And we're off!
Here we are, folks, ready to begin the Great Buffyverse Rewatch of 2015.
To begin at the beginning...
This is intended to be as inclusive as possible. If you want to watch only one episode in a week and comment on that one, or watch more slowly and add comments to a post later, that's fine. If you want to create a new post to discuss something again, that's also fine. If you want to post artwork or fic relevant to the discussion, that is absolutely fine, though please do so in separate posts - members should be able to post OK, but drop me a PM, (or bogwitch, shapinglight or rebcake) if you have a problem.
Please feel free to discuss as much as you want. We will assume everyone has already seen the show once at least, so if you feel the need to point out foreshadowing or references to what comes next, that's OK.
So, here we go
We start this week with Welcome to the Hellmouth, in which Joyce asks Buffy to avoid expulsion, Willow drinks from a water fountain, Giles has a book and Xander falls off his skateboard.
The other half of the opening two-parter is The Harvest, in which Angel is mysterious, Luke forgets the time, Darla is thwarted and Giles is pessimistic.
And to round off our opening trio we have The Witch, is which Giles feels Buffy is prey to a dangerous cult, Xander enjoys the scenery and Amy is not yet a rat. And, despite the show's title, there are no vampires in this episode.
So, when did you first see these? What was your initial reaction? And now? We'll be back with discussion prompts on Thursday, but feel free to comment and debate below.
