Is it Art?

I like how this article talks about what someone who was just flipping through the channels would think of the episode, "Hush" from Buffy. This is sort of along the lines of what I wrote about in my first blog about the episode. I think the fact that there is minimal dialogue makes the episode very interesting for basically anyone, even if they really dislike science fiction. As I said in my first blog about that episode, I thought how I had to keep my eyes on the screen to have any idea of what was going on in the episode was very engaging. Most silent picture shows, are black and white, with a bunch of frantic movement, I enjoyed how this differed from the norm.

I also like how this article points out the foreshadowing at the beginning, Buffy sees a statue of St. Francis, patron saint of animals, those who can not speak for themselves. St. Francis is one of my favorite saints, I don't know how I missed that foreshadowing, but I thought it was interesting once the article pointed it out.

I think the comparison of "Hush" to Yellow Submarine and Sergeant Pepper is a stretch, although some science fiction may appear to have been thought up while the director was on hallucinogens, I don't think Buffy is a product of an acid trip.
