Kiki-

People on Buffy the Vampire Slayer that we will talk about, but haven't given information on yet:

Tara Maclay (played by Amber Benson) is the amazing new witch that has taken a liking to Willow. She plays the shy character very well. Her and Willow do a pretty cool natural magic scene in this episode. They later decide to hook up. Very wonderful couple if you ask me. She also plays Julia in Act Your Age (2008), Noreen in The Killing Jar (2009), and multiple other movies along with a few shows.

Spike (played by James Marsters) is the bad boy vampire that falls in love with Buffy and decides to make friends, in hopes of hooking up with her. In the long run, they end up using him for information on bad guys they face. He also plays Brainiac in the TV series Smallville, Captain John Hart in a TV show called Torchwood, and in many other shows (guest staring in most).

Rupert Giles (played by Anthony Head) is the close friend, and informant of Buffy and the rest of their little gang. He is the guy that knows all about the monsters they come up against, or has easy access to the information so he can do some over night research. He also played Stephen in a TV show called Free Agents, Uther in a TV show called Merlin, and was in many other TV shows.

Now, as for this episode. I would have to say that this is one of my favorites. It was written so that Joss Whedon could prove that he could make a great show without dialog. For the first 5 minutes, people wont stop talking. Then they lose their voices while they sleep. It is then like a silent movie until the last 5 minutes. When they get their voices back, they don't talk as much as they did before, thus showing that they learned a lesson about arguing so much and interrupting each other all the time.
In the beginning, Willow notices Tara at a wiccan meeting. No one in their group wants to take Willow's spell idea seriously and when Tara tries saying something, supporting Willow, people don't listen. Later in the show, while being chased by the Gentlemen, Willow and Tara realize that together, they have a lot of power. This is where Willow starts to like Tara.

In the beginning with Buffy and Riley (Marc Blucas), they won't stop babbling and just kiss already. Once they lose their voices, they can't babble anymore, so Riley ends up kissing her. At the end, when they are going to talk, they just don't.
With Xander and Anya (Emma Caulfield), they are arguing because Anya doesn't understand how Xander likes her, because this is his first real relationship and he doesn't know how to act. After they lose their voices, Xander walks in with Anya laying on the cough and Spike on his hands and knees by her. When Spike hears Xander walk in, he sits up and their is blood on his mouth. Xander assumes that Spike as killed Anya, so he attacks Spike. Anya then sees that he cares.

The Gentlemen are these guys who take away peoples voices in a whole town and rip out peoples hearts so you wont be able to scream. They are these creepy looking guys but dressed nice and act polite. Where as there jockys wear straight jackes and do all the dirty work.

T-
This episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is all about communication. It goes without words for most of the movie. After the first five minutes, all characters lose their voice and need to comunicate without talking. The Gentlemen, as this episode's bad guys, know they can't be killed by a man made weapon. Their death is brought by the scream of a living human, not a recording. Buffy and company have to fight them and their dogs until they get their voices back. They are killed by Buffy's scream and their heads blow up.
