Shadow S5 E8 (Buffy and the Art of Story Podcast)

Buffy and the Art of Story podcast coverThis time on Buffy and the Art of Story, Shadow, where Joyce waits for answers and Buffy fights a cobra demon who could reveal the truth about Dawn. This podcast episode recaps Shadow (Season 5 Episode 8 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and focuses on:

(1) the way the episode weaves the cobra demon main plot into the subplots about Riley’s and Buffy’s inner conflicts; (2) how Buffy’s pursuit of the demon shows the viewers her emotional turmoil; (3) different ways to read Buffy’s need to keep it together v. Riley’s need to be needed; and (4) more about Riley in a conversation with special guest Roberta Lipp.

Spoiler-free, except at the end (with plenty of warning).
