Buffy the Vampire Slayer: 5.16 The Body

tw Death of a major character, grief, dealing with the death of a parent

Buffy, Dawn, and their friends deal with the aftermath of Joyce's death.

The purposeful removal of music for the whole episode, the grief portrayed, the portrayals of people with varying amounts of interaction with death. It hits so hard.

This episode killed me. I have never watched anything that has fully emcompassed the feeling of loss and what it's like to experience death close to you than The Body. It is an absolute gut punch in the best way. I actually had to take a week off of watching Buffy to recover because I was so destroyed. 12/10 I don't think I will ever be able to watch this episode of TV ever again

One of the greatest depictions of grief and bereavement of all time. Both formally inventive and unique in its cinematography, sound design, editing etc. while also being an incredible personally affecting emotional experience.

There’s another buffy episode that probably deserves the title more, but I did have to give this one some recognition. For a whacky silly show about vampires, this episode is maybe the realest portrayal of death and grief I’ve ever seen. It’s not just a sad episode that makes audiences cry - I mean it is that - but it’s also this incredible examination of what it’s like to lose someone, and how the world shifts on its axis when that happens. The lack of any non diegetic music is an amazing touch to give this episode a sense of distance from all others. It’s real in a way that’s hard to watch but also unforgettable. Certain scenes and lines will always stay with me and will forever shape my feelings on life and loss.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: 2.07 Zuko Alone

Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Written By: Bernie Taupin & Elton John

Artist: Elton John & Kiki Dee

Released: 1976

In the book 1000 UK #1 Hits, Kiki Dee talked about the idea behind this song: “Both Elton and I were big fans of those duets on Motown by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell and there hadn’t been any around for a bit—we thought we’d do one ourselves.” This song became John’s first #1 single in the UK and his sixth #1 in the US.

[Verse 1: Elton John & Kiki Dee] Don't go breaking my heart I couldn't if I tried Oh honey if I get restless Baby you're not that kind Don't go breaking my heart You take the weight off of me Oh honey when you knock on my door Ooh, I gave you my key [Pre-Chorus: Elton John, Kiki Dee & both] Ooh, nobody knows it When I was down I was your clown Ooh, nobody knows it (Nobody knows it) Right from the start I gave you my heart Oh, I gave you my heart [Chorus: Elton John, Kiki Dee & both] So don't go breaking my heart I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart [Verse 2: Elton John & Kiki Dee] And nobody told us Because nobody showed us And now it's up to us babe Oh, I think we can make it So don't misunderstand me You put the light in my life Oh, you put the spark to the flame I've got your heart in my sights [Pre-Chorus: Elton John, Kiki Dee & both] Ooh, nobody knows it When I was down I was your clown Ooh, nobody knows it (Nobody knows it) Right from the start I gave you my heart Oh, I gave you my heart [Chorus: Elton John, Kiki Dee & both] Don't go breaking my heart I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart [Pre-Chorus: Elton John, Kiki Dee & both] Ooh, nobody knows it When I was down I was your clown Right from the start I gave you my heart Oh, I gave you my heart [Chorus: Elton John, Kiki Dee & both] Don't go breaking my heart I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my Don't go breaking my Don't go breaking my heart Don't go breaking my Don't go breaking my I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart Don't go breaking my I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart Don't go breaking my I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart Don't go breaking my I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart Don't go breaking my I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart Don't go breaking my I won't go breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart

Demolition Lovers

Written By: Matt Pelissier, Mikey Way, Ray Toro & Gerard Way

Artist: My Chemical Romance

Released: 2002

The Demolition Lovers are the couple seen on the cover for MCR’s next album, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. This song, along with much of the album, is a prequel to the story of Three Cheers… in which a man makes a deal with the devil to get his dead lover back by killing 1,000 evil men and giving the devil their souls in exchange for her. This song is most likely where the lover dies. The two “Demolition Lovers” are featured on the cover of the album.

