Millions of people…okay, thousands? Hundreds? So, dozens of people worldwide came together to watch the first four episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer at the same time yesterday. The first night of Buffy Rewatch went off perfectly and successfully. So much so, we trended!!!
I mean. It was for like two seconds, but who cares? We trended worldwide!! Thank you to everyone who participated and made the first night so awesome. You are a group of sexy and awesome people. Mostly sexy. (Also, I wrote my quick thoughts about the first four episodes here.) I hope you had fun because we’re doing it again! This Monday, Memorial Day, at the same time, 9:30PM EDT.
Once again, it’s Monday, May 28th at 9:30pm EDT. A lot of people were confused about the time. It’s Daylight Savings time, so the time is technically 8:30pm EST. It’s UTC -4. That’s 6:30pm in California, or Tuesday at 11:30am in Australia. If you don’t know what time 9:30pm EDT would be in your timezone, google “What time is it in New York?” and then check the time difference.
It’s just three episodes this time, because it’s Monday. And we’ll be returning every Monday at the same time for three episodes until the end of summer (unless something happens and we democratically decide to change schedules).
Monday’s schedule
9:30pm | “Never Kill a Boy on the First Day
10:15pm | “The Pack”
11:00pm | “Angel”
FAQs
Where do we watch the Buffy Rewatch? What channel is it on?
Unfortunately, we don’t have that much pull. The way you watch Buffy Rewatch is with your own merchandise. Whip out your DVDs, get on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, or whatever other ways you can watch. Y’know, legally. Ahem.
Is there a break between the episodes in the rewatch!? I needs tuh pee!
Look, we can’t micromanage the breaks and the literal, exact time people playback the episodes. But for the most part, we want everyone to be watching the same parts of an episode relatively at the same time. That’s why I like to say that the episodes should start at every 45 minute mark. That gives you about 90 seconds to run and get that second cup of soda or a short potty break or even switch DVDs (which isn’t much time, I apologize). But it’s not the end of the world if you don’t start at the exact same time. Don’t worry!
How do I talk to other people!?
Follow @NickWalsh and @NoWhiteNoise and make sure to read the #BuffyRewatch tag on Twitter. We also had, and probably will continue to have, a live chat of sorts here, if you don’t want to spam your followers. But please spam them. We need to trend again!
Who the heck are you? I don’t want to talk to you! People are the worst.
Hello, my name is Michael. And I created a TV blog. Most of the point of Buffy Rewatch is to watch with other people, like we couldn’t 15 years ago. So, I understand that you can watch your DVDs whenever you want or that you can watch more than 3 episodes in one week or night. But it’s scheduled so that the masses can be able to do the rewatch!
All right, that seems to cover it. Three episodes, mondays at 9:30pm! Remember it.
