"I wish that Joyce didn't die" Anya, having dedicated a thousand years to the power of the Wish.

"the body" is simultaneously one of the best and the saddest episodes of tv that exists. It hits even harder now that I've lost a parent.

The lack of music in The Body was completely intentional. Joss explained that even when it's sad, music is a "comfort" to the audience because it indicates how they should feel about a situation. By omitting it, the audience is left with their own unique feelings to contend with.

Please don't worry about not "being funny" during The Body episode. That is always one of the hardest ones for me to watch. I cry every time. So I don't mind you all crying and being somber. The entire cast did such a good job. I so understood Anya not understanding. Her character would have no mental framing for this. One of the best and most heartbreaking episodes.

People say that the vampire at the end was unnecessary in a completely grounded episode I 100% disagree. The vampire shows that this is a cruel world that goes on, it doesn't stop because of a sudden tragedy

Not many people pick up on it, but Anya made a wish in The Body that Joyce didn’t die. She knows the power of that word and said it very intentionally. Not even her “friends” understood her intention.

“The Body” episode is a rite of passage for all Buffy watchers. You’re never the same after that episode. Your reaction was perfect. It was a heart wrenching episode.

That moment of her looking out the door and hearing kids is just that moment of stillness & heartbreak. The world going on but your world ended!

"i wish the Joyce didnt die" hits undeniably hard when you realize that wishes were anya's power

Don't worry about not saying much during the body this episode premiered more than 20 years ago and still gets me every time

This was the first lesbian kiss on TV that was just a normal kiss between two main characters in a committed relationship, and wasn't hyped up as a Big Event. Putting it in this episode prevented it from being promoted as titillating or controversial.

I like how you appreciated all the little details, like how Dawn was drawing the negative space around a body, and that Anya briefly found the blue sweater Willow was looking for.

It was so heartbreaking when Buffy said "Not to move the body" because that was when she finally realized what she was experiencing was real

Obligatory but always necessary reminder that Sarah was robbed at the Emmys the year of The Body's release. Not even nominated and she is acting her heart out in this! Everyone is of course but Sarah really brings it at everything(Aside from her own dislike for Laughing acting as mentioned in commentaries from writers)

I’m always amazed that this episode wasn’t nominated for an Emmy.

We love you guys, and that's why we don't expect you to fake your feelings, so don't worry. Your reaction is exactly what most people have during this episode. It's stunned grief. Your genuine reaction is what we love. Period. You don't need to put on a show. We love that you are you.

@rocketress 1 year ago

You made it through the hardest episode of this series. I haven't met anyone who made it through this episode without crying.
As someone who lost both my parents to situations like this, it's the most accurate portrayal of every feeling involved. They put an incredible amount of care into every line, every camera movement, every second of silence, *everything*. The whole cast just....DELIVERS.

@deutschfan808 1 year ago

I was waiting for this. Joyce’s death is one of the reasons why Season 5 goes so hard. Don’t worry guys, your reaction was very appropriate. I could be wrong, but the unique thing about “The Body” is I think it’s the first time the Scooby Gang was so affected by a natural death, one that wasn’t caused by supernatural forces.

We've all been holding our breath for this week...

No matter how many times I watch The Body episode, I will never be desensitized to it. I always find myself bawling throughout the episode

Yeah, aneurisms are quick. It's what got my dad. He was literally being helped into his hospital bed by a nurse when it happened. Just went "Oh!" and slumped over. Even with the nurse right there and medical help coming immediately, they couldn't do anything.
