S4 E10: The Solstice Episode

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2026/02/14

What a great episode to release on valentines day! Apparently this one won an emmy, so that feels like a low bar but it was pretty good all things considered. We got some real witchy stuff from Willow, demons stealing hearts, and Spike is still around for some reason. So cuddle up with your favorite "orgasm friend" and listen to us talk about this absolute gem!

S4 E9: Buffy is Shitty to Reilly Because Xander Said...

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2026/01/31

A real great Willow ep, despite her sadness her magic is in full force and she is getting everything she wished for even though she doesn't realize it. We also have to sit through way to much Spike and Buffy making out.

S4 E8: A Scurry of Squirrels

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2025/11/27

It's a Thanksgiving special! It's Thanksgiving here and in Sunnydale! The topic of colonialism and the genocide of American Indians is handled with all the grace and tact that you would expect from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. All the Indians get killed while Spike joins for Dinner and Angel is also here for some unexplained reason. So you know pretty much the worst.

S4 E7: Vampire Lab Rats

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2025/11/11

This might be Sam's most accurate prediction yet! There are indeed vampire lab rats. Reilly decides to try and court a student, Spike breaks out, Buffy earns the respect of the grumpy prof, and oh by the way she and Reilly run a secret militarized demonic research lab that apparently has no idea who the slayer is.

S4 E6: Spike needs help

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2025/10/16

Spike does in fact need help, but lets not deal with that! Lets deal with a really awful breakup between Oz and Willow! Willow doesn't cast a hateful spell, but Oz does kill the werewolf woman he had been having lycanthropic sex with, 0 out of 5 stars will not watch again.

S4 E5: Episode 2/2 with no spike

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2025/09/13

We all know Parker is an asshole, but we do get some great world building in this episode. The Bartender has a warlock brother in law and we get a bunch of frat boys that get Buffy on the beer train. Nothing special about this one but a nice fun monster of the week ep and hopefully we can put the parker boy behind us.

S4 E4: Episode 1/2 with no Spike

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2025/07/22

Halloween is for the amateurs! The real demons don't bother. Maybe that's why we got our most squish-able demon yet. Buffy spends too much time being sad over a dumb boy, Anya keeps laying it on thick and Giles does some light cultural appropriation.

S4 E3 Game 1 UCSD Football

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2025/07/08

Its always a good game when it starts in the Bronze! Spike is back and so is an undead Harmony. This might be the spiciest episode to date and we get an age appropriate love for Buffy. But he turns out to be a jerk and it's of course Buffy's fault. Harmony is a Spike simp and Angel is going to get a present off screen.

S4 E2 Zombie Jungle Juice

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2025/06/26

Buffy's got a roommate problem! What are the odds the slayer gets put with a demon that just wants to be part of the college experience?! We get a new bad guy we will never see again, and OZ notices some sneaky military types in the woods that there is no context too. I am sure it won't come up!

S4 E1 Slayer Dorm Life

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2025/05/06

New campus! New Library! New Giles Love Interest! No Angel! A baby face Pedro Pascal! So many things to get excited about in our first episode of the college era. Some real cool college kid vamps turn out to be lamer than they first appear, Buffy gets shamed out of a lecture hall and we get our first problematic interaction of the season. Basically all back to normal at UC Sunnydale.

S3 Interlude A DDALI Fan(s) and Kayla (and Hux)

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2025/04/22

It's time for the season 3 interlude watch along! We are joined by special guests Megan and Hux as we watch the classic Dracula Dead and Loving it! Sorry for the weird lack of background noise removal, not to mention the long periods of just watching the movie, Mel Brooks is just such a genius! See you soon for season 4!

S3 E23 Season 3 Recap

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2025/04/19

We go over all the high and lows of Season 3 and do our best to remember this show which seems like it was both too fast and too short, maybe it was a good representation of senior year of high school?

S3 E22: Melting the Mayor

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2025/02/25

Super long ep! It's the finale though so who cares! Buffy doesn't have to deal with any moral dilemmas as long as her hot vamp situationship can still get her off, we see the worst hospital cop ever, Snyder finally gets what's coming to him and of course the squad all graduate! All of that after a way way to long intro section.

S3 E21: Ascension part 1: Faith Gets a Kill (Goodbye...

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2025/02/11

We are almost there! A professor dies, the mayor dotes on Faith, Angel contracts a deadly poison and must have a slayer's blood and Buffy finally cuts a corner off her murder chit.

en

01:00:31

S3 E20: Prom Time Not Plot Time

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2025/01/18

It's Prom night in Sunnydale and we all know what that means! A kid that couldn't get a date trains hellhounds to kill people in formal wear! As predicted their was essentially no talk of the ascension but we did get Wesley going full perv, Joyce being classic, and Anya having to deal with having a real life teenage brain. Sam feels validated though with the full throated acknowledgement that everyone in Sunnydale knows they live on the Hellmouth!

S3 E19: College Prep

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2024/12/24

Kayla lost her notes! That's ok because we are just lowering our standards for higher ed on this episode. Faith gets a knife that looks like it came from a western Kansas gas station, the mayor takes a hostage and loses some pages, face huggers get a cross over, and we learn that Wesley is a shithead beyond being pervy to teenage girls. In the end though Willow just wants to stay home and fight evil with her friend and it's honestly really sweet.

S3 E18: Book Heist

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2024/11/25

Finally a new episode of ABFAS! This one is an instant classic, published just a couple weeks after the most infamous school shooting in American History why not go ahead and have that be the theme of the show? Also Buffy can read minds, which leads to a great discovery of Giles and Joyce's wild night on a cop car... twice! All pretty standard and with no real mention of the next apocalyptic problems which should probably be getting dealt with.

S3 Eoopsie: Sam Didn't Do The Homework

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2024/10/19

This is what you get when teachers are stretched too thin, at least that is what we are going to say happened. Sam didn't watch the episode so his punishment is having to watch it with full knowledge that it is pointless and awful. Luckily for you though there are a few pointers about how to b.s. your way through a class discussion.

S3 E17 Demon Video Game

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2024/10/01

Sam and Kayla are in the same physical space! Angel and Buffy go to a porn film showing, Faith finally goes full betrayal, they meet an everyday joe Devil, Angel plays a fun trick that Buffy hates, and we learn that "The Ascension" is confirmed on graduation day!

S3 E16 Faith the Double Agent!

A Buffy Fan and Sam ·

2024/09/12

An amazing willow episode! The buffy multiverse in confirmed although it may just be the one other verse. Anya deals with some demonic bureaucracy, Cordelia is actively trying to get Wesley fired, Faith gets a Playstation and Willow has a moment of compassion and sends Millow back to her world to be immediately dusted by Oz again.
