Doppelgangland (Buffy and the Art of Story S3 E16)

Buffy and the Art of Story Podcast CoverThis week on Buffy and the Art of StoryDoppelgangland (Season 3 Episode 16 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer), where Vampire Willow returns. This podcast episode looks at:

(1) the first scene – initial conflict or prologue? (2) is Willow both protagonist and antagonist? (3) a very subtle Midpoint; and (4) using subplots and story questions to keep viewers coming back.

As always, the discussion of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is spoiler-free, except at the end (with plenty of warning).
