Buffy Discussion 'Book Club'
 

Good idea! I may be here actually... but this is only an hour before I do my own event.

Also, I haven't watched any Buffy ever beyond season 4 so I don't want to risk getting any spoilers.. even though this is only about the first 3 episodes, there's still that risk I think.

This sounds fun
 

I've never watched, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but it always kinda interested me. The only way I can see it is to get the DVDs on Netflix. I think I should be about to catch up by next Sunday. :)

I may well attempt to join you.... so long as I've got my time conversions right lol... might attempt to corrupt my puppy into old school whedon shows :D

If you look at the stickys in this section, it will give you a link to time zone conversions, as well as if Monkey put the event in the calendar, it should automatically convert it to your timezone for you.

I am sorry it wasn't a success.

I would recommend trying to pop into chat a few times during the week and linking your event, as well as bumping the thread the day or two before.

You could also make a post in the lounge with buffy trivia or something and mention it in there.

I'm sorry Mr. Monkey. I will try to be there next week.

It's really hard to get people to join these things because they don't look at the stickies, don't set reminders and simply forget.

I wish there was a way for subscribe to things like this and then get automatic reminders. Or something to let the upcoming events flash up on the top of every page. Without that you really need to keep reminding people about it. I agree with Miss Butterfly that the chat is a good place to do this.

I just saw this after the fact. I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch it again (since way back then), but decided to feel it out...

I used to watch Buffy growing up. I watched it for a little while around the end of middle school, beginning of high school. I didn't get too far into the seasons.

Anyway, I remember first reading about it in a magazine. Probably People magazine back then in the entertainment section or something. It talked about the newer show and had a picture of her. Instant crush, lol

For the time I did watch it, I appreciated her beauty, sense of style, kindness, how she was relatable, some the ways she wasn't, etc...

Um, I'll try to be around. 11 pm Mountain Time Zone is just next door to me. Illinois is Central, so just one hour after ~ noon. Sunday.

I just rewatched the first five episodes here and there this past week on hulu so I'll be caught up for the discussion if I'm able to make it hopefully.

Great ideas :)

Got there a little late today some time ago. No one was in the lounge chat. Anyway, I hope you're enjoying your marathon pet monkey :)

Oops! I had forgotten about this entirely this time. :(

No prob, I plan to see the group next Sunday then... Umm, this week was up to episode 7 ~ I guess next week discusses up to episode 9 then... I hope you feel better and recover soon :)

Okay, I plan on being there again. I'll set a couple phone alarms, lol

Thank you

Just doing a courtesy reminder ~ hour and two minutes before :)

Reminding about tomorrow's meeting @ 11:00 Mountain Time Zone. So, 13 hours and 23 minutes from now. Discussion up to Episode 11. See y'all there. Setting some phone reminders :)

Thanks, y'all too.

Hour from now :)

Thanks for the nice discussion as usual :) I'll try to remind next week again, etc.

That's nice, enjoy your time with family :)

I'll check in and see if anyone comes. Discussion is at 12 noon Central Time Zone like usual, which is also 11 a.m. Mountain Time Zone where pet monkey is from. Adjust accordingly :)

Discussion will be Season 2, episodes 2 and 3.

Reminder, 1 hour from now :)

Just a correction, its 11 am in MT time zone where Monkey is from. But yes, still one hour from now :)

Thanks, I mentioned that. I'm near Chicago, so I specified Central Time Zone first :)

Sorry, I misread! Thanks for clarifying!

I find that advertising it in chat a few times a week as well as bumping this the event thread a day or two before the event is helpful.

Like I said before, starting a thread in the lounge for trivia might be a nice way to advertise and find the fans as well.

Sure, I believe next Sunday we'll be up to Season 2, episodes 8 and 9.

Sorry for not showing up last week. I remembered an hour afterward. Need to plug in those alerts.

The week before that I was the only one there too. I waited fifteen minutes while catching up on the last episode then left.

Glad you had a good time with fam. Look forward to seeing y'all next week :)

That's great advice to pet monkey :)

I've pretty much been away for two months, so missed all this. Buffy is awesome, i've referenced that before on here :p

Hopefully i can make it on Sunday at the right time (might be having to pick up family from a train station though....). Just S2e8+9? Not 8, 9 and 10 given 9 + 10 is a two-parter, just saying :p

In the beginning the group discussed three episodes, but found that it was easier for most to keep up with watching two episodes a week in time for discussion.

In any case, thanks for bringing up it's a two parter. I guess in this special case we can watch and discuss Season 2, episode 8 + 9 + 10.

Welcome to the group :) If you can't make it next week pehaps another time.
