Surprise is the thirteenth episode
from Buffy the Vampire Slayer's second season. In this epic
two-part event, Buffy's birthday has arrived, which basically seems
to always coincide with lots of sex and lots of death. Go figure.
Meanwhile, Spike and Dru are planning their own celebration, in
honor of resurrecting the world's oldest and scariest Smurf (for
now, but more on that later. Much, much later), more commonly known
as The Judge.
Rachel Gatlin and I discuss wheelchair-bound vampires, the rules of
pranking on party guests and the smooth pimpness of Angel and Oz.
We also talk briefly about the passing of veteran, character actor,
Vincent Schiavelli. Like I said, lots of sex and lots of death.
Halfway through season two, and the party is still going
strong.
As per usual, please listen for the preemptive countdown before
starting the episode on your DVD.
