I had almost completely forgotten about Kate.
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
But it did give us "Be a rainbow, not a PAINbow," so that's something.
That line is the only non-cringeworthy moment in the entire ep.
I don't know, I loved ""My parents were great. They tasted a lot like chicken!"
20 years and umpteen rewatches later, The Body still makes me sob for 43 minutes straight.
Luckily, Epiphany is a marvelous palate cleanser.
I might not ever be able to watch The Body again.
I hope too but it was brutal at the time. After my Mom didn't show up to walk dogs and I drove to her place to find her, it's more than I am prepared to do and that was 14 months ago.
I've even just moved into her house but I cannot imagine watching that ep. It was so well done.
I know I actually will one day but not today.
I think I've only watched it all the way through the one time.
I watched it when it first aired and that'll be all for me.
I think I watched it a second time when I was doing a full series rewatch. I was braced for it, at least, so it didn't hit me quite as hard. Not time for a third watch yet, although I suppose it might happen at some point.
I'm pretty sure I've rewatched a few times here and there, but before I lost my mom. Won't be watching again anytime soon.
Cass, I didn't know about your mother's death. I'm so sorry.
"The Body" aired just about two years before my father died. He might have even been in the hospital (for one of his illnesses, but not the fast cancer that took him) when it debuted. I've only rewatched it when we've rewatched the entire series, most recently with my youngest son.
It's usually had a big DO NOT ENTER sign on it, it in my mind. Besides, if we're in the mood to watch a random episode of Buffy, we want something fun, or emotionally satisfying, with that zippy dialogue, not just something real-world-sad.
Soon after my Dad's death, I revisited "Forever" a few times, though. I found it somewhat cathartic.
