Summary

Welcome to Once More, With Spoilers, where Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs revisit every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one at a time — for the SECOND time! — this time discussing each episode with spoilers! We are currently conducting a survey to determine what, definitively, IS the greatest love of all… Is it our collective love for the hilarity and chaos of campy season one Monster-of-the-Week episodes? Is it Principal Snyder’s love of hating the children he is charged with educating? Is it Xander’s love of Chocolate Hurricanes? Is it our love for the fact that this is the only episode of Buffy that features a ventriloquist’s dummy? Is it a father’s — I mean Watcher’s — love for his daughter — I mean Slayer? Or are all of these tied for second place, and is the GREATEST love of all our love for Cordelia??? Lay back, relax, and let us strap you in to our guillotine for Season 1, Episode 9, “The Puppet Show.” JOIN US IN LA & BOSTON FOR UPCOMING LIVE EVENTS: bufferingcast.com/slayers MORE ON BUFFY PROM, OUR BOOK RELEASE EVENT IN TORRANCE, and NO & LOW COST TICKETS: bufferingcast.com/prom OUR BOOK!
