Like many of you, I found this episode to be less scary than it was hyped up to be.

I had not even finished season 2 yet when I got season 4 for christmas and I jumped right to "Hush" without hesitation.

Comments:
The auditorium scene with the overhead projector is classic TV...especially with the Xander responses.

Anya's finger gesture to Xander was a bit confusing at first. I thought it was some sort of wedding ring comment until I saw the reaction of Spike and Giles.

Spike's Anya-like voice...good stuff

The catchy tune from the beginning sticks in your head forever.

Gentlemen? Scary enough to make you need to change your pants when they float by the window.
 
I don't think it was scary, however it had a good fight scene and was very creative...Loved it. I really want to see that epsiode again.
 
hush was the best episode for me in season4, i loved the way the gentemen float music great and creepy, and we see tara for the first time.....the conection between willow and tara .....perfect.
 
I loved that episode everything from buffy making that certain gesture..to anya's...to when spike gets beat up...to when willow and tara hold hands...great episode all around!!

just proves the joss is a GENIUS
 
A very good episode

"The Invaders" it ain't, unfortunately. The Gentlemen were creepy.

Just out of curiosity, in carrying out the first phase of their mission, did the Gentlemen also take away everyone's hand-eye coordination (cf. a car crashed into a fire hydrant)?! 😀
 
yeah they were creepy.... got wigged after that i had to talk during it coz i thought my voice had gone... lol.... great episode 😀
 
I really liked this episode.It was creepy, and fynny, and had a lot of action in it. From the start, I knew that there was a connection between Willow and Tara and then I found out in a later episode that they became a couple. That was cool.
 
Okay, I just gave "Hush" another trial run, and shall comment on it a little more.

Very strong, but again, nothing groundbreaking about it (I personally think "Restless" should have been nominated for and won the Emmy). Performances and direction were uniformly fine. The actual deaths of the Gentlemen, though, were anti-climactic. Was I supposed to laugh? Was Whedon drunk when he thought of it? :biggrin:

One thing I like about this episode is that Giles actually gets to make himself useful. One of the problems with Season Four is that the writers more-or-less relegated him to deadweightedness. This episode is not guilty of that.

The musical score is very eerie and fits like a glove with Whedon's overt style of horror.

That the Gentlemen's final purpose is never explained neither adds to nor detracts from the episode. On one hand, revealing it could have spiced the episode up; on the other, it could have instead made it clichéd and mundane.
 
yeah those gentlemen just give me the wiggins.... and that puppet "sid" was freaky... puppets freak me out! and freakydorky i too had to watch it with lights on 😀
 
Oh yeah definately a creepy episode but by far one of my faves, I love the guys make up in this and the way they are always smiling makes them even more sinister.
 
I loved this episode because i actually fought the gentlmen were scary (was only 10 at time) nd also the bit from this episode that stand out in my mind is wen buffy shows she shud stake them to kill them and it looks lyk, u no lol find it funnier now then i did wen i was 10 tho
 
This episode was and is so scary it's not even funny. the music terrifies me... it's so haunting. I love it though.

I swear, the first time I saw it, I didn't say a word for 4 hours. I couldn't. Either I was just really scared, or overreacting, but I couldn't make a sound.
 
yeah i loved the music.. the ep wasnt that scary! its just the first and second time i watched it i jumped when the gentlemen came out of nowhere! lol... other than that it was awesome..

I personally rarely get scared when watching TV/movies, I don't think I found a single episode scary, but I do have a few friends who almost weren't able to finish this episode. Many many people seem to think the gentlemen are creepy.. and I guess they are, but only in a "good" way, imo.. I think they are very awesome and well, love Hush, brilliant episode 🙂
 
This was an episode that indeed had the quality of a fairy tale. After seeing it for the first time I recognized it was brilliantly conceived, still it was a long time before I wanted to watch it again. I can't say I was scared, but there was something very disquieting about it.

The cast was tested as they had to act out their roles in pantomime, without dialogue, and they proved more than equal to the task.
 
Tis was very scary eppy. I finally watched it a few nights ago and it was so creepy. I love their make-up and the music score played a big part in the episode which I liked. Overall, it was a great episode and it was very creative, and a great one to watch around Halloween!

yeah, it would be a great halloween thing, with the scariness and all. its also a great ep in general, for any random occasion of watching! :)
yeah this eppy was pretty freaky and those gentlemen guys are really wierd and scary.i think this eppy was really clever and cool because they couldnt speak and they had to show how they felt in a different way.plus it was really funny when they were in the lecture hall and Giles was doing his slideshow, some of the actions that Buffy and Xander did when they meant something else was really funny,i think that was the writers chance to do some funny stuff relating to sex and not get into too much trouble for it.
