Description
Melanie and Sean start this episode off on a serious note, discussing the xenophobia in the portrayal of African and Maori mythology present in the Buffy episode "The Pack". They share their experience with bullying in middle and high school before moving on to the more lighthearted topic of school spirit (which involves Melanie in a penguin costume.)
As they get further into "The Pack" they touch on a variety of topics including geometry, croissants at the bronze (seriously what kind of club is this?) and how much of a jerk hyena-Xander was. There's also mourning of Prinicpal Flutie and Herbert, the Sunnydale High pig mascot. Although this episode starts with a significant topic, there's also a lot of laughter throughout. We're halfway through Season 1!
