The DVD commentary made it even better. Whedon knows his craft and he knows it well. Who would have guessed that such awesome humanity could be produced by a show called, "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer."I felt numb the entire time watching the episode and then on the repeat viewing. For any who have lost a loved one, there aren't many cathartic moments found in TV or on film and this was one of them. Captured it perfectly. And for any fan of the show, the abrupt loss of Joyce Summers was a painful one. And you actually felt it. That's hard to do. A sucker-punch, right through the cathode ray tube of your TV.*bam*Then nothing.</blockquote>
