The Great Buffy Rewatch Archive

UPDATE: With the Buffy Rewatch over, I wanted to pull this archive post (which originally appeared in March) up to the top, for anyone who wanted a quick reference guide of where to find what episode, and also for anyone who is now finished and wanted to go back to see the spoiler posts. Quick word of caution: there's some Angel S5 talk in there, but it's mostly near the end.

At the behest of many people jumping in partway (and wanting to quickly catch up), here's your one-stop clickthrough guide to the Buffy Rewatch so far. I'll update this weekly so you can go back to any of the previous entries you may have missed. For first-time watchers, this will be a handy guide if you'd like to go back to the beginning when you're done and check out some of the spoilery comments on the other boards (or check out what I've been hiding under the invisible ink!).

For each week I'll provide the link to both the main post and the spoiler post (in some weeks, there's a large post on the spoiler board). An asterisk (*) indicates the names of the guest hosts for that week.

This is awesome, thanks so much! I plan to do all vampires this summer with True Blood and Buffy. I just got the Buffy season 1 box set from a friend (to borrow).

Blam said...


Cool! I've been wanting a post like this to link to from my own blog.

There's invisible ink?!?!

EsDee said...

Hey, Nikki, I have finally embarked on watching Buffy and am up to the end of Season 4. Loving it, by the way. No wonder you all have been gushing all these years! Anyway, when I go to the past rewatch posts, it only goes up to part way through the 4th season. Am I missing another link?
Thanks for keeping these up on your site. The analysis is unbelievable. Here I thought I was just enjoying a cool TV show...

Nikki Stafford said...

@EsDee: Oh my gosh, no, that's just me being terrible at updating the archive!! Thanks for the nudge... we're nearing the end of S6 now, so I'll get it updated. ;) (If you go down the left side of the page to "Buffy Rewatch" and click on that label, you'll see all of the posts.)

Cynthea said...

This list is great, Nikki. I can work my way gradually through all the entries I haven't had a chance to read because of various work commitments.
