crazydiamondsue | Favorite Buffy eps, cont.

#9 Hush Favorite moments: Willow saying the “witches” in her Wicca group are “Wanna blessed-be’s” and that nowadays, “any girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she’s a sister to the dark ones.” Willow thinking she’s gone deaf. The Spike/Xander “Nummy treat” scene. The slide show with Buffy’s “obscene” hand gestures and Willow’s mime of killing The Gentlemen with a CD. Anya’s sign language offer to Xander. Buffy’s “fightin’ boobs.” Willow and Tara joining hands and power to move the soda machine. Buffy and Riley’s “talk.” I think this was the first episode from Season 4 where Riley didn't make me want to throw the heck up. When he smashes one of the heart jars instead of the box o' voices and then looks so, "Did I do good?" at Buffy, he just makes me want to hug him. Hug, not straddle. The "Nummy treat" scene now has some serious slash overtones for me, but Joss is king of metaphor. And when Olivia sees the Gentlemen floating by Giles' window I STILL get wigged out.
