I think it was mentioned in here & I've seen it being discussed a bunch on line vs. the last Succession episode, but is the Buffy the Vampire Slayer's 'The Body' episode THAT good? The plaudits that episode was given are incredible, otherworldy almost. Would it be a good watch by itself, does one need any Buffy knowledge going into it?

Dont do it man. its heartbreaking.
I think you need to have watched it before that point to appreciate it fully.
There was an interview with Brian Cox where he said this
Describing Logan's final scene in the show, the actor added: "He ends on a high, you know, he really does."
He went to the filming for the funeral just to throw the paparazzi off the scent too. Legend.
I think it’s fair to assume that it’s going to be revealed it was a mile high and that’s why the joker was acting so weird.There was an interview with Brian Cox where he said this

You sure? I remember a story of him showing up at a big red carpet event in England on the day they were filming that scene.
There was also this attempt to hoodwink and befuddle!
Yeah, he was the one everything and everyone revolved around. Take one the kids out, nothing happens. Take him out, everything is going to happen.
I found 'Halt and Catch Fire' to be like that. The first season was very underwhelming, and then it just went up several levels.
The writers had balls to take out such a prominent character so early in the series.
Its the last season, not that early.
I’m sure Logan will have found a way to feck with them, even in death.
I found that quite tedious considering what actually happened. I found it more tense when he pissed on a carpet.
It was like a parody in spots.

We will stick a pin in the gutter chicken for now, but I've not loved season 4 so far. Episode 1 was OK, didn't really like the time leap but overall it was a calm reintroduction.
Episode 2 was more entertaining but was a bit cartoonish, especially around Greg and Tom, which was old hat with no development, from Shakespearean drama to farce but still good.
I'll watch 3 again because it seems nobody agrees with me but I thought the whole thing much more ridiculous and lacking reality than harrowing.

Baffled by this. I thought it was an incredibly realistic depiction of someone dying and what everyone goes through during it. There was no dramatic scene of Logan clutching his chest and collapsing. You find out at the same time as the kids and you're along for the ride as they go in circles panicking trying to get information. That is exactly how people die. A call out of the blue and you never see them again.
Felt as though they wanted to depict realism & I felt they absolutely nailed it.
Yeah, that's all true and a good theatrical device in theory but that's not how it played out to me. The not saying 'dead' made it too contrived. It's a very tricky thing to say but it's even trickier to dance around it like they did. And boy did they dance.
There is a lot less theatre in the reality of death. More emotion, less theatre.
I mean there's a scene very early on when Shiv comes back in after hearing and Roman passes her the phone and says "They think he died".
I mean it's a show. There will always be that. It felt like watching a really good play with lots of moving parts, for me anyway.
Yeah, and the reality is the dancing would end there I think. Once the word was uttered.
If someone led me along with no straight answer about someone's death I'd be quite adamant to know if they were dead.
Yeah, it's either reality or theatre they are aiming for and I felt they missed both.
I mean they did ask lots of times. Also you could tell they were in denial. And it's not just a normal death, it meant a lot for the company and stuff hence all the commotion, etc...
I thought it was brilliant anyway. Watched it twice now and loved it.
Their lives are supposed to look a parody to us mere mortals.... they are portraying the ultra super rich who are utterly ridiculously out of touch with normal people.
Absolutely, I loved almost every minute up to now. They looked like a parody of themselves was the issue for me.
Didn't get that at all. Feel like I'm in opposite world.
Thought they reverted back to childish versions of themselves. The facade briefly went and they wanted their Dad.
I remember when I was young and naive, and thought moses could do no wrong. How I long for those fair days.
