The Sadie Hawkins dance is coming up and Buffy is off the dating track… “forever”. There are two love birds that still have some issues to work out, to bad they are both dead. Giles thinks the ghostly activity is Jenny trying to finish up some unresolved issues while the rest of the gang just want to get the deadly incident to stop repeating. Eventually our dead star crossed lovers find the best hosts for their deadly rerun in Buffy and Angelus but not quite the way one might expect.

    • hey! it’s the Kristen from the voicemail (which bee-tea-dubs was the highlight of my day)

      just wanted to say thanks for including me in the podcast and explain the quote thing

      since i sent the voice mail i got an email from the yearbook staff saying that they mixed mine up with someone else’s which was “Don’t sweat the petty things and don’t pet the sweaty things” (which i personally think is funny) but its too late to change it back so mine is “It seems like we’re always dealing with creatures from outer space. Except that we don’t ever do that.” which i think is extremely appropriate for high school (i.e. administrators) and my high school is actually a huge performing arts school in manhattan, so my graduating class is in the hundreds but since we’re an art school they want us to “express ourselves” so we get to have quotes in the year book (if you’ve ever seen the movie Fame (1) yes thats my high school and (2) no we don’t break out into song and dance in the cafeteria … just the chem labs which they aren’t to keen about

      Also i have a suggestion for the Watchercast: Twitter
      there are a million benefits for a Watchercast twitter:
      1. updates between podcasts so you don’t leave us hanging
      2. FREE advertisement by following people
      3. Eliza Dushku, Amber Benson, Tom Lenk, Adam Busch, Miracle Laurie, Whedonesque, Nathan Fillion, ALYSON HANNIGAN, Dichen Lacman, Marti Noxon, Juliet Landau, Felicia Day, Dr. Horrible, and I have twitter accounts so you can follow us which is the coolest thing cause people on twitter were the first to find out about Dollhouse, Eliza kept everyone updated on her trip to Africa including amazing pictures, Alyson posts the cutest stuff about her daughter, Amber and Adam post the funniest pictures/links and its just awesome
      4. I have one
      5. Joss might have one eventually
      6. Its awesome

      Oh and the podcast was really good =D

    • Alaina:

      Hey guys!

      Love your podcast. Just to comment on the Sadie Hawkins dance; apparently the concept originated from a 1937 Li’l Abner comic strip according to wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadie_Hawkins_dance

      Weird and random. Anyway, keep up the good work!

    • Bobbie:

      Loved the podcast guys, keep it up. Only just found you a few weeks ago but I’m up to date now with all your old shows so can’t wait for the next. Only just got a chance to start watching Dollhouse too (apparently it just started over here in the uk anyway but I’ve been watching it online) so I’ll be ready for your dollwatchercast when it’s up and running.

      Oh and for Kriten, turns out Joss does have a Twitter, hasn’t posted much though https://twitter.com/joshwhedon

    • oh yea i forgot, i always get it messed up cause its under Josh which i guess is a joke, but when i look in my followers thingie i never recognize it :P

    • Jen:

      Hey guy, as always, great podcast!!
      1st of all – I almost just signed up for Twitter when I saw that Joss has
      a Twitter page. I’ve been deadset against Twitter, but the idea of
      getting inside Joss’s head had me signing up.
      2nd – CANNOT WAIT until the Dollhouse podcast is up and running. I
      checked several sites to make sure that it’s really true b/c if they just
      left me hanging after that finale…I was going to have issues. Kathleen
      and Troy, have you seen the finale yet??? I did the same thing in the
      preview for that episode “It’s Wash!” Then I had to explain to my mom
      who he was… Sad note, my best friend only knows him from 28 Days.
      Also saw that Castle of ABC has been renewed. Are you guys watching that? It’s
      terrible, but I like the weekly Nathan Fillion.

      Okay, I Only Have Eyes for You…The first thing that stuck out in my
      head was the makeup on David’s lips. It’s either pink lipstick or
      completely blotting out color. Good episode, love Giles and his
      sorrowness, but then again, I always love Giles.

      Just saw the poll on the side of the page…PLEASE schedule the live
      video! I will watch it and the episode and post as many geeky comments
      as possible.

      Also have to tell you that you guys have gotten me to buy my very first
      comic books of my life. I was on vacation and listening to you guys
      talking about the comics and I had to go out and buy the first one.

      Thanks for renewing my love in Buffy!!

      Jen

    • jords:

      Love the show (as usual)! “I Only Have Eyes For You” is one of my least fave eps of the season, so thanks for making me not want to skip this ep of the podcast…I knew you lot could make me enjoy it.

      I’m one of those weirdos who actually like “Go Fish” (I can’t help it, Xander’s “undercover” scenes are some of the funniest ever filmed) so I am really looking forward to hearing your thoughts. I know that ep is pretty universally reviled, so I’ll be curious to hear if any of the Watchercast crew enjoys that ep. It’s so overshadowed by “Becoming” pts 1 & 2 it tends to get lost in the shuffle, but I really like it. (Plus, Wentworth Miller. And crazy Russian fish/DNA splicing! And sadistic coaches being eaten. What’s not to love?)

      Keep up the awesome work!

      PS: Congrats Kathleen & Troy! Ya’all are gonna make awesome parents!

    • Austin:

      Hi! This is the first time I’ve commented on here, but I just had to because this is the best podcast I’ve ever listened too. You guys are all hillarious and I find myself laughing out loud at alot of the stuff you say. I can even listen to them more than once.

      Keep up the amazing work!
