Hey guys,

So we've decided to do a rewatch of Buffy from start to finnish. It's been a while since we've done BBTV, so for those that don't know, BBTV is were a group of us watch a show together, we've done it previously for Dollhouse and other rewatches of BtVS/Angel/Firelfy.

It used to be hosted in the Chatroom, but this time we're gonna be doing it on Twitter, so we'll be live tweeting our way through threw the episodes. Anyone can join in the discussion on Twitter/Facebook and the discussion thread we'll have on the boards.

Mischlings and a coupe of you started a rewatch there a while back, so we think the best thing to do would be to try and catch up with theirs. So we'll be starting next week, from Season 1 Episode 1 and we're gonna watch 4 episodes a week till we catch up with the other rewatch (they've just started season 2 over the weekend), then we'll continue on at the pace of 2 episodes per week.

I haven't watched the show in almost 3 years, so I'm quite looking forward to doing a full rewatch and going through some old discussions.

One issue we had before was with timezones, we'll try and do rewatchs at different times to suit the most amount of people watching, but with Twitter it's a little easier then it was before with the chatroom, if your not around at a time we're watching it, catch up yourself later, we're gonna be using the HashTag [HASHTAG]#BBTV[/HASHTAG] on posts, so you can still keep up with the discussion.

I've included a poll just to get your idea of what days suit you best, you can vote multiple times, just to give us a broad idea of when suits people. We can't guarantee we'll go with the most popular day, as it has to suit. Even if your not taking part just yet, vote and give us an idea, you may want to join in later for a particular arc or episode.

If you're wanting to take part in [HASHTAG]#BBTV[/HASHTAG] make sure your following @BuffyBoards on Twitter, Post your Twitter username below just so we know who you are, It might be different mods running it a certain week, so I might be tweeting from @SidewinderVX.
 
I don't know if I'll be able to be there for every ep but I'll join in when I can. Twitter is so better suited than the chatroom ever was. Should be fun. 🙂

Whoop! Yeah I think Twitter will be more accessible!
I would go back again to S1 but why though twitter I dont know how I feel about cluttering my twitter why not go back to the chat?

I dont have any board member on twitter
 
Like I said, I might pop in to discuss some of it, though I'm probably not going to go back and rewatch the episodes, except maybe some of them in Season 2 (not going back to Season 1 anytime soon -- maybe for Angel, but still not likely).

So, when this catches up to the rewatch that's already going, are we going to merge or otherwise combine the threads so all the discussion is in one place? I'd think that'd be the best way to go, but I'm just checking to see.

I get what you mean, but once we get caught up, we'll only be doing it twice a week for 40 mins, and we wont be non-stop tweeting, if you've seen how we've been doing our comic recaps, it will be the same as that, just a few extra tweets while watching. Plus anything thats in discussion will be @ someone which wont clog up the feed.

The reason we wanted to move away from the Chat was because people had a number of problems with the chat, from getting log in, to setting up correctly. Plus there had to be a set time, if you missed the chat you miss out completely, twitter will allow us to be more flexible with the chat since people can still join in if they can't make the line chat with the hashtag.

Great! Yeah what I'll do is, when I make the thread next week, we'll just use that till we get caught up, then we'll switch over to your thread and I'll change your title from Unofficial to Official, I'd say we'd probably need to make a new thread from season 3 on anyway (with the thread count limits)
No need to merge them since our season 1 posts would get added in the middle of your season 2 discussions 🙂

What is the limit? I'll try and create a new one around the time that it reaches the limit, I'd just need to know what it is.

And yeah, merging them would be a little confusing. I didn't have the best word choice there, I guess.
 
I just started a re-watch of my own so I could introduce my boyfriend to it. He has never seen it... Unacceptable!!! I'd love to partake in the discussion but I don't use my Twitter, nor do I really get how to use the features.
 
We'd normally ask for a new thread at about 200 Posts, I think you guys are coming up on 140 at the moment, so you might even get there before/around the time we join and we can all go on from a new thread.
If we're close to ending ours but haven't by the time you guys reach 200, it'll probably be easier to go over it and we'll start a new one for when we merge?

Cool, The twitter side of it is more for the fun social element of it, we'll still have the main thread on here for main discussion which you are more then welcome to join in on. Twitter is restricted to 140 characters so not the best for proper discussions anyway 😉

(There's Facebook also at www.facebook.com/Buffyboards, forgot to mention that earlier!)

Oh gotcha, awesome! Added to FB.
 
My username on twitter is @kurtywurty85 I started a re-watch a while ago and I stopped at New Moon Rising so if someone can tag me on there when you guys to get that one, that would be awesome but if you forget I'll understand 😉 haha I'll also try to keep a close watch on this thread and the discussion one.

I will try and remember!
Okay we're gonna start on Monday (25th February) at 8:00pm GMT (3pm EST, 6pm PST - I think? - if you need you can check timezones here: Link)
We'll be watching Welcome to the Hellmout and The Harvest, and I'll make a thread in the rewatch section for discussing!
 
I was hoping I would be able to participate in the discussions, but I will be at work then. 🙁

Sorry, hopefully you'll still watch and keep up, the time will change, the first few on Mondays will probably be the same time just while we're doing 2 episodes a night to try and keep it as equal as possible among the time zones.

I was thinking we'll do episode 2 and 4 on Saturday and they'll be at a later time, but I'll confirm the times tomorrow.


Just to confirm we're doing 1 and 2 tomorrow at 8pm GMT, 3pm EST which is 12pm PST (I had that wrong in the last post!)
 
So we'll be doing episode 3 and 4 on Saturday, we'll go a bit later this time see how it goes so how about 10:00 GMT so 5pm EST and 2pm PST?
 
This is a great idea! Too bad I'm already on Season 6 of my Buffy rewatch, and would feel silly to start over again. 🙁

I'll definitely check in from time to time though when I can. 🙂
 
Just a reminder we'll be [HASHTAG]#BBTVing[/HASHTAG] from 10:10GMT (5:10pm EST and 2:10pm PST) tonight

The extra 10 mins later is so I can watch Jack Whitehall on Johnathon Ross! (English comedian) 😉
