The Zeppo (Buffy the Vampire Slayer S3 E13)

Buffy and the Art of Story Podcast CoverThis week on Buffy and the Art of StoryThe Zeppo (Season 3 Episode 13 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer), where Xander has a very strange night. This podcast episode talks about:

(1) why Xander is the protagonist; (2) whether a scene can be from the point of view of a character not in it; (3) the effect of a deliberately unfinished subplot; and (4) character growth through conflict.

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