This week on Buffy Babes, we’re rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2 Episode 4: Inca Mummy Girl. We talk about why this episode is secretly heartbreaking, why Ampata isn’t really a villain, and how this storyline mirrors Buffy’s own struggle between wanting a normal life and being trapped by destiny. We also discuss Xander actually being likeable for once, Willow finding her confidence, the first appearances of Oz and Jonathan, and Cordelia’s iconic comedic moments that lighten the episode.

We also dive into Buffy reboot speculation, including James Marsters commenting on a possible return as Spike, parallel universe theories, soul vs evil Spike, and why any revival needs to respect character arcs. Plus, thoughts on nostalgia reboots, modern TV writing, and what makes Buffy’s storytelling still work decades later.

💬 Do you see Ampata as a villain or a tragic character? And would you rather see Good Spike or Evil Spike return in the new series? Let us know in the comments!

Welcome back to Buffy Babes! This week we’re rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2 Episode 3: School Hard. Spike shows up, the school gets locked down, Buffy takes charge, and Joyce proves she is not the mum to mess with. We get into Spike and Drusilla’s chemistry, why Snyder is the worst, the best one liners (Cordelia is on form), plus fun facts like the Die Hard reference and the first time we actually learn Joyce’s name.

Are you Team Spike-as-a-villain, or do you prefer him later on? And what’s your favourite moment from School Hard?

This week on Buffy Babes we’re rewatching Some Assembly Required, one of the creepiest early Season 2 episodes. We talk mad science vs magic, Chris and Eric as human villains, why Daryl’s choices make zero sense as parents now, and how this storyline has unfortunately aged very well. We also gush over Buffy’s outfits, Cordelia saving the tone of the episode, early Giles and Jenny flirting, and Angel dressing suspiciously like Xander.

Plus, we dive into major Buffy reboot talk, breaking down Sarah Michelle Gellar’s recent interview, what “continuation not reboot” actually means, possible episode counts, old characters returning (or not), and why we just want Buffy to be happy.

💬 Do you find this episode creepy, sad, or just frustrating? And what do YOU hope the new Buffy series does differently? Tell us in the comments!
