I will be doing my best to watch every Tuesday between 7:30 and 9:30 pm – West Coast time – before reading that week’s post online at Nikki’s blog! I love thinking about my Buffy peeps watching all over the world and hope you will join us over the coming year!
Anything watchable (lol) for the eastcoasters? (I’m one of ’em.)
It’s watch as you want. I’m saying that my goal is to watch at that time! 🙂
Having gone through the entire series during 2010 (I just happened to be starting season 5 right before Clare Kramer answered my invitation to join our Comic-Con panel), I can say this is definitely worthwhile. Watching with the perspective of 2011 eyes and sharing it as a common experience with other fans is a great idea.
“sharing it as a common experience with other fans is a great idea.”
Yes, Kat! This. Exactly. One of the best things about the Buffy course we did at UW (http://www.ink-stainedamazon.com/chid496/index.html) was watching and talking about episodes with a group of people – people who I both bonded with deeply and who pushed my critical thinking and perspective. Being able to do that again, but on a larger, if less intimate, scale is something I am very much looking forward to!
Excited to hear what you have to say! (And Clare, too, if she’s into it! 😉
Thanks for the shout-out, Jennifer! I’m so excited to see what everyone else is going to write. It’s gonna be a fun year. 😉
Nikki – Thank YOU for putting this all together!!!
Thanks for the mention, Jennifer! I am already noticing so many new things and I may very well post my thoughts on episodes outside of my delineated weeks as I engage in the conversations because there is just so much to say!
