Summary

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! He's behatted, he's bewigged, he's belongfingered, and he's HEEEERE. Der Kindestod has entered the chat (and the Sunnydale hospital) to reignite some childhood trauma for Buffy and to inspire at least one child to tap his inner artistic potential. Plus, Angelus brings flowers. Again. Our original coverage of "Killed by Death" — with no spoilers! — aired on May 31, 2017 and you can find it here: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/buffering-the-vampire-slayer-a-buffy-the/id1150241800?i=1000385985848 READ (OR LISTEN TO!)

0:00.0	Hey, everybody.
0:01.2	Oh, hi.
0:02.3	Jenny, a little bit of news in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I don't know.
0:07.1	What do you call it?
0:07.7	Verse?
0:08.3	Yes, verse over these last few days.
0:11.1	And, you know, we don't talk about Buffy that much, but it just felt like relevant to our

0:33.5	Are we collectively as big, large fans of both sarah michel geller and the story of buffy the vampire
0:42.6	slayer disappointed and a bit angry that the show was canceled after a pilot we will never see
0:51.6	what that was to be or at least we won't see it for the foreseeable
0:54.6	future. Sure. I have a lot of feelings, though, and maybe, you know, I love to lay on sort of like
1:01.2	hope and beauty onto all things. And so maybe I'm laying too much onto this, Jenny, but I do

1:23.3	And I think that part of that is, you know, I mean, we don't know yet exactly the details,
