excerpt from episode

an interesting excerpt from the buffy episode 'hush.' we studied it in sch in yr 11

'so this is what it is. talking about language; talking about communication. not the same thing. it's about the way a child can recognise and produce phenomes that dont occur in its native language. it's about inspiration; not the idea but the moment before the idea when it's total; when it blossoms in your mind and connects to everything; before the coherent thought that gives it shape; that locks it in and cuts it off from the universal. when you can articulate it, it becomes smaller. it's about thoughts and experiences that we don't have a word for.'

the episode is about how the whole town loses their voices, and then they must try to ' communicate ' and solve the problems at hand. very interesting indeed....
