HMPC 0302 “Dead Man’s Party”  - Buffy The Vampire Slayer * Hello Sunnydale and welcome to the Hellmouth Podcast for the Buffy The Vampire Slayer Series, Season 3 Episode 02 titled “Dead Man’s Party” * For those of you who may be new to the podcast, here are all of the ways that you can be a part of the show. * Twitter @hellmouthcast * Facebook page – search for Hellmouth Podcast * as always you can email me at hellmouthpodcast@gmail.com (mailto:hellmouthpodcast@gmail.com) * www.hellmouthpodcast.com * Reminder about Facebook fans and iTunes reviews. * Podcast Promo – Knights of the Guild * The knights of the guild podcast folks is the real deal this podcast is straight from the set of the Guild. * Clear up my error in the last episode regarding continuity and the time space continuum in Ken’s half-way house. * I've just caught your Anne edition and, by now, I expect you've realized your error regarding the relative time-flow between this world and Ken's realm.  But I'm wondering if anyone has ever done the math.  Hang on - this'll get silly. Taking Ken's declaration about One Hundred Years passing below for just One Day above as a precise equation, the ratio breaks down like this: 100 Years is 3,155,760,000 seconds. 1 Day is 86,400 seconds. Thus 36,525 seconds will pass below for every single second that passes above. That's 10 hours, 5 minutes and 25 seconds for each Earthly second. if we total up the time below from when Buffy arrives at 31:11 to when she passes through the membrane back up to L.A. (at 41:50) we get a total of 1253 seconds of hell-time (just shy of 21 minutes). * His email breaks it all down with events and time estimates, etc. On Earth, while Buffy was below, how much time passed? 0.0343 seconds. She's lucky she didn't trip over herself on the way back. * So let’s get to the episode recap finally, shall we * 2 minute Buffy * Buffy’s back in Sunnydale after a Summer ‘not-so vacation’ in LA. * Joyce is having to adjust to having Buffy back in the house and the wall is feeling the pains of that adjustment as Joyce hangs an angry looking mask on the wall, oddly reminiscent of a vampire’s face. * Buffy wants to go find the Scoobies to let them know she is back in town. * Buffy finds Nighthawk prowling the streets. Xander almost stakes her as she sneaks up on him. * The gang is happy to have Buffy back but it’s not all sunshine and dales in Sunnydale. * The Scoobies take Buffy to see Giles * Giles is relieved to have Buffy back, but realizes that he isn’t going to rack up as many frequent flyer miles now on the council’s dime. * Buffy’s no longer wanted for murder but she is still expelled from school so she and her mother have to meet with Snyder to plead for readmission. * Snyder is tingly at the idea of keeping Buffy out of school despite her meeting the ‘not a murderer’ requirement for enrollment. * Willow stands Buffy up at the Espresso pump a new locale in Sunnydale. * At home, Joyce has invited the Scoobies over for dinner. * While getting the dinner plates Buffy finds a dead cat. * They bury the cat in the bushes and I don’t blame them, do you have any idea how much money the city charges for picking up dead animals? * While Buffy and her mom argue about Buffy’s school options, a surprisingly animated dead cat runs into the house. * Giles is called to come pick up the re-animated dead cat because God knows what the city would charge for that pickup.
