Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs cover The X-Files one episode at a time.

It’s the FINALE of Season 2 of the X-Files and Mulder is taking LSD to celebrate. Scully cannot believe she didn’t get an autopsy *or* a bath, but she did get to sit at Mulder’s bedside and get yelled at by several different men!! We have conspiracies aplenty, a full adult size alien (just add water!) and Mulder in his teeeeny little undies. It’s S2E25 “Anasazi”!

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives this episode a scary ranking of 1.25/5 Trained Killers, School of the Americas Alumni

See you next year for Season Three 👽

Welcome to Once More, With Spoilers , where Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs revisit every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer , one at a time — for the SECOND time! — this time discussing each episode with spoilers! Today we are joined by extra special guest Hrishikesh Hirway as we confront our many subconscious fears: public performance, MURDER CLOWNS, bad hair days, and more! Now if it were us, we'd simply never start collecting live spiders, thus removing the threat they might one day accidentally perish under a left-on-too-long heat lamp and eventually seek their spidery vengeance... but to each their own, right Wendell? This episode has something for everyone: There's camp! There's laughs! There's a father’s — I mean Watcher’s — love for his daughter — I mean Slayer!

Welcome to Once More, With Spoilers , where Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs revisit every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer , one at a time — for the SECOND time! — this time discussing each episode with spoilers! We are currently conducting a survey to determine what, definitively, IS the greatest love of all… Is it our collective love for the hilarity and chaos of campy season one Monster-of-the-Week episodes? Is it Principal Snyder’s love of hating the children he is charged with educating? Is it our love for the fact that this is the only episode of Buffy that features a ventriloquist’s dummy, or perhaps our love for the peerless Shakespearean performance we get during the credits? Or are all of these tied for second place, and is the GREATEST love of all our love for Cordelia???

Welcome to Once More, With Spoilers , where Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs revisit every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer , one at a time — for the SECOND time! — this time discussing each episode with spoilers! Sure, FINE, maybe we need to deal with some Anointed One rising from the ashes of five or whatever , but have you SEEN WHAT A HUNK OWEN IS?!?! Surely seems like he should be allowed some of our focus despite any pending apocalypses. We are here this week to discuss Buffy 's "Never Kill A Boy on the First Date," and also to implore the residents of Sunnydale to do a better job blockading their doors when vampires or demons descend (leave the floor lamps and the couch pillows out of this!!).
