Love this episode! Maybe one of the best episodes of TV we've covered on this podcast in terms of technical mastery, tbh!

The waits between seasons doubled in last 10 yrs — & this piece doesn’t get into it, but when execs also demand shorter seasons, in some cases way too short, the end result = audiences that just don’t engage with shows/characters the same way. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/w...

This was the first episode I watched. Was so creative and fun, especially love Hal's OCD perfect game.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Season 5 finale aired 25 years ago today. The WB seemed openly pissed UPN had outbid them for future seasons, with both "Series Finale" and "The WB Series Finale" used in the ads, feeling like they wanted to trick people into not looking for Season 6.

Listened to this episode again in lieu of last night’s final airing of the Late Show.
