Tiny Fences: A Buffy Podcast

Ah, Something Blue, when the follies hit Sunnydale.  We welcome back Alicen as a guest to talk about the ridiculousness that is this episode. We get some sweet Riley/Buffy moments, and some truly sad Willow moments.

Your eyes aren't deceiving you! It's a Tiny Fences about an episode of Angel. Granted it IS the 'cross-over event' episode, where Buffy comes to L.A. (this is a Buffy podcast after all ;) ) It's an episode all about 'what ifs' for the star-crossed pair. Perhaps the most fun part of this episode is the fact that Amanda and Andrea clearly don't agree on a certain topic, but the discussion never breaks down into an argument.

Normally Thanksgiving's a time for food, family and fellowship, but this is Sunnydale! Buffy's attempt to put on the perfect Thanksgiving dinner for her friends is interrupted by vengeful spirits, sad vampires, Willow and Giles fighting, and the overwhelming feeling that she's being watched.

It's time to find out more about those commandos who've been roaming UC Sunnydale! (and Spike's back too!)   

The time has finally come to say goodbye to Oz. Amanda & Andrea delve into 4x06, Wild at Heart. The ladies also have to extend "Five Minutes with Angel" to seven minutes for Sense and Sensitivity.

Ugh. It's time. 'Beer Bad', why are you so awful? Tune in as we try and decipher that very question.  

It's Halloween at UC Sunnydale! What does that mean for the Scoobies? Why, haunted frats, costumes and comedy, of course!  

We welcome back podcast super-fan Peter Dunn as we also welcome back fan-favourite Spike to Buffy in the "Harsh Light of Day"! This extra-long podcast is spent talking about the three relationships of the episode, Spike & Harmony, Anya & Xander, and Buffy & Parker, with a little bit of Gem of Amara on the side.

Time to talk about Buffy and her "Living Conditions"!  Amanda and Andrea chat about their roommates past, the amazing amount of comedy in this episode, and how much fun SMG must've had playing a slightly soulless version of the Slayer.  Andrea commiserates with 401 Buffy and tells about 'the day' she had and Amanda has to watch the end of the episode ON AIR, 'cause she missed it.....oh Amanda.

New season! New school! New people! Updated theme song! There's a LOT going on in this episode. Amanda and Andrea talk about their own university experiences, and how they relate to Buffy's feeling overwhelmed by it all. They also talk travels across Canada and America a la Xander. Make sure you stay tuned to the end for a new segment following our favourite brooding detective in L.A.

It's the end of an era....and a school! We survived high school, but we will survive Graduation Pt 2?! Amanda and Andrea welcome back Alicen to talk the end of the high school years, sing some songs, read some elegies and some stories. Bring on season four!

It's already season finale time! Amanda and Andrea welcome Alicen for 'Graduation Day Pt. 1' Get ready for more quotes than Andrea's ever asked for before, some long tangents courtesy of Alicen, and  some overall finale time conversational goodness!

Hellhounds! Break-ups! Adorable umbrella awards! It must be time for the Sunnydale High Prom!  Amanda and Andrea welcome guest Lauren as they talk (and laugh) about 'The Prom'. For a supposed 'monster-of-the-week' ep, we spend a whole lot of time NOT talking about the MOW. 

"What's in the box!" Amanda and Andrea welcome back Julia to discuss "Choices". It's an episode where it seems like a lot happens, but actually not that much happens. However, there are a lot of decisions to be made, for almost all our characters, whether they like and/or want to make those choices.

It's Earshot time! Buffy gets a fancy new power that isn't as great as it initially seems. Amanda and Andrea discuss the usefulness of being able to read minds, and how high school's kind of awful.

Amanda and Andrea FINALLY welcome the one and only Katherine (that's right, @KatherineIsOdd) to the podcast, to talk "Enemies". There are more than a few tangents, but when the girls get down to the episode they have lots to say; especially how much they love Faith, enjoy Giles' indignant comments about demons, and the Mayor's fatherly relationship with Faith. (did we mention that we love Faith?)

We're seeing double! and the return of Craig (aka Andrea's best friend Craig) to the podcast! It's a Willow-centric episode, and I think anyone who's listened to the podcast knows how Amanda feels about this. For the first time in a while Andrea has some STRONG feelings about fashion. (that aren't overall related!)

It's time to take some responsibility for actions...unless your name is Faith, 'cause then it's time to repress and act out!  Amanda and Andrea have a great discussion about this excellent episode, full of strong character development and wonderful performances especially from SMG and Eliza Dushku (she's the real stand-out in the episode) There's also an odd running Marvel theme...not sure where that came from ;)

"Is he evil?" There's a new Watcher in town and the Scoobies are NOT having any of it, Giles included. Faith and Buffy band together to rebel against their new Watcher, with Faith's 'bad girl' persona bringing out Buffy's wilder side in the process.   

Were you thinking to yourself, "Whatever happened to that Q&A Tiny Fences was going to do?" Well the answer is, "IT'S RIGHT HERE!" It's a bit rambly, we talk a lot about Angel, and "Welcome to Tiny Fences" (a podcast about our podcast ;) )
