Talk:Joyce Summers

message: Now, i don't know how reliable the whole speech on Buffy going to a mental Asylum was. It doesn't match Joyces' reaction in Becoming Part 1 or Bad Eggs and i won't accept "she forgot" as an answer.
*Well, to answer that: Buffy's parents both thought that she was crazy and they thought Buffy was over-whelmed with stress and started babbling about being a slayer, her parents wanted her to quit and once she did they wrote it off as an over worked delusion and gave her some down time in a nice soft room. Once Joyce found out that Buffy wasn't lying about the delusions she was mad that Buffy was never told her or showed her proof. But yes, it does seem to convenient that Joyce would forget about Buffy's so-called "delusions" once Buffy told her the truth, but hey that's what happens when a story is written about something that happened that was never expected. I mean the first time Joyce put her in an asylum, what does Buffy expect from telling Joyce. Buffy was worried Joyce would do the same thing again and react like she did. I hoped that answered it (Non-ya 20:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought the whole asylum thing was a hallucination, (and hinted to be real at the end), but was she ever REALLY in the institution.  Wasn't it all part of the same vision?  Nerrolken (talk) 02:03, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

message: In Buffy's quasi-dream in "The Weight of the World", we see Joyce's grave-stone with the dates 1958–2001.  This isn't reality but I think we can take Buffy, even in her catatonia, as a reliable source on this.  Is Joyce's year of birth worth mentioning here? —Tamfang (talk) 08:04, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

message: In the Season 3 episode The Wish, where it shows Sunnydale if Buffy never came, The Master tries feeding on this one girl and then offers her to Xander and Willow. I think the woman is Joyce, can anyone confirm or deny?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.34.181.210 (talk) 17:30, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I propose that Joyce Summers be merged into List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters. I think that the content in the Joyce Summers article can easily be explained in the context of List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters, and the subject of the article, although there are third party sources available (like at ), may not be notable enough for her own article as there is not enough information from reliable sources.

message: Just a reminder. If facts about how many episodes Joyce was in in the 4th season or her appearances following "The Body" need to be corrected, please don't put text in front of the existing citations. It misleads readers. If you correct something, like adding the details of an episode, please do it after the existing citations. I can find the right cites for episodes and include them later. It's much more difficult to try to parse which part of the sentence belongs to which citation after the edits are made. Thanks. --Moni3 (talk) 21:13, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm watching that episode, and I don't think Joyce is the First in Buffy's dreams--she's just herself. The First is with Spike at the same time, as Drusilla.--TEHodson 20:39, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok I'll recheck the sources. Btw, I heard Kristine Sutherland in an anti-depressant commercial just a two hours ago. Kind of puts a new spin on Joyce. I asked the commercial if it had to take anti-depressants because its daughter was a Slayer and kept getting suspended from school, but it didn't answer me. I put 2 and 2 together for myself. --Moni3 (talk) 21:37, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I talk to the TV, too (sometimes shout at it). But it does answer me--maybe you're doing something wrong.--TEHodson 21:48, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
