Buffy Mid-Season 5 Post

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "The Body."


I don't think I have ever cried so much for a show/movie/book. That includes "Doomsday," (yes, I cried) "The Wrath of Khan," (yup. cried.) the death of Sirius in book five (cried. Alot.), and what happened with Snape in book seven (I bawled like a baby.)

I have never seen the subject of grief dealt with this way in a show or movie. The episode was beautifully done, and rang absolutely true. The scene where Willow kept freaking out about what to wear, and how Anya broke down because she just couldn't understand it... I just have no words. This goes beyond "heartwrenching."
