I don't really get the reaction to Hush, though.
Me, neither. I mean, it is fucked up, but not more so than any other episode.
And since this is timely, allow me to share the lolGentlemen.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

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.

I checked the time stamps, and he was commenting mid-episode. So, maybe the heart-cutting?

Because books.
Heh. "Invisible Segways."
It's no more fucked up than any other monster of the week, though. With, say, "Helpless," I was upset, because I didn't want Buffy and Giles's relationship to be irreparably damaged. But Hush was just ... cool. For me, anyway. Especially the end.

I just watched it again last night. I still love it to death, and I still replay the moment when Buffy and Riley face each in battle over and over again.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
"Helpless" fucked me up. That's one of the eps that I had the strongest negative reaction to for emotional reasons.
"Hero" - damn.

I just watched it again recently too. It's still a great episode, but, Jesus, does Joss hammer the thematics. The first twenty minutes is basically nothing but characters setting up the theme of the episode. Talk, say, communicate, shut up, how many different ways can we have people mention talking or saying things??

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought Hush had one of the creepiest monsters Joss ever brought to screen, but that sort of sustained emotional reaction? I have no idea what's prompting it.

Sometimes you are callous and strange.
