Buffy the Vampire Slayer | On DVD (Confessions of a BUFFY Newbie)
With all my travel I thought I would have had more time to catch up on Season 2 of BUFFY but sadly that hasn’t been the case. I am 8 episodes into Season 2 and I can say that I do really like it. I feel like it’s a lot more mature than season 1 and a but darker. I just met Spike and I really have no clue how he’s going to transform from this sick and evil dude into Buffy’s love interest (and don’t tell me!!!) I’m going to take on two episodes tonight. I’d like to me done with season 3 by the end of next week (but I doubt it)

Season 2, Episode 9: What’s My Line?: Part 1
Its “Career Week” at Sunnydale High and Buffy is faced with the reality that she has no future apart from that of a Slayer. Meanwhile, Spike sends four deadly assassins to ensure the Slayer has no future at all.

Season 2, Episode 10: What’s My Line?: Part 2
The girl who attacked Buffy turns out to be no vampire but another slayer, Kendra, who assumed her duty while Buffy was drowned dead for a minute and works far more by the book Buffy ignored even to exist. Angel fears to die as the rising sun reaches into his holding place, but is dragged out in time by snitch Willy, only to be sold to Spike, who needs Drusilla’s sire to revitalize her in a demonic ritual in an abandoned church which will kill Angel, and allows her first to enjoy torturing the shirtless hunk with holy water. Helping Cordelia escape the maggot-made Taraka order-killer makes Xander spike their formally continuing hatred with hot kisses, twice, a female killer fails to kill Buffy as police recruiter on career day…
