0:00.0	Hello, beautiful Scoobies.
0:02.1	Kristen and Jenny here, right on the cusp of rolling you into our very first episode of Once More with Spoilers.
0:08.9	Our second journey through Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this time, if you can believe it, with spoilers.
0:15.5	It's November 6th, 2024.
0:18.5	I'm sorry to say.
