Join us as we discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 2 finale, “Becoming Part 1″ and “Becoming Part 2.”
Superfans: Selina and Natalie
Newbies: Brittany and Mitch
Fun Facts:
Mitch saw some awesome Buffy props a few months ago, but they are only just starting to make sense. He saw Mr. Pointy! Brittany drove all over NJ to find the Gilmore Girls EW cover and failed. Selina keeps getting spoiled with all the Gilmore Girls revival news. Natalie has never seen Gilmore Girls and is vacationing in a hotel that was once the hospital where Alan Turing was born.
