           Binged the first half of the season Saturday, and the 2nd half   
   today.  Lots I could comment on, but for now it will be 'Hush".   
      
           First -- Giles' Orgasm Friend, Olivia.  There were dozens of   
   beautiful black actresses around when the series was being filmed  in the   
   late 90s and early 2000s  --     Robin Givens, Lela Rochon, Halle Berry,   
   Vivica Fox, Vanessa Williams, Lynn Whitfield, to just name a few.   
               Obviously most were doing movies and/or wouldn't want to do TV   
   (or Buffy),  but my point is that the woman who played Olivia is one of the   
   ugliest women I've seen.   
               SURELY they could have found a more attractive actress.   
      
       Second - it seems like the Gentlemen could have gotten all seven hearts   
   that first night if they really wanted to -- no one was too scared to open   
   their doors.   
      
       Third -- why would Willow open her door when she heard pounding on other   
   doors? By this time, everyone knew they could be next to die.   
      
       Fourth --  when Buffy and  Riley were in the clock tower fighting the   
   minions, there is only twice when he looked at her. The first time when she   
   was swinging on a rope and knocked one of the minions backward 20 feet or   
   so. The second time was when Buffy was knocked down by a cardboard barrel.   
   But when they talked the next day ("Doomed"), Riley was going on about her   
   strength and speed and how amazing she was.   
      
           Fifth -- I noticed that even though she had a couple of chances,   
   Buffy never attacked any of the Gentlemen.   
      
           Sixth -- I've seen the episode many times, but I have never heard   
   what would have happened if the Gentlemen  had gotten all 7 hearts (I think   
   they only had 5 or 6 when B&R got into the clock tower).   
      
           Seventh - when Riley told Buffy they had to talk at the end of the   
   episode, I was waiting for them to start. But when I saw "to Be Continued" I   
   think I literally shouted out "What? NO!"   
      
           Eighth -- even though 'Hush' got all the glory, I think that 'This   
   Year's Girl' and 'Who Are You?" were better (Faith comes out of her coma and   
   goes after Buffy).
