Celtic Woman

Paintings Like That One in Giles' Office from Genevieve

-Abraham Pether's Evening scene with full moon and persons (1801): the closest match I could find in terms of composition.

-Louis Douzette's Winter Full Moon Landscape (1869): for that gorgeous lunar glow

-Aert van der Neer's Moonlit Landscape with Bridge (1648-50): this dude loved a landscape, I highly recommend checking out his other stuff.

-John Atkinson Grimshaw's Reflections on the Thames (1880): this dude loved some moonlight!

-J.M.W. Turner's Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons, October 16, 1834 (1835): if you're not married to a night landscape with the moon, this guy does some awesome impressionistic stuff with light.

Welcome to Once More, With Spoilers, where Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs revisit every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one at a time — for the SECOND time! — this time discussing each episode with spoilers!

The end is pretty seriously nigh, prophecies are prophesying, the Master is at peak drama (giving Angel a run for his money), Cordelia drives her car through the hallways of Sunnydale High, the Hellmouth cracks open, and Buffy just keeps fighting.

We couldn’t be more excited to share with you (as two newly published authors!!!) our second coverage, with spoilers, of the season one finale of Buffy: “Prophecy Girl.”

It is time for our second Watcher's Diary — and this entry has it *all*! We've got emails about Xena, Painted Dogs (the saga continues!), the ongoing mystery of Where Jenny Calendar Dangles It, and also the succulent topic of eating spiders. We opine on What Dawn Was Doing in the episode "Nightmares," and we have a special segment where we share some of the most wonderful Buffy Prom stories of all time from our listeners. Enjoy!

See some of you this weekend at PROM!

Welcome to Once More, With Spoilers, where Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs revisit every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one at a time — for the SECOND time! — this time discussing each episode with spoilers!

Today we are joined by extra special guest Hrishikesh Hirway as we confront our many subconscious fears: public performance, MURDER CLOWNS, bad hair days, and more! Now if it were us, we'd simply never start collecting live spiders, thus removing the threat they might one day accidentally perish under a left-on-too-long heat lamp and eventually seek their spidery vengeance... but to each their own, right Wendell? This episode has something for everyone: There's camp! There's laughs! There's a father’s — I mean Watcher’s — love for his daughter — I mean Slayer!

So meet us (and the rest of the Chess Club) for Season 1 Episode 10: “Nightmares.”
