"I'm Xander's Lawyer": The End of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's 4th Season

from Finale Girls · host Rachel Rippetoe and Mallika Mitra

***This episode contains spoilers for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Traitors U.S. (season 4, episode 7). --In 1997, the world was introduced to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a supernatural horror comedy about a teenage girl with a cosmic duty to kill demons. The show received critical and popular acclaim and its original airings often reached four to six million viewers, which was knocking it out of the park for a relatively new and smaller network like the WB. Despite its campy presence, Buffy continues to be talked about as one of the best television series of all time. The show launched Sarah Michelle Gellar into stardom and jumpstarted the career of Joss Whedon, who went on to write and direct for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Mallika and Rachel unpack the cultural impact of Buffy and the finale of season four — a season that was at times a hot mess, and at homes a showcase of the series’ best work. –30 Sec: Our life this week as a season finale 5 Min, 48 Sec: Traitors 11 Min: Tell Me Lies and Emma Roberts 14 Min: The latest TV news (White Lotus cast announcement, DTF St. Louis, new Mandy Patinkin show) 26 Min: Introducing Buffy the Vampire Slayer 42 Min: One-minute seasons one-four recap 44 Min: Season four overview 52 Min: Breaking down the season four finale 1 Hour, 19 Min: Buffy’s approach to race 1 Hour, 30 Min: Favorite and least favorite lines 1 Hour, 33 Min: Our finale ranking — For more on Buffy’s approach to race, check out LaToya Ferguson, Alanna Bennett, & Ira Madison III on Race in the Buffy & Angelversehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxKTAQZIURo
