  • The Body es el decimosexto episodio de la quinta temporada de Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Es quizás una de los episodios más tristes de la serie, ya que trata sobre la muerte de Joyce Summers la madre de Buffy Summers y Dawn Summers. De hecho no se ve sino un vampiro en todo el episodio. Se emitió tres veces, y solo en la primera emisión obtuvo la nota más alta en Nielsen, 3'5 de cuota de pantalla. (es)
  • Orphelines (The Body en version originale) est le 16e épisode de la saison 5 de la série télévisée Buffy contre les vampires. C'est un épisode écrit et réalisé par le créateur de la série, Joss Whedon, et qui a une importance particulière dans la série, à la fois au niveau narratif, puisque le personnage récurrent de Joyce Summers, la mère de Buffy, y meurt d'une rupture d'anévrisme, et au niveau de sa structure stylistique, de longues scènes en temps réel, une absence totale de musique d'ambiance et des effets de caméra, qui a pour but de confronter le téléspectateur à la réalité oppressante de la mort d'un être proche. L'épisode raconte « avec une minutie funèbre » les quelques heures qui suivent la découverte par Buffy du corps mort de sa mère. Cette peinture très réaliste des premières heures de deuil et du sentiment de confusion qui y est associé font de cet épisode l'un des plus marquants de la série, certains critiques n'hésitant pas à le considérer comme l'un des tout meilleurs épisodes de séries télévisées jamais réalisés.

  • "The Body" is the sixteenth episode of the fifth season of the supernatural drama television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

In the series, Buffy Summers is a teenager chosen by mystical forces and endowed with superhuman powers to defeat vampires, demons, and other evils in the fictional town of Sunnydale. She is supported in her struggles by a close circle of friends and family, nicknamed the "Scooby Gang". In "The Body", Buffy is powerless as she comes upon her lifeless mother, who has died of a brain aneurysm. Although Buffy and her friends deal with death every week, often in very gruesome and fantastic ways, in this episode they are bewildered by the natural death of Joyce Summers, the divorced mother of Buffy and her sister Dawn and occasionally a mother figure to their friends. They struggle to comprehend what the loss means to each of them and to the group. Buffy must begin to face her life and her duties as the Slayer without parental support and comfort. The episode was stripped of all music and disorienting effects were included to convey the sense of displacement and loss associated with the death of a close family member. "The Body" aired to wide acclaim, and has since been ranked by several critics as one of the greatest television episodes ever broadcast. (en)

  • But I don't understand! I don't understand how this all happens. How we go through this. I knew her, and then she's—there's just a body, and I don't understand why she just can't get back in it and not be dead ... anymore! It's stupid! It's mortal and stupid! And ... and Xander's crying and not talking, and ... and I was having fruit punch, and I thought, well, Joyce will never have any more fruit punch, ever, and she'll never have eggs, or yawn, or brush her hair, not ever, and no one will explain to me why!

  • My experience with death is that apart from a lot of people hugging at funerals, it seldom brings people together. It actually tears them apart. And I had always learned from TV that death made everybody stronger and better and learn about themselves. And my experience was that an important piece had been taken out of the puzzle ... and there is no glorious payoff. (en)
  • Any sneerer of Buffy in particular or genre work should simply be sat down in front of a television and told to shut up for three-quarters of an hour while they are shown "The Body"; their awestruck silence afterwards may be taken as recantation or apology. (en)
