Major Slayage: Ket & Arik Rewatch Buffy the Vampire Slayer – Details, episodes & analysis

Join us for the confounding conclusion to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer “What’s My Line?” saga, where Angel loses his shirt, Xander and Cordelia get a room, Drusilla gets her groove back… and Oz and Willow finally get to have some scenes together!

Why can’t Norman Pfister turn door knobs?

Where do we get our hands on a copy of the Slayer Handbook?

Is Ketryn still upset about Kendra’s pants?

Inquiring minds can find the answers to these question in this week’s Major Slayage.

(We also take a moment to honor our sweet, sweet puppy, Ethel, who passed away last week. We love you, baby girl, and we’ll miss you forever. Rest in peace.)

Major Slayage: Ket & Arik Rewarct Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Real life soulmates Ket & Arik (from Kim & Ket Stay Alive… Maybe) rewatch, review, relive & react to every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in anticipation of the Hulu reboot. It’s chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

We’ve hit a bit of a rough patch with this episode of Buffy. It’s not terrible, it’s just kind of… meh. Everyone seems tired. And cranky. Buffy has an identity crisis, Spike and Drusilla sit around the house, and a new slayer has entered the chat! 

• Should this two-parter have been condensed to one episode? 

• Will Oz and Willow ever get to be in an actual scene together? 

• Would you make out with bumpy-faced David Boreanaz? 

You won’t need a key to decode the answers to these questions – just check out this week’s Major Slayage!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2 Episode 1 “When She Was Bad" Review & Recap! 

We’re back back back back back again for Season Two of Major Slayage! In this week’s entry – the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Two premiere “When She Was Bad” – Buffy pulls a Beyoncé and dicthes the Scoobies to become a solo act, Xander ruins the concept of ice cream for Ketryn… and Apple has a new wunderkind CEO: The Annoying One! Where do Vampires get all their candles from? What does Ketryn think about when she’s punching focus pads? And just exactly how much does Arik love The Karate Kid franchise? The answers to these questions – as well as the results for Season One’s Best and Worst Dressed – on this week’s Major Slayage!

It's the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season One Finale, and we're excited for... Prom? Spring Fling? We still have no idea what's going on with the dances in this show. But we got all dressed up anyway! Xander is the worst (again), Cordelia's lack of driving skills comes in handy, and Kool-Aid Mouth finally has his coming out party! Ketryn & Arik reminisce about their own Prom memories, and we grade each episode in our Season One Report Card! So put on the surprise dress your mom got you and join us as we celebrate the end of the first season of Major Slayage!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 11 “Out of Mind, Out of Sight” Review & Recap! 

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 11, (which turned out to be one of our favorite episodes of the season), Harmony takes up tumbling… Xander is still too scared to ride his skateboard, but carries it around like a prop… And we get the origin story for Veep’s Secret Service Agent Marjorie Palmiotti! Are Prom Queen and May Queen the same thing? When is prom? Is it prom? We’ll get nowhere near answering any of these questions on this week’s Major Slayage!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 10 “Nightmares” – Review, Recap & Roast!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer S1E10 “Nightmares” was something of a slog to get through. We know dreams don’t always make sense, but television shows should! Listen, not all nightmares are created Equal – Buffy being buried alive and turned into a Vampire is NOTHING compared to Cordelia’s frizzy hair and Willow’s stage fright! And move over, Anointed One, there’s a new creepy crap bag kid in town: (not) Joseph Gordon-Levitt… and Sunnydale ain’t big enough for the both of ya! Ketryn & Arik are the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, respectively, of Tangent Town as they talk about ANYTHING to avoid discussing this lackluster Buffy episode on this week’s Major Slayage!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 9 “The Puppet Show” Review & Recap! 

This week’s entry, Buffy the Vampire Slayer S1E9 “The Puppet Show,” was set up to be a goofy one, but we kind of loved it! The Scooby Gang faces off against a Wizard of Oz themed serial killer, Cordelia’s delusion reaches new heights, and – most shockingly – Sunnydale does appear to have a police force, after all! Will Giles be able to keep his job? Will Ketryn take comfort in the fact that Arik is incapable of sneaking up on her? Can Ket & Arik’s marriage survive Arik’s shocking confession? The answers to these questions – and nothing else – on this week’s Major Slayage!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 8 “I, Robot… You, Jane”” Review & Recap! 

Join us as we sink our teeth into an episode that is a return to campy form for Buffy’s first season, BTVS S1E8 “I, Robot… You, Jane.” Willow discovers the joys of cybering, Xander proves himself useful for a change… and move over Cordeila, there’s a new hottie in town: Jenny – Miss Calendar if ya nasty! Will Ketryn heed Giles’s command to come? (Hint, yes she will!) Will Arik ever pick up his f*@king socks!? (Spoiler alert: never!) How many more Sunnydale High students have to die before they close this place down? (Our guess – too many!) Remember to phrase your responses in the form of a question on this week’s Major Slayage!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 7 “Angel” Review & Recap! 

Come along as we take a bite out of our favorite episode so far this season, BTVS S1E7 “Angel.” Darla gets a promotion – and a demotion, Angel spends all day in Buffy’s room for no apparent reason, and Joyce might be trying to avoid Freddy Krueger. Did Robert Rodriguez direct episodes of Buffy under a pseudonym? Does Arik have what it takes to be an all-ages stand up comic? Who is on Ketryn’s kill list? The answers to these questions – probably – on this week’s Major Slayage!
