    The Watchers' Rewatch episode 34: Becoming part 2
    Jun 3 2026

    Well the gang are up against it. Kendra's snuffed it, Willow is unconscious, Giles is unconscious, Xander is unconscious. Everyone is unconscious. Well, not everyone.


    Angelus is trying to awaken AfalfACATHLA and ultimately it'll be up to our favourite slayer (no shade Kendra, the show is literally named after her) to save the day. But can Angel be brought back? Or will he forever be confined to the identity of Angelus and never have his own spin-off show that will last 5 seasons? Only time, or a quick Google search, will tell.

    Season 2 comes to a head. I mean, it comes to a big rock that has a head in it. I mean the head is attached to a body and limbs too...


    Look, there's a big MacGuffin. Angelus is gonna use it to swallow the world into hell (which hell? More on that later...) and that's bad. But it's ok, because he doesn't know how to do it, the good guys have more experts than the bad guys and there's a surplus of good guys. This'll go well, right? Right? ..... right?


    Also, an early apology for audio quality that's gone wonky. One of our primary recordings was lost so we used a backup and it's not great.

    Something is after the successful SunnyD High swim team! Even worse, the official name for these beasties is "Gill-Monster" which just leans a little too much into nominative determinism for me. Either way, Buffy will have to protect the swim team, which sometimes means basically stalking them. Also it sometimes means breaking a swimmer's nose. Honestly, it would've gotten even worse for him if she hadn't.

    The students and staff of Sunnydale High are reenacting a traumatic past event - because they don't have enough present-day trauma, obvs. Will this deathly cycle repeat ad infinitum? Will Buffy be able to handle her own trauma? Will Xander ever know the love of a woman? You know, in a full body sense?

    Buffy is unwell, to the point where she's hospitalised. She then sees something so freaky that it still makes me borderline psychologically unwell - the creepiest-looking monster we've seen so far in the Buffyverse (I know, you'll just have to wait till season 4 episode 'Hush' for *them*). Buffy decides, as she usually does, that violence is probably;y the answer. And as usual, she is correct!

    In one of the most emotional episodes of the show, Buffy must contend with the culmination of Angelus's sadistic games. Meanwhile, Jenny is working on a way to get herself back in Buffy's, and Giles's, good graces - by restoring Angel's soul once more.


    As a bonus, we are joined by Raging Demon of the Kommand List podcast. Check them out for all of your fighting game commentary, as well as chat about how dodgy the physics in the film 'Dead or Alive' are (seriously, *how* do those homing message shuriken things even work?)

    Xander and Cordelia are finally starting to mesh, which means it's time for them to break up. Emotionally devastated by this, Xander decides a love spell is in order. This will let him live happily ever after.... in the knowledge that he can break up with Cordy and put her through the pain he's experiencing. He intends revenge, pure as the driven snow! This being both Sunnydale and also a plan of Xander Harris, something goes wrong. Actually, more than one something. I believe the equation of how many things go wrong is "x = w - 1" where 'w' is the number of adolescent girls/women in Sunnydale and 'x' is the number of things that go wrong.

    Apr 15 2026
    As a palate-cleansing follow-up to an incredibly dramatic episode, this episode features much more light-hearted themes like body horror, loss of agency, murder for profit, and murder as a tool to torture your ex. Oh, and blatant teleportation. That one *really* got me.
