Prophecy Girls: A Buffy Rewatch Podcast

Steph and Kara review this iconic millennial take on Superman’s origin story. First, a meteor shower in Smallville, Kansas, alters the lives of this small town’s residents forever. Lana Lang loses her parents. Lex Luthor loses his hair. And Jonathan and Martha Kent adopt a boy who really isn’t from around here. Years later, that boy has grown up to become Tom Welling, and it’s time for the world to meet his abs. Then, Lana Lang is That Girl. She has a drawer full of awards to prove it. Unfortunately, this also means she’s prone to being kidnapped, and when bug guy Greg sets his sights on her, she needs somebody to saaaaaaave her, and Clark thinks he might be The One.

First, Angel returns from a grief sabbatical. When he kills a vampire from his past, her lover—also a vampire who used to roll with Angelus—swears revenge. Cordelia sees this as a great time to get Angel to talk about his feelings. Then, Cordelia’s visions, which have been growing more and more painful, start to manifest as physical injuries to her body. Angel soon learns that Lilah has something to do with it, and if he wants her to stop, he’ll need to pay a steep price. Gavin does lawyer things.
