The Resurrection

The Watchers' Diaries — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 20:00:00 -0500

It's a little eerie how timely this episode's become. Between Buffy's world being on literal fire and the rhetoric of the demon bikers... We discuss it all (and give a shout out to a VERY awesome book series) tonight. On a brand new episode.

On the Run

The Watchers' Diaries — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 20:00:00 -0500

Kind of like Band on the Run; only not. This week, we head out of Sunnydale and to a desert...shack? You can't quite call it an oasis. And considering the shambles everyone's lives are about to be in, shack seems pretty accurate.

And You Thought Normal Circuses Were Freaky...

The Watchers' Diaries — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 20:00:00 -0500

It's Book Club week and that means we're headed back to St. Louis and The Circus of the Damned. This one's an interesting one -- not only does it introduce one of our favorite characters in the series, but it also introduces a trend that will ultimately be why we abandoned the series in the first place...

Prompt Intervention

The Watchers' Diaries — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 20:00:00 -0500

We honestly can't remember which international title we originally chose, but looking back at them, "Prompt Intervention" made us giggle. We're back with a very important episode -- really the episode that kicks off the rest of the season (as well as the genuine Spike and Buffy relationship). It's "Intervention!"

Love Robot

The Watchers' Diaries — Tue, 07 May 2024 20:00:00 -0500

When they said 'love makes you do the wacky', they weren't kidding. As sometimes, love...or a sick and twisted version there of, causes you to build a robot. A poor, sweet robot who deserves none of your bullshit. Clearly we have opinions on this episode. So come join us, as we discuss them along with Mr. Frog! Huzzah! It's "I Was Made to Love You"!

Having been teens in the 90s and early 2000s, we couldn't help but hear the refrain of Jennifer Paige's song every time we mentioned the actual name of this episode. If you know, you know.

Operation Cordelia

The Watchers' Diaries — Tue, 10 Aug 2021 20:00:00 -0500

Anyone else think this week's title sounds like it should be the codename of some top secret mission? I mean, I guess in a way it is. The mission to find the "creature feature"-esque Darryl his perfect mate. People really need to stop looking to Victor Frankenstein as a role model. It's "Some Assembly Required"...

We're back for Season Two! And what better way to start our new season then by dissecting all the trauma our heroine has been put through thus far. And, you know, making fun of the Annoying One. Because who doesn't love that. It's "When She Was Bad..."

We Saved the World, I Say We Party

The Watchers' Diaries — Tue, 06 Jul 2021 20:00:00 -0500

It's our Season One Debrief! In which we go over a few stats, discuss our favorite (and least favorite) episodes of the season, and play a little Buffy trivia. We also talk about what's to come in Season Two and reveal Froggeh's secret, guilty pleasure reading. All in all, it's a great wrap up to what we think was a spectacular (if not sometimes crazy) season!

Without Buffy You Live Longer

The Watchers' Diaries — Tue, 20 Apr 2021 20:00:00 -0500

A little harsh? Maybe. But we promise we explain our reasoning for it in the episode. This week we talk "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date" which...fair. Seems kind of rude. Thankfully, Dylan is on hand to tell us just which date you should wait until.
