The Watchers' Rewatch

The Watchers' Rewatch episode 32: Go Fish

Something is after the successful SunnyD High swim team! Even worse, the official name for these beasties is "Gill-Monster" which just leans a little too much into nominative determinism for me. Either way, Buffy will have to protect the swim team, which sometimes means basically stalking them. Also it sometimes means breaking a swimmer's nose. Honestly, it would've gotten even worse for him if she hadn't. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

The Watchers' Rewatch episode 31: I Only Have Eyes For You

The students and staff of Sunnydale High are reenacting a traumatic past event - because they don't have enough present-day trauma, obvs. Will this deathly cycle repeat ad infinitum? Will Buffy be able to handle her own trauma? Will Xander ever know the love of a woman? You know, in a full body sense? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Watchers' Rewatch episode 30: Killed by Death

Buffy is unwell, to the point where she's hospitalised. She then sees something so freaky that it still makes me borderline psychologically unwell - the creepiest-looking monster we've seen so far in the Buffyverse (I know, you'll just have to wait till season 4 episode 'Hush' for *them*). Buffy decides, as she usually does, that violence is probably;y the answer. And as usual, she is correct! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Watchers' Rewatch episode 29: Passion

In one of the most emotional episodes of the show, Buffy must contend with the culmination of Angelus's sadistic games. Meanwhile, Jenny is working on a way to get herself back in Buffy's, and Giles's, good graces - by restoring Angel's soul once more. As a bonus, we are joined by Raging Demon of the Kommand List podcast. Check them out for all of your fighting game commentary, as well as chat about how dodgy the physics in the film 'Dead or Alive' are (seriously, *how* do those homing message shuriken things even work?) ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Watchers' Rewatch episode 28: Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered

Xander and Cordelia are finally starting to mesh, which means it's time for them to break up. Emotionally devastated by this, Xander decides a love spell is in order. This will let him live happily ever after.... in the knowledge that he can break up with Cordy and put her through the pain he's experiencing. He intends revenge, pure as the driven snow! This being both Sunnydale and also a plan of Xander Harris, something goes wrong. Actually, more than one something. I believe the equation of how many things go wrong is "x = w - 1" where 'w' is the number of adolescent girls/women in Sunnydale and 'x' is the number of things that go wrong. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
