I LOVE Pangs. I think it might be my favorite regular episode. I seriously laugh the whole time I am watching it. I particularly love the sad, sad music when Spike is hungry and begging at the door.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

It's like ritual sacrafice. With pie.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Dude, "Pangs" is awesome.
Buffy: They’re gonna be mushy.
Willow: They won’t be mushy.
Giles: I like mushy peas.
Buffy: You’re the reason we have to have Pilgrims in the first place!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
"So this is Angel. He's large and glowery, isn't he?"
"I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?"
"Angel's here to protect Buffy."
"I haven't been evil for a long time!"

Comments from Spoils:
Pangs is even worse than I remember it. What a godawful mess.
the dialogue is often really funny! But everything about the thanksgiving/indigenous peoples/genocide plot line is extra cringeworthy.
So yeah.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They are so totes interrogating the text from the wrong perspective. As if.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
"So this is Angel. He's large and glowery, isn't he?"
Damn it, Angel was in "Dopplegangland." Anya may have been more focused on getting her Necklace of Evil back, but he was there!
Sorry. I am fueled by pedantry.
But everything about the thanksgiving/indigenous peoples/genocide plot line is extra cringeworthy.
And it's clear from the episode that the show is advocating genocide, AMIRITE?
t edit I'm glad I started watching BTVS before I knew I needed to be outraged about things.
