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.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

20 years and umpteen rewatches later, The Body still makes me sob for 43 minutes straight.
Luckily, Epiphany is a marvelous palate cleanser.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I watched it when it first aired and that'll be all for me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

What is even happening?
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.

Thank you, Cindy. It really was incredibly unexpected and sudden but peaceful. She was in bed and either had a heart attack or stroke.
Her three closest brothers all made it here within three hours, including the one who lives in Oregon but was in Ojai, CA for an annual retreat.
For a horribly life-altering thing for me, it was as good as possible. I'm just angry she couldn't wait some more years. But for her, peaceful and the people she'd have wanted here were all able to be here. I'll take that over more time with any pain or suffering.
But I can't watch The Body. I did listen to a commentary with Kristine Sutherland that was interesting.
