Early!Riley was good. He was competent but mysterious. It wasn't until he was all whiny and "why doesn't she love me as much as I love her" that I grew to realllly not like him at all. I remember being torn between being sad for Buffy when he left but being really happy for me because he was gone, gone, gone!
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

What is even happening?
Ah, yes. Why does she think her mother's cancer demands more attention than my flesh wound Riley. Early Riley was great. Whatever else people want to say about As You Were, it did restore a measure of dignity to the character.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm going to half-assedly defend him a bit. Because the neediness was @@ times infinity, but I think that was mostly just the timing. I think once the newness wore off, she really didn't act that into him.
So even while wanting to shake him and scream, "It's not about you!!!" I could still see where it was coming from.
Though breaking up with her in the middle of all that? Douchy.

I'm listening to OMWF, specifically the music from "Hush". I'm too lazy to hunt this up myself, plus I don't have the liner notes (folds up the Jolly Roger quickly), but a great deal of it sounds a lot like Danny Elfman's music to "Sleepy Hollow"--which sounds a whole lot like the Stargate theme, but that at least makes sense since Elfman wrote both of those. Anyway, did Elfman have anything to do with "Hush"? Christopher Beck is listed as the artist, but I'm not sure who he is.

Beck was the series composer, he did all the Buffy music through the 5th season, I believe.

I love the scene where Angelus breaks Jenny Calendar's neck and then kind of revels in it? Still beautiful.

Giles finding Jenny, on the other hand -- so horrible and sad.
