Nuanced Deep Dive into Buffy Symbolism

Great discussion of themes, character arcs and symbolism of Buffy from a conversational trio of Buffy fans. There's a spoiler free section and then a spoilery section at the end, which situates each episodes themes within the context of the entire series. My favourite part is the spoilery part! The hosts have done their research and have noticed things I never have. I also love that the hosts love Bangel!
