00:00 – 15:00 Two days after this episode aired for the first time, the band Radiohead released the album OK Computer. I mention this particular fact for two reasons, neither of which is the fact that I’m a huge Radiohead fan. Sure, I liked “Creep.” Who didn’t? Well, Thom Yorke perhaps, if the rumors are […]

15:01 – 30:00 It’s not unusual in Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the teaser and first act of an episode to conclude at about at the fifteen-minute mark. It is rare for Act I to end at exactly the fifteen-minute mark, though, and that’s what it did this time. This is apropos of nothing. Just […]
