And You Thought Normal Circuses Were Freaky...

Kind of like Band on the Run; only not. This week, we head out of Sunnydale and to a desert...shack? You can't quite call it an oasis. And considering the shambles everyone's lives are about to be in, shack seems pretty accurate.

You take a bit of Ripper, a sneak peek of Dark Willow, and Buffy doing her best to be an adult and what do you get?

Again, we are SO sorry for this and will not blame anyone who just skips this episode. Next episode it is back to normal!

It's Book Club week and that means we're headed back to St. Louis and The Circus of the Damned. This one's an interesting one -- not only does it introduce one of our favorite characters in the series, but it also introduces a trend that will ultimately be why we abandoned the series in the first place...Warning: This podcast is NOT spoiler free.Twitter: https://twitter.com/diarieswatchersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/watchersdiaries/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewatchersdiariesTumblr: https://twd-podcast.tumblr.com/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewatchersdiariesLike last week's episode (and next week's), this episode has some audio issues. We apologize in advance.

We honestly can't remember which international title we originally chose, but looking back at them, "Prompt Intervention" made us giggle. We're back with a very important episode -- really the episode that kicks off the rest of the season (as well as the genuine Spike and Buffy relationship). It's "Intervention!"Warning: This podcast is NOT spoiler free.Twitter: https://twitter.com/diarieswatchersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/watchersdiaries/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewatchersdiariesTumblr: https://twd-podcast.tumblr.com/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewatchersdiariesWord of Warning: This episode, along with the two following, contain some audio issues. We have tried to fix them the best we can but we are just two people doing this on our own. So our apologies in advance if any of it is a bit hard to hear / understand.

It's another somber one this week as we (and the Scooby Gang) are still reeling from Joyce's death. At least we have the ever wonderful Joel Grey to help see us through it... sketchy tho his character may be.Warning: This podcast is NOT spoiler free.Twitter: https://twitter.com/diarieswatchersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/watchersdiaries/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewatchersdiariesTumblr: https://twd-podcast.tumblr.com/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewatchersdiariesTwo weeks from now will be our last book club episode of the season, during which we'll discuss Laurell K. Hamilton's Circus of the Damned. You can find a copy of the novel here.

No jokes this week. Just a study in death as we bid farewell to the matriarch of the Scooby Gang.

When they said 'love makes you do the wacky', they weren't kidding. As sometimes, love...or a sick and twisted version there of, causes you to build a robot. A poor, sweet robot who deserves none of your bullshit. Clearly we have opinions on this episode. So come join us, as we discuss them along with Mr. Frog! Huzzah! It's "I Was Made to Love You"!Warning: This podcast is NOT spoiler free.Twitter: https://twitter.com/diarieswatchersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/watchersdiaries/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewatchersdiariesTumblr: https://twd-podcast.tumblr.com/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewatchersdiaries

Having been teens in the 90s and early 2000s, we couldn't help but hear the refrain of Jennifer Paige's song every time we mentioned the actual name of this episode. If you know, you know. So join us as we talk about Spike's many crushes as well as celebrate the return of our favorite unhinged vampiress.Warning: This podcast is NOT spoiler free.Twitter: https://twitter.com/diarieswatchersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/watchersdiaries/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewatchersdiariesTumblr: https://twd-podcast.tumblr.com/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewatchersdiaries

It's Buffy's birthday! And since our Slayer is just not allowed nice things...something awful is bound to happen. Like a little sister in crisis. Or vampires bringing lame gifts. Find out all about it on this week's brand new episode!Warning: This podcast is NOT spoiler free. Also, please be aware that this episode contains a brief discussion of self harm.Twitter: https://twitter.com/diarieswatchersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/watchersdiaries/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewatchersdiariesTumblr: https://twd-podcast.tumblr.com/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewatchersdiaries

Since our next new episode also takes place on Buffy's birthday, we thought we'd just keep the "terrible horrible no good very bad birthday" train going.
