4.1 – "The Freshman"

"Oh, I'm not really into porn. I mean, I'm just trying to cut way back."

Welcome to Okay, Bury a Potato. No, That's for Warts, also known as If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me! This week we begin Season 4 (!!!) of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We start where Buffy started 20 years ago: "The Freshman."

In this episode, we talk plots and firsts (2:00) then college (8:00). When we get to the episode itself (25:00), we discuss Riley, Sunday and the '90s aesthetic, the Initiative as tantalizing instead of infuriating, and how our friends are dealing with life's changes. We yell a lot (34:00), have a few failed Watches (1:04:00) and rank the episode (1:12:00).
