Scholars often consider life's biggest questions -- morality and mortality, for example. And so does Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The TV show has developed a cult following of sorts among the academic crowd. But only two episodes of the show remain before Buffy leaves the air for good. We'll discuss what this means for the future of what some have termed Buffy studies.
The audio for this program will be available online after 9PM ET, 6PM PT
Dan note: heh. Just after Buffy Airs in the ET/CT zone.
I thought this was worth a reminder:

Posted here for people who may be planning on attending the F2F but who don't read the thread:
Please review the lists below. These indicate whether or not we have planned for your presence.
If you or a friend are not on the list, please contact me immediately.
These people are confirmed and have paid for Prom tickets for Saturday night:
CaBil, Ms. Havisham, Madrigal, Emily, Erin, elphaba, ita, Dana, Susan W., Laura Holt +1, DX, Jon B, Erikaj, Jen, DavidS, JZ + 2, JessPMoon, Fay NoiseDesign, Aimee, MM, Steph, Allyson, Aurelia, Nicole, Deb Grabien, Perkins, PMM +1, Tom Scola, Jilli +1, Java Cat,meara, Betsy, Shawn, Trudy, Theodosia
These people have said they will be at the F2F, but have not yet purchased a Prom ticket:
Sean, Karl + 2, Beth + 1.
These are the people who may be attending, but I cannot tell based on the posts from today so I'd like to hear from them asap:
shrift, Nutty, Consuela.
Is anyone planning on attending and not on this list? I hate to be a bitch about this, but if I don't know you are coming, then it's highly conceivable we're going to fuck up on things like food and space, for during the prom and rooms. While it's really cool and exciting that our numbers have swelled so much, we originally planned for 35-45. And our numbers now are closer to 55 which is freaking Allyson (and vicariously me) out a bit.
So please, READ THE LIST. If you are planning on coming and are not on a list above, please e-mail me at kgullo@earthlink.net immediately.
here's the deal, if you are planning on being there, you must tell me by COB on Friday. You can waffle on payment as long as 5/20. But if you do not email me with "I am planning on being there," then I will assume you will not be attending.
