b"We're baaaaaaaaaccccckkkkk!
It's been a few weeks since we covered Buffy, and Money gets back and finds there's a spinoff!

Buffy and (most of) the gang are at UC Rancho Cucamonga, and the episode does a good job of conveying the angst and terror of being a kid away from home for the first time. Naturally there's a group of vampires hanging out on campus, because Buffy can never get a break. Also Sunday is my favorite vampire so far (suck it, Spike!).

Angel, however, decides to start his own business, helping people. And I got to admit, this episode kind of sucks. Doyle is nothing but an exposition machine, and Cordelia (There you are!) is really off her game. After a particularly uninteresting mystery involving some blonde lady, it turns out . .. there's a vampire in town. Predicatble.

Great to be back, y'all!"
