Giles ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
Packing update - I think I'm about 80% done. Still need to run some stuff through the wash. Gah - I don't think I've taken an 11 day break since my honeymoon which was almost 19 years ago. I feel like I need to pack EVERYTHING!

Oh hell. I deleted, but Perkins still caught me.
That's because I'm quick like a bunny.

Which is one of the reasons why Clovis thinks you're a good minion.
YAY!

Well now. Bunnies have been disastrous for Australia. I wish to learn more about how devil bunnies will affect the Australian environment.
I still don't feel strong enough to rewatch, and this is me being within an hour's drive of visiting both my still-living parents. I can't even imagine how hard the episode hits someone who's lost one or both.
My mom died when I was in high school, and my dad died a few years ago, and I have to say that Buffy's experience in The Body didn't resonate with me, beyond what Beverly said about the stress reaction of one sense coming to the forefront. I think this is because in both cases my folks had been ill and it was very expected.
What did resonate was the responses of the friends. I never know what to do at funerals or for the bereaved, and I've seen that that is the case for most people, no matter what age. What Hec said about the cultural lack of a death protocol resonates also; my father died at home, and even though it was expected, no one knew quite what to do when it happened.
