Buffy S4E10 - E14

“Hush”

This is a fantastic episode, and I’m sure much has been written on the internet about it. The writing, the directing, the music, it’s all great. I need to remember to not watch it late at night while home alone, though.

Fairy tale monsters come to Sunnydale and steal everyone’s voices, and wordless communication becomes the order of the day. Buffy and Riley find out each other’s secret identities, and Willow meets Tara and does some magic.

Poor Willow

Buffy S4E6 - E9

“Wild at Heart”

And we’re back to the show we know and love, the one that rips out our hearts and then stomps on them and worst of all makes Willow cry. Oz becomes attracted to a sexy singer werewolf girl, Veruca, whose movements are probably supposed to convey some animalistic sensuality but instead make her look like confused poultry.

Please compare Veruca the werewolf to Poppy the chicken.

Willow is not stupid, and knows something is up. She tries to get advice, and Xander suggests she actually talk to Oz about it.

You're not going to untie me, are you?

Angel S1E13 - E17

“She”

Okay, I guess technically Wesley isn’t an Angel Investigations employee until this episode. He is nailing the comedy, though.

Maybe I’m just a sucker for Joss Whedon’s dialogue, but I think Alexis Denisof is actually just that good. Plus, that party scene! I wish I made gifs, because Wesley dancing is completely hilarious. As is Angel imaging himself dancing, which I think is the first time we get to see this Angel, the one who likes Barry Manilow.