[Verse 1] Hand in mine, into your icy blues And then I'd say to you, "We could take to the highway With this trunk of ammunition, too" I'd end my days with you, in a hail of bullets [Chorus] I'm trying, I'm trying To let you know just how much you mean to me And after all the things We put each other through and [Verse 2] I would drive on to the end with you A liquor store or two keeps the gas tank full And I feel like there's nothing left to do But prove myself to you, and we'll keep it running [Chorus] But this time, I mean it I'll let you know just how much you mean to me As snow falls on desert sky Until the end of everything I'm trying, I'm trying To let you know how much you mean As days fade and nights grow And we grow cold [Post-Chorus] Until the end, until this pool of blood Until this, I mean this, I mean this, until the end of [Chorus] I'm trying, I'm trying To let you know how much you mean As days fade and nights grow And we grow cold But this time, we'll show them We'll show them all how much we mean As snow falls on desert sky Until the end of every… [Interlude] All we are, all we are is bullets, I mean this All we are, all we are is bullets, I mean this All we are, all we are is bullets, I mean this All we are, all we are is bullets, I mean this [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] As lead rains will pass on through Our phantoms forever, forever Like scarecrows that fuel this flame We're burning forever and ever Know how much I want to show you You're the only one Like a bed of roses There's a dozen reasons in this gun [Outro] And as we're falling down, and in this pool of blood And as we're touching hands, and as we're falling down And in this pool of blood, and as we're falling down I'll see your eyes, and in this pool of blood I'll meet your eyes, I mean this forever!

Runde 2: Chapman

Die Zwillinge brachten Klassenkameraden aus der Schule mit und schauen einen Märchenfilm.

Rick Harmon: "Am besten hat mir in dem Märchenfilm die Wahrsagerin gefallen. Als ihre Kugel anfing zu leuchten, die Effekte sind wirklich klasse!" Vera: " Ja, die Effekte waren wirklich toll. Was meint ihr?" Jody: "Ich weiß nicht. Ich fand die sah aus wie eine Hexe. Richtig gruselig." Jeanette Carlson: "Die fandst du gruselig? Dann musst du mal einen richtigen Gruselfilm für Erwachsene anschauen, hihihi."

Am Abend:

Kathryn: "Komm schon Vera, ich hab dich den ganzen Tag mit deinen Freunden fernsehen lassen. Irgendwann musst du die Hausaufgaben machen. Ich helfe dir auch. Deine Schwester ist schon fertig."

Neal: "So meine kleine Maus, hier ist dein Fläschchen. Wenn du ausgetrunken hast, geht's ins Bettchen, Norma."

Kathryn: "Meine Herren? Ich weiß nicht, was Sie im Kinderzimmer meiner Töchter zu suchen haben. Es wird spät, die Mädchen wollen schlafen. Bitte gehen Sie."

Good Omens: 1.03 Hard Times

It's full of musings on peace and fate and love and human nature. Also Spock wears a beanie.

I Won't Say (I'm in Love)

Written By: Alan Menken & David Zippel

Artist: Susan Egan with Roz Ryan, Cheryl Freeman, Lillias White, Vanéese Y. Thomas & LaChanze for Hercules

Released: 1997

From the 1997 Disney movie Hercules, “I Won’t Say (I’m In Love)” is the movie’s featured love ballad. After a romantic date with Hercules, Meg expresses her conflicting emotions through song (with some back up from the Muses). Hurt before and technically working for Herc’s arch nemesis, this song demonstrates Meg’s reluctance to get into another relationship that (in her mind) can only end badly.

[MEG] If there's a prize for rotten judgment I guess I've already won that No man is worth the aggravation That's ancient history, been there, done that [MUSES, MEG] Who d'you think you're kiddin'? He's the earth and heaven to you Try to keep it hidden Honey, we can see right through you (Oh no) Girl, you can't conceal it We know how you feel and who you're thinkin' of [MEG] Oh No chance, no way I won't say it, no, no [MUSES] You swoon, you sigh Why deny it? Uh-oh [MEG] It's too cliché I won't say I'm in love [MUSES] Shoo-do, shoo-do, ooh [MEG, with MUSES] I thought my heart had learned its lesson It feels so good when you start out My head is screaming, "Get a grip, girl" "Unless you're dyin' to cry your heart out" Oh [MUSES, MEG] You keep on denying Who you are and how you're feeling Baby, we're not buying Hon, we saw you hit the ceiling (Oh no) Face it like a grown-up When ya gonna own up That you got, got, got it bad? [MEG] Whoa No chance, no way I won't say it, no, no [MUSES] Give up, give in Check the grin, you're in love [MEG] This scene won't play I won't say I'm in love [MUSES] You're doin' flips Read our lips, you're in love [MEG, MUSES] You're way off base (Shoo-do, shoo-do) I won't say it (She won't say it, no) Get off my case (Sha-da, sha-da) I won't say it [MUSES] Girl, don't be proud It's okay, you're in love [MEG] Oh At least, out loud I won't say I'm in love [MUSES] Shoo-do, shoo-do, shoo-do, shoo-do Sha-la-la-la-la-la, ah

