🌀 New Video! Angel’s “Pylea” arc (S2E19–22) is delightfully weird and sneakily deep. 💡 We talk about: – Angel’s evolving identity – Lorne’s queerness – Cordy’s agency (or lack thereof) – And the narrative weirdness of making a season finale into a coda. Reblog if you’ve ever been decapitated but not killed.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer S05E22: 'The Gift' Analysis & Breakdown | Passion of the Nerd

Welcome to the super-edit of the Season One Buffy Guides. In honor of 'The Gift' incoming, we thought it would be fun to revisit the Season One videos. I…don't remember the videos being this short. For reference, this video that encompasses 12 episodes of the show, is only slightly longer than the ONE we did for 'Into the Woods.'

Quick refresher since it's been 10 years, I started this channel by making a video called 'Why You Should Watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer.' And in it, I said I would provide a quick skip guide to help people get to what I considered "the good stuff" in the show. I never imagined that ten years later, I'd still be making that skip guide…only it would've become what the channel is today. How things have changed.

Just a reminder that, going forward, Patrons and YouTube members (via the Join button) will get early access to content as we complete it, while we aim to release new videos every few weeks here on YouTube. I am proud of the hard work Lani, Jack, and I have been doing to try and get the channel rebooted but we started this process with some pretty serious heifers to get through.

Next up: -Monday we’ll release the Season Five finale episode guide: The Gift. The script for which is done, recorded, and being edited now. -Our video covering the Pylea arc will be next. -If you’d like to support the channel and get early access, check out our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/c/passionofthenerd.

Thanks for watching and for your support—exciting things ahead! ✨

🌪️ Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Spiral 🌪️

This week's episode guide dives into Buffy's spiral towards collapse—a tense, action-packed chapter with plenty of campy moments and emotional stakes. From Glory's relentless pursuit to the infamous RV showdown, we unpack the highs, the lows, and the thematic depth of one of Season 5's pivotal episodes.

💬 Highlights include:

Buffy’s desperate decision to run instead of fight.

Spike’s heroic sword catch and that rooftop battle.

The Knights of Byzantium... love them or hate them?

Giles�� touching acknowledgment of Buffy’s growth.

Whether you're here for the action, the analysis, or just to revisit the Scoobies’ wildest road trip, this episode has it all. Join me as we explore the desperation, humor, and heartbreak that make 'Spiral' unforgettable. #BuffySeason5"
