5.16 – "The Body"

Welcome to Draconian Katra, also known as If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me! This week we try to keep ourselves together as we discuss the masterful sixteenth episode of Season 5: "The Body."

In this episode, we meander through:

• Plot and Firsts (2:00)

• Initial Thoughts and our first time watching this (12:00)

• Our first attempt through "The Body" — takeaways and negative space(22:00)

• A more structured breakdown of our friends in this episode (33:00)

• TV deaths that are memorable but not as much as this (41:30)

We closed with the usual yelling (54:00), a short watch (1:03:00) and the ranking of "The Body" in the Buffy canon (1:04:00).
