Buffy the Gilmore Slayer: A Buffy and Gilmore Girls Podcast

Gilmore Girls S7 E8 "Introducing Lorelai Planetarium"/Buffy S7 E8 "Sleeper" After mingling with some new people out on the town, Rory and Spike come to the realization that they were maybe kinda mean recently.

Buffy S7 E7 "Conversations with Dead People"/Gilmore Girls S7 E7 "French Twist" Both shows have 3 separate stories, following our female leads or their friends, and twist... they all have twist endings. Buffy and Rory show a little vulnerability, but end up in uncomfortable situations with some guys they used to know, after finding out they have mutual acquaintances. Spike, Lor...

Gilmore Girls S7 E6 "Go, Bulldogs!"/Buffy S7 E6 "Him" One's sewn onto a bespelled, hand-me-down jacket, and one's a whole novel written on a nametag, but these boys are sporting their emblems proudly. It might be because there's a love spell in the air, or because it's parents weekend, but let's just say things are getting a little "adult" on...

Buffy S7 E5 "Selfless"/Gilmore Girls S7 E5 "The Great Stink" Anya must face the consequences after conjuring a murderous spider demon, and Rory's not exactly thrilled about the leggy creature Logan brought back from London.

We learn Bu...

Buffy S7 E3 "Same Time, Same Place"/Gilmore Girls S7 E3 "Lorelai's First Cotillion" One's a sweet little girl learning etiquette in Connecticut, and the other's a flesh-eating demon straight out of children's nightmares, who likes to take his time when he eats, okay?

In this special episode, we recap our thoughts on Season 6. We count down our top 5 moments from both shows, discuss our least favorite moments, reveal our favorite episodes, share some predictions, point out some similarities, and decide which show was better overall. These seasons were all about people struggling, hiding their true feelings, people sadly leaving for England, and some truly disas...

Buffy S6 E20 "Villains"/Gilmore Girls S6 E20 "Super Cool Party People" Whether it's because Lorelai's taken over their birthday party, or because they sucked a bunch of books into their body, the girls are getting makeovers!!

Buffy S6 E16 "Hell's Bells"/Gilmore Girls S6 E16 "Bridesmaids Revisited" The same writer (Rebecca Rand Kirshner) wrote both episodes, and boy did she draw some inspiration from herself.

Buffy S6 E10 "Wrecked"/Gilmore Girls S6 E10 "He's Slippin' Em Bread...Dig?"
