0:28.1	exclamation point, colon, once more with spoilers, dot, dot, dot, scrollingrolling text rising up the screen.
0:40.4	Jesus Christ.
0:41.7	In a galaxy that's actually right here at a time that is now, we are making a podcast for the second time.
0:51.7	All about Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. Except when we make Watchers Diaries, which decidedly are sort of about Buffy and sort of not. They're about whatever we want them to be. And they're a good time, in my opinion. The other day, a friend of mine was like, I was like catching them up on my survivor journey, which of course we'll get into. But she was like,
1:11.9	do you ever think about making a survivor podcast? And I was like, absolutely not. And I was like,
1:16.2	dot, dot, dot. But I guess I kind of am scratching the itch by talking about it nonstop on my Buffy podcast.
1:23.5	Yeah. I mean, so this is like, you know, you know how if you just like repeat something, if something is repeated enough, like slowly the hooks sink into you.

2:14.7	So we haven't watched it yet.
2:21.7	Because you can't do it together. Friends first.
2:29.4	Right, exactly. We have... Brose before probes. Yes. Exactly. As I always, always am saying,
2:38.6	we have a weekly watch party on Thursdays when there's a season that's live. So we will be watching tonight. We're recording this episode Thursday, February 26th, just to give people a timestamp in now.
2:46.1	And you want to know? Do you want to know where I ended up? Yeah, I want to know.
