April 22, 2026 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.

April 15, 2026 The Watchers' Rewatch episode 27: Phases
As a palate-cleansing follow-up to an incredibly dramatic episode, this episode features much more light-hearted themes like body horror, loss of agency, murder for profit, and murder as a tool to torture your ex. Oh, and blatant teleportation. That one *really* got me.

April 08, 2026 The Watchers' Rewatch episode 26: Innocence
Angel does all the things that men do after sleeping with their partner for the first time: leave while they're still sleeping, casually disregard their emotions afterwards, say "Love you too" without meaning it... lose his soul, eat a random woman whilst somehow inhaling her cigarette smoke, physically attack your friends, taunt you about your unwillingness to kill him, and support an apocalypse monster in its goal to wipe out all humanity in the world until it gets destroyed in spectacular fashion. You know - the *classics*.

April 01, 2026 The Watchers' Rewatch episode 25: Surprise
Buffy's 17th birthday is approaching, as are the various body parts of The Judge. Emotions will be high, plots will be revealed, foiled, and brought to completion. Character revelations will be... revealed! And Buffy will go through *three* outfits in one night due to getting the first one wet and the second one... look, there's apparently a lot of water in this one, ok?

March 25, 2026 The Watchers' Rewatch episode 24: Bad Eggs
Buffy finds herself inside a story about a hive mind that is controlling people, only it's a really really *poor* version of that story unlike Ender's Game, The Borg, The Faculty, or anything tangential like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. And we are both *very* grumpy about how badly this episode presents almost everything. If you thought I was harsh on 'Witch' then hold onto your stakes because we have almost nothing positive to say about this episode!

March 18, 2026 The Watchers' Rewatch episode 23: Ted
After an incredibly underwhelming explanation of why the Order of Taraka are no longer chasing Buffy ("Angel's contacts say the contract is off" - How? Why? Since when does Mr. Brooding have 'sources' with access to this level of information? When did their raison d'être shift so significantly? I WANT A COMIC TO EXPLAIN ALL OF THIS) she, along with the audience, discover that Joyce has a new boyfriend. A new boyfriend who is very likeable and has massive boundary issues that he hides with 'mini pizzas' (if it's not thin crust it's not a pizza don't EVEN get me started on top of this Order of Taraka nonsense) and software upgrades. Things get worse, then a *lot* worse, then a different kind of worse which is kinda better.

March 04, 2026 The Watchers' Rewatch episode 21: What's My Line? Part 1
It's career fair day.... week.... generic period of time that we prove doesn't start on a Monday but is retroactively referred to as 'week' even after the initial banner doesn't specify that.... ANYWAY... Spike is working on restoring Dru to full strength and doesn't want the Slayer's interference. He sends in the 'big guns', the Order of Taraka to keep her busy. One of the suspected members of the order turns out to be... someone unexpected. Is it a suspicious ploy? Are there members of this order that we haven't noticed? Why do I use '....' so much? Some (but not all) of these answers await!

February 25, 2026 The Watchers' Rewatch episode 20: The Dark Age
People that Giles used to know are turning up dead (sometimes shortly after turning up alive). At least that means we get to see more Ethan in this episode! Also, more versions of Jenny! Flirty Jenny, amorous Jenny, scared Jenny, questionable skincare Jenny, glowing eyes Jenny and even Jenny with extra protrusions!
