Link Tank: How an Old Buffy Episode Captures Social Media in 2020

A once-banned episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer perfectly captures what it’s like to be on social media in 2020. “‘Earshot,’ the season three episode of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, is infamous for some not-great reasons.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Complete Series

Highly Recommended The Show:In today's installment of you are old, did you know that the then-UPN show Buffy the Vampire Slayer quietly celebrated its 20th anniversary this year. Yes, it's 20 years old. Inspired by the 1992 film, the show was received with initial adoration and better than expected critical praise, and exploded into a show that helped dwarf its cinematic older sister with humor and romance sort of in the same vein as the film, but bringing larger themes and conflicts for its characters into larger light, one or two of them being notable historically. With this time marker…
