the impending apocalypse? That's a big part of these finales. You don't want to miss this one.

If there’s a way to know you’re nearing the end of almost any season of Buffy, it’s watching one of the worst hours of television you’ve ever seen. It’s Season 2, Episode 20: “Go Fish!” Before we can get to the juicy bit, it’s time to wade through some fish guts: The swim team is turning into fish monsters who may or may not have eaten their coach, Willow is still being forced to perform unpaid child labor, Buffy gets slut-shamed, and we’re bleaching our eyes after Xander in a Speedo… yikes.

Oh good lord, another weird student-teacher episode. At least this one doesn’t suck - It’s Season 2, Episode 19 “I Only Have Eyes For You!” The gang is chasing a murderous ghost—whose morality we spend quite a bit of time debating—while Giles is chasing Jenny’s non-existent ghost. Also, if you were missing the Buffy/Angel smooching, boy, do we have the episode for you. Some digressions include: what does forgiveness really entail, was Willow being paid for her teaching, and much more. Talk to us and each other!!

If there's one thing Buffy's good for, it's making sure you probably won't get 3 decent viewing experiences in a row. Buffy's ready to finally face off with Angel until she comes down with the mystery flu... It's Season 2, Episode 18: "Killed by Death!" Did Joss & Co. take some... "inspiration" from Freddy Krueger? Did the writers really scrape this episode off of Season 1's cutting room floor and shoehorn it in here? Kate J (shocker) has some issues with the minimal Jenny Calendar talk. Kate, Frankie, and Kate are looking forward to talking about something a little more fun next time around than scary flu monsters in the children's ward at the hospital, that's for sure.

We knew this day would come: Kate J is in mourning, and we have to talk about Angel's monologuing - It's Season 2, Episode 17: "Passion." Let's all say goodbye to Jenny Calendar (and Willow's fish... and the unnamed boogity-boogity store owner,) cry with Giles, debate Xander's rightness-for-wrong-reasons, and cringe along with Joyce in this super-sized episode. Buffy's finally ready to be rid of Angel, and there's a yellow floppy disk just waiting to be discovered somewhere on the floor. As we mark the first major character death of the series, we embark on a bit of a journey justifying our favorite "feminist" show's obsession with violence against women. Did we mention Kate's sad? If we didn't, fear not: She will mention it about 47 times. Talk to us and each other!!

We've finally reached our namesake episode, and it's one that represents everything that made us start this podcast in the first place: It's whacky, it's vaguely behind-the-times, and it's also a whole lot of fun. The B&B gang talks "Bewitched, Bothered, & Bewildered" this week! Angel's supposedly ramping up his plans for Buffy - but is her? - while Xander casts a love spell. SMG hosted SNL, and, suddenly, Buffy's a rat. Also, that trench coat? Oof. Grown women are magically in love with children, there's an angry mob of teenage girls, and Xander will totally face the consequences of his actions next week... right? Talk to us and each other!!

Finally, some Oz content... but at what cost? It's Season 2, Episode 15 "Phases!" Oz is a werewolf, Larry the football jerk is gay, Xander is very much not, and we've got yet another weird misogynist one-off character to deal with. Willow's waiting for Oz to make a move and should probably stop taking boy advice from Buffy, Angel's wreaking havoc and still missing that soul of his, and why does anyone let the young women of Sunnydale walk home alone at night?!

The secret's out: Angel caught the happy bug, and now he has no soul. Welcome back for part 2 of BTVS's biggest bombshell reveal yet: "Innocence!" Xander and Cordelia's secret is out, Willow is just as embarrassing (and kind of relatable?) as ever, KJ's fuming about the mistreatment of Jenny Calendar... oh, did we mention the Judge and that rocket launcher? Yeah, that happened, too. Laugh at Angel's dialogue and cry at Giles' monologuing with us this week, and every week! Talk to us and each other!!

Surprise! It's Buffy's 17th birthday, and we've gone absolutely off the rails for part one of the most epic 2-parter yet. It's Season 2, Episode 13 "Surprise." What's on the agenda? Some of the show's best dream sequences (and some great music) open this one up for us. Kate J's beloved Jenny Calendar finally has a backstory, and no one is less pleased than Kate herself. Wheelchair Spike and a still-insane-but-very-powerful Drusilla make their triumphant return. Remember Luke from Season 1? Yeah, he's a big unstoppable demon called The Judge now. Oh, did Buffy and Angel have sex in this episode? I guess we have to talk about that... and all of its consequences next week! Talk to us and each other!!