God Only Knows

Written By: Brian Wilson & Tony Asher

Artist: The Beach Boys

Released: 1966

“God Only Knows” is a song by American rock band The Beach Boys. It is the eighth track on the group’s 11th studio album, Pet Sounds, and one of their most widely recognized songs. “God Only Knows” was composed and produced by Brian Wilson. Tony Asher helped Brian with the lyrics. Carl Wilson sang lead, and Bruce Johnston sang harmony vocals with Brian in the outro. The song broke new ground in many ways. It was one of the first commercial songs to use the word ‘God’ in its title. As producer, Brian Wilson used many unorthodox instruments, including the harpsichord and French horns that are heard in the song’s famous introduction. Although The Beatles engaged in a friendly rivalry with the Beach Boys based on mutual respect, Paul McCartney called this song the best song ever written.

[Verse 1: Carl Wilson] I may not always love you But long as there are stars above you You never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it [Refrain: Carl Wilson] God only knows what I'd be without you [Verse 2: Carl Wilson] If you should ever leave me Well, life would still go on, believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me? [Refrain: Carl Wilson] God only knows what I'd be without you [Interlude: Carl Wilson, Brian Wilson, and Bruce Johnston] Ooh, ooh Do, do, do, do, do, do, do Bow, buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow (Do, do, do, do) Buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow (Do, do, do, do, do, do) Buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow (Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do) [Refrain: Carl Wilson] God only knows what I'd be without you [Verse 3: Carl Wilson] If you should ever leave me Well, life would still go on, believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me? [Chorus: Carl Wilson] God only knows what I'd be without you [Outro: Carl Wilson with Brian Wilson and Bruce Johnston] God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you (What I'd be) God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows) God only knows what I'd be without you (What I'd be) God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows) God only knows what I'd be without you (What I'd be) God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows) God only knows what I'd be without you (What I'd be) God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows) God only knows what I'd be without you (What I'd be) God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows)

Runde 2: Robertson

Logan: "Ich warne dich, Helen! Iris hat das Recht selbst zu entscheiden, ob sie den Fluch brechen will. Ich habe dir nicht von der Heilung erzählt, damit du sie dazu zwingst. Es gibt Vorteile ein Wolf zu sein und du wirst sie ihr nicht vorenthalten! Sie ist kein Monster, genauso wenig wie ich. Auch wenn du das inzwischen anders siehst."

Helen: "Aber verstehst du denn nicht, dass ich für mein Kind nur das Beste will?" Logan: "Ich will nichts mehr davon hören, Helen. Ich bin fertig mit dir. Ich komme nur noch wegen Iris hier her. Um sicher zu gehen, dass sie nicht unter deinem Einfluss steht. Sie ist alt genug, um selbst zu entscheiden, was sie will und was gut für sie ist. Im Übrigen ist sie auch mein Kind und ich will genauso das beste für sie."

Am Abend:

Iris: "Nicht schon wieder! Passiert das jetzt jeden Abend? Wieso muss die Verwandlung nur immer so schmerzhaft sein?!"

"Puh, geschafft."

"Aber es ist schon cool, nicht schlafen zu müssen und die ganze Nacht Filme anschauen zu können. Mal überlegen, womit ich die Nächte noch verbringen kann."

Am nächsten Morgen:

Thorben: "Ich hab dich in der Nacht gesehen! Mit dir stimmt was nicht. Hattest Fell, hast dein Rudel herbeigerufen und mit ihnen um die Wette geheult. Wahrscheinlich bist du gefährlich, ich will nicht mit einem Monster wie dir zusammen in einer Stadt leben" Iris: "Das ist ja lächerlich! Vielleicht hast du die Wölfe im Film heulen hören, den ich heute Nacht geschaut habe, als ich nicht schlafen konnte. Was fällt dir eigentlich ein, einfach so in unser Haus zu kommen und mir solche Verrücktheiten zu unterstellen!" Thorben: "Ich weiß, was ich gesehen habe!"

Iris: "Mom?" Helen: "Hey Theodor, ich bin gerade aufgestanden und hab mich gefragt, ob du nicht über kommen willst, um ein bisschen Spaß zu haben."

Helen: "Da bist du ja endlich, Süßer. "
