Welcome (Back) to the Hellmouth

Welcome to Coffeemakers That Think: A project for world domination! masqthephlsphr and I have been talking about this project for a while, so we are very excited to begin.

To summarize: we're going to be rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer from the beginning, and taking a look at the different themes, motifs, ideas, philosophies, etc. that we notice. In other words, we'll be doing "meta" (although Masq hates that term).

We'll be getting together regularly to watch a few episodes, after which we'll do a podcast in which we chat about what we've seen. Think of it as the "unplugged" version, with much rambling, many unformed ideas, multiple digressions, and occasionally lost trains of thought.

After that, we'll also be posting (separately, or maybe sometimes together) our written thoughts over the days that follow each viewing. Hopefully. I'm sure masqthephlsphr's written posts will be carefully thought out and well phrased, but I can't guarantee that my own will be all that much better than the podcast. Sometimes they may just be random fragments that occur to me (after all, even world domination has to begin with baby steps).

We're thrilled with our little project, and I know we're going to have a lot of fun doing it. We hope you'll have a lot of fun following along, and of course commenting if you feel so moved.

To start, here's our first podcast. Which is, very obviously, our first podcast. I promise we'll be less rambly and giggly in the future. Who knew we'd find world domination so very amusing?

Sit down and have some coffee with us.

Edited to add: Even though we start at the very beginning here, a) we tend to, uh, ramble off-track a fair bit (we'll try to be better about this in the future), and b) we do discuss the series as a whole, and make frequent references to events throughout the show's seven seasons. Including, possibly, AtS. So if you haven't seen everything, this and future podcasts may contain spoilers. Proceed at your own risk. Which is good advice, anyway, even if you have seen all the episodes.
