Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 3, episode 1, "Anne":
-Synopsis
-Season 3 credits: What do we think of the new stuff?
-Buffy is a show that likes to reference back to older storylines.
-Buffy and Angel on the beach. Mitch declares it "The Beach" part two.
-This episode had a distinct "When She Was Bad" vibe.
-Would Buffy have returned to Sunnydale if Lily hadn't showed up?
-Chanterelle/Lily is back. Did we have a serious reaction to her return?
-We're fine with the whole Monster of the Week thing continuing. They serve a purpose.
-These alien guys weren't explained, but it's not really necessary to know much about them to enjoy the episode.
-Karen gives us a Charmed/Buffy connection
-Does the show go to the "Buffy is just a normal teenager" well too often?
-Ken was up to no good and some of us suspected him from the beginning.
-Willow taking on Buffy's quippy one-liners is epic.
-The totally failed slaying was pretty equally enjoyed by all of us.
-Giles was on the hunt for Buffy. Do we think he should have been searching for her? Or should he have taken a cue from the Scooby gang and wait for Buffy to just come home?
-Joyce blames Giles for Buffy leaving. Wait, what?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 3, episode 2, "Dead Man's Party":
-Synopsis
-Let's talk about Joyce.
-Hopefully Joyce and Buffy can get back to some common ground.
-Should Willow be upset with Buffy for leaving? Do we feel like her feelings are justified?
-Zombies!! We were all a little unnerved that one of them just snapped a kid's neck.
-This Monster of the Week could have been a little stronger, and Caitlin has an ingenious way they could have done it.
-Pat (aka Martha Stewart) goes full demon and has quite the withering stare.
-Willow is dabbling in some witchcraft. The newbies give their thoughts.
