Moeller- Is it Art

The episode of "Hush" is unique apart from all other episodes in Buffy. Not only does it incorporate artistic thinking to have created the storyline, but it captures the whole meaning behind art. Most of the episodes are about demons and monsters of the original sort. Here, writers decided to include fairytale creatures that are the "monster" type known as The Gentlemen. The reason I think this idea is altogether artistic is because, at first thought, I would not have guessed any Buffy episode would deal with fairytale creatures. The whole silent act was clever because it was something new for the audience. It was difficult for me to watch the show because I found it challenging to watch something with little noise compared to a normal show with loud action. As Moeller writes,"It is visually sound and somewhat challenging in terms of not falling too deeply into the pit of TV sameness-to a moderate degree" (Moeller 106). That is what art is all about, new things and brilliant ideas!

  1. This is a really good blog and it gives you a different perspective on what the article could mean. I never thought of the fact that trying something new could be considered a form of art. This is interesting to me and I like the perspective that you have showed me here.
