S3E2: Dead Man's Party — You Can't Just Bury Stuff

<p>Buffy&#39;s back from L.A., and now everyone has <em>feelings</em> about it. Alan and Jarrod dig into &quot;Dead Man&#39;s Party&quot; — the one where a Nigerian mask of dubious provenance raises the dead, the Scoobies throw the world&#39;s most ill-advised welcome-home party, and a milquetoast blond casserole-bearer named Pat proves the gang predicted the Karen years ahead of schedule. Along the way: Giles in full Ripper mode threatening Snyder, the joy of &quot;do you like my mask?&quot;, Shatner lighting (and its inversion), an unexpected Pet Sematary detour, and whether the real metaphor is the zombies or the mask itself. Plus the eternal question — is it a gathering, a shindig, or a hootenanny? A serviceable transition episode with a muddy metaphor, sharp one-liners, and a whole lot of unburied resentment.</p><p>#BuffyTheVampireSlayer #BTVS #DeadMansParty #BuffyRewatch #WhoWatchesTheReWatchers #BuffySummers #Scoobies #Giles #Whedonverse #RewatchPodcast #TVPodcast #90sTV #VampireSlayer #BuffyS3</p>
