  The Body (Buffy episode) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Realising that something is wrong, Buffy calls 911, and eventually procedes to perform CPR on her mother, despite the fact that she notices that the body is cold.
This episode is a significant departure from the Glory storyline, being an intense character study.
Buffy's "As long as you two stay away from the band candy, I'm cool with anything" comment is a reference to season three's "Band Candy", in which Giles and Joyce had sex (twice, as Buffy markedly points out in another episode) while under the influence of candy which caused them to mentally regress to adolescence.

 Hush (Buffy episode) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The episode is notable, thus, for the actors succeeding in expressing the storyline without using words, and for its "background" music — Christophe Beck mentions, on DVD interviews, that he thoroughly enjoyed the task of writing the episode's soundtrack; one scene also uses Camille Saint-Saëns's "Danse Macabre" to somewhat melodramatic effect.
The episode is notable for containing the start of Buffy's relationship with Riley and each character's discovery that the other is not what they seem — again playing out the theme of the characters' inability to communicate with each other.
That the episode is all about communication is highlighted when Buffy and Riley sit down to talk about their feelings for each other and their respective secrets, once The Gentlemen have been vanquished, and they sit in uncomfortable silence until the credits start.

 Whoosh! Episode Guide: Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Welcome to the Hellmouth (01/101)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Buffy Summers, The Chosen One, arrives in Sunnydale, California trying to forget all the talk about her destiny and the vampires, only to discover that the quiet, small American town sits atop a Hellmouth and a master vampire is about to be brought forth.
Buffy says she wants to get along with everyone, and she needs to pass all her classes and has heard that Willow is the one to help her study.
Buffy: "You really haven't been dating lately." Buffy says her philosophy is to seize the day because life is short and you might be dead tomorrow.

 What is a Corpse?, by Amy H. Konig (h2so4)
Buffy's younger sister, Dawn, learns of the loss (or rather, learns that her mother is at the hospital and that something "bad" has happened) during an art class where she is sketching a human figure in charcoal.
The corpse is not a body—indeed, it is the opposite of a body.
Buffy's job as a slayer is to put the undead to rest, and when she drives a stake through a vampire's heart, it vanishes in a puff of sound and special FX.

After the episode aired, he realized that she would have been more effective to have her at the top of the scene, entering the room to clear the dishes so that she could metaphorically represent her character as a constant in each of their lives.
When Buffy watches the EMS workers leave, she mutters "good luck", a statement that Whedon comments upon as reflective of how, "your priorities become so strange" and that her being polite to the EMS workers was unimportant, yet she feels compelled to say the words anyway.
As Buffy awaits the arrival of the paramedics from the doorframe, a wide-arc camera shot from Buffy to her mother on the couch suggests visually, that for a moment, she has forgotten that the body was there in the first place.

Buffy and the gang discover the source is a factory downtown and that the tribute is a bunch of infants for a baby-eating sewer-dwelling demon called Larconis (the candy was cursed to distract the adults).

 The Body - BuffyGuide.com
Buffy's remark that she's cool with anything that Joyce and Giles do as long as the stay off the band candy refers to the effects of the candy in "Band Candy" when all of the adults behaved like wild teenagers, and Giles and Joyce had sex… twice.
The whole episode is coldly lit, and is the quietest episode of Buffy yet, with several periods of silence and very little dialogue, and no music of any kind.
Buffy stands at the very threshold of each of the doors in her house, but is unable to leave — she is cut off from the outside world by her grief.

 BBC - Cult - Buffy - Episode Guide - The Body
Christmas Credits: Joss created the Christmas party flashback scene at the episode's start purely as a means of keeping the episode credits away from the main action and therefore not distract viewers from the action during the subsequent 911 sequence.
Silent Witness: The body is unique for a Buffy episode in that it features no incidental music.
Spikeless: James Marsters is entirely absent from The Body, the first time this has occurred since he became a regular character midway through season four.

The impact of seeing her body was probably lessened by the episodes of Six Feet Under that I've watched, but I'm still uncomfortable with the idea of a dead body.
Buffy the Musical is going down as one of my favorite musical TV shows, along with "It's the Gary Shandling Show: the Musical,” the Disco Zoo Animals on Roller Skates episode of GET A LIFE, and "Streetcar: the Musical” from THE SIMPSONS.
Even if it was a tremendously sad episode (the farewell of Riley), at least I got to watch it now instead of having to wait for my friend to get it on videocassette from his mom (Of course, I always have Scott to fill me in with what I miss).

 "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Commenting on a single episode is nigh on impossible because there were a huge number of fantastic ones spanning all 7 seasons.
Interestingly there is no music in the episode which increases how utterly sad the situation is. When Buffy tells dawn what has happened all we hear is Dawn's anguished crying rather than Buffy actually telling her what has happened.
The way in which we only hear what Buffy actually says to Dawn after she has leaped into the vortex is a wonderful bit of writing.

 Buffy - Pastor Steve's favorite show!
Buffy learns what's wrong with her Mom in a well-done scene that shows how one's world and thought processes stop when one hears the word, "Tumor." There's also an exciting plot about some kind of giant Cobra thingy tracking Dawn, but it's the emotions and bond between the Summers women that make the episode.
Buffy and Riley have a moving scene together which not only gives the two ex-lovers closure, but also serves as a parallel to the biblical accounts of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well and Jesus and the woman who was about to be stoned.
In fact, Buffy not accepting any of the guilt the spirits tried to lay on her is one of the highlights of the episode, as is a great "Slayer moment" when we discover that Dawn's "weapon" is a cell phone with which to call Buffy.

The WB and 20th Century Fox, the studio that produces "Buffy," missed a mid-February deadline for reaching a compensation agreement that would have kept "Buffy" on the WB for another season.
Written and directed by series creator Joss Whedon, "The Body" was a soul-shaking portrait of death and grief, with Buffy having to face the unexpected passing of her mother, Joyce (Kristine Sutherland).
"Buffy" is an ode to misfits, a healing vision of the weird, the different and the marginalized finding their place in the world and, ultimately, saving it.

Fighting the living dead is, of course, Buffy's primary mission — and the source of her show's title.
On Buffy, however, death is not a fantasy and the dead cannot be ignored or dismissed.
Though Buffy has always been versatile, its ability to find new dramatic forms to express its fantasy metaphor is still remarkable — as is its ability to surprise.
