The watchers gathered for The Puppet Show. Someone killed the ballerina, and Sunnydale staff is just so done with dead students.

Who's the bad guy? Is it the creepy puppet? His owner? The scary new ferengi principal? Or one of the other talentless talent show entrants Gile's has been forced to corral?

The Watchers gathered for Angel - the mythology episode that revealed Angel's vampiric truth. 

We discuss racial slurs, proper semi-automatic pistol firing technique, Hamilton (but, c'mon. I mean... we always discuss Hamilton), 90's fashion (another thing we always do), Problematic Xander is problematic, why Angel doesn't tell Buffy that Darla has permission to come into her house, and how it's hard to take Neidermeyer seriously as the Master (spoiler - it's cause he's Neidermeyer)

Xander got hot all of a sudden. 

We talk about the attraction of bad boys, the non-benefits of forgetting, and whether lines where crossed by Xander.

Willow is still smart, Buffy is kind, and when not possessed by an evil hyena spirit, Xander is good.

"The Five will die, and from their ashes the Anointed shall rise."

...but in the meantime, Buffy has a date and none of the men in her life are OK with it.

Conversation topics include Sunnydale High's dress code, which Hogwart's houses the Scooby Gang would belong to, which Hogwart's houses the Watchers would belong to, remaining friends after a break up, and whether Owen should have just joined up with the Scooby Gang.

Also, we should really learn to listen to each other more and be good allies and people worthy of having an ally.

Also, SMG is super short.

The Watchers discuss Teacher's Pet. A new teacher comes in to teach biology, and she plans to teach Xander a LOT about biology. In this episode the Watchers discuss the difficulties of being a teenager, including the stigma attached to virginity, Angel's bizarre devotion to being cryptic, The Jacket, and a lot of talk about Xander's character.

Also in this episode - it's super important to listen to each other. The more you know...
