      @@markmcmahon4422 The next episode after Hush dealt with th aftermath. Railey was stunned by the amount of freedom she has compared to the initiative. this to the rescue squad the rest of the squad were less enthused. It took them 30 minutes to catch her, and it took her like 15-30 seconds to knock out the squad. I wonder how they explained the incident to the rescue squad that needed to extract his men from trees and rooftops. they landed on trying to stop Buffy from borrowing a Humvee.

    The finished product is worthy of a theatrical release with 9 months shooting and production and a $20 million dollar budget. How this was made, both envisioned and actualized, how JW and crew could see the brilliantly coherent end product as they filmed, is almost unbelievable. (Then imagine the terror of having to cut it for rebroadcast.)
    The mustard segment alone is one of the greatest, boldest, expensive 14 seconds of air ever conceived.

    • @drmayeda1930
      @drmayeda1930 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      The first time through the show went over by about 5 minutes. They cut one song and cut the dead air where there was no dialogue I think.

    • @beachgirl4583

      drmayeda1, they cut 7 minutes, and a lot more than “dead air”.

    • @Bill_Woo
      @Bill_Woo 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      wiki says the original broadcast was 8 minutes longer than others, as is on DVD, but rebroadcasts were cut back to normal run length, primarily with song verse removals.
      Personally, the Anya wedding dress song in one of the more awesome episodes "Selfless" extremely looks like is was culled from OMWF. It even references the mustard song.

      Bill Woo,
      I’ll have to find that note/file. I was so upset I made a list. I think you’re right about Michelle’s dance sequence. They (Netflix, in this case) were missing over seven minutes. Iirc, that included cutting Standing/Under Your Spell (the reprise), and some other critical scenes.

    Such a masterpiece of a show, so underrated in its layers, its successful juggling of several genres simultaneously, and its emotional impact on viewers of all genders and ages. Quick glancers might have just looked at this show and said "Eh, just some wimpy teeny-bopper show." But it is not, it's simply a masterpiece if you care to watch it intently all the way through and pay attention without presumption. Pretty much no show on this channel (CW, formerly WB) or any channel since has been able to do all that it's done all at once as carefully and successfully and have as soulful of an impact on its viewers. There was so much heart put into this entire series.

    Thank you for this! So cool to see the blood, sweat, and tears that went into filming this incredible episode. I remember when it premiered and all the outdoor advertising featured Buffy's eyes with her pupils as musical notes.

      ​@uberanto I imagine the previous comment is referring to perhaps the workload they had, and how the whole "I did this in two weeks" was a result of him really pushing them hard. It's a fine line between abuse and being pushy to get the most out of actors and the crew, and I don't see overt problems with any of the behind the scenes personally. But it's a case of working with Joss Whedon is just really tough going and it's well known some actors really didn't want to do this episode, especially SMG because she is Buffy of course and they had her singing two solo songs and being one of the main vocalists in "Walk Through The Fire". He's certainly not alone with pushing people beyond their limits, and again it's one of those where often the best results do come from pushing people, but whether it's "right" to do so is debatable. Plenty of the best people in the business are crazed perfectionists with insane standards.
