"Hush" (probably the creepiest episode of the show ever) was about a group of demons called The Gentlemen that could not speak, could only smile and show their metal teeth. They stole the voices of everyone in town (through magic) so they could float around and steal their hearts without a problem. They had these weird demony straight-jacketed things that went around and attacked people for them. It was never explained, I don't think, why they needed the hearts, but in the end it was Buffy's screaming (a magical box that contained the voices had been opened) that killed them, exploding their heads.
The overall theme of the episode was about communication. The gang had to find creative ways to communicate so they could figure out what was going on and stop it. Scary, funny,and fun. Great episode. Scared the crap out of me--and I was 21.

So I guesse it never occured to them to write things out. Hmmmm, smart.

I thought Hush was an amazing piece of work. And they did write things out! The masterpiece of Joss making an entire show without words (almost) that was understandable and believable (as far as vampire stories go) and at the same time, creepy, funny and a whole lot of fun. It was as if someone said to Joss, "I'll bet you can't make a silent show that stands up to the rest of the series." And he said, "Just watch me!" and there was Hush.

Of course they ended up writing things out. I explained the basic details, not every little one. You're using what you want as an excuse to be nasty, plain and simple.
With all do respect, Misstressahara, I kind of have to wonder, why are you on the BUFFY and ANGEL boards as much as the rest of us when you repeatedly claim that you have no interest in the shows?

hardly... spike was one of the most sensitive males in the show, and he always knew what issues people were having before they or their bestest friends/family noticed it 
and on topic... I dunno, it all fades for me
I've watched them all too much and things that had me in floods at the mere thought of them before, now have hardly any impact...but the ones that are fading slower are:
the yellow crayon speech,
spike crazy the church in beneath you,
dawn cutting herself to see if she's real,
faith beating herself to a pulp in who are you,
buffy making andrew cry in storyteller,
angel coming to dance with buffy at the prom,
buffy's response to finding joyce in the body,
but the rest of the body I find a bit tedious now, which is sad...

Hey now, you got me all wrong! Spike's one of , if not my FAV character. My comment per his shaggin' Buffy was simply a poke at Chrisisall and his chickified tendencies. Truth be said, I find Spike's sensitive side and ability to 'get' what others look blindly past to be refreshing. I'm glad that his becoming a deamon didn't erase that quality in 'William'.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

so "mentality of spike" would actually be closer to chris's chickifiedness, wouldn't it?
it's good to know you appreciate that in a man though

Off the top of my head, one quick moment that hasn't been mentioned...
Forget the espisode but season 5. Buffy asks Spike to look after Dawn and he has her in the caves. She complains about something and Spike reaches his hand out to her head. When she looks up, he lets it drop before he's touched her.
What's fading? The whole angsty Bangel 'ship seems so high school since I've grown up and gotten a real relationship. Tuxedo man and Sailor Moon have the same dynamic. The hundread year old vampire and the high school sophmore just seems kind of creepy now. (I know many disagree. Flame away. )
