In the episode "Hush" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, strange creatures come to town and try to steal peoples hearts. A significant part in this episode is when the "leader" guy of Buffy, the witch, and the other Buffy crew receives a sketch of the creatures invading the town. He is able to identify them with his vast knowledge of fairy tales. Buffy then goes on patrol and ends up destroying the voice box in a fierce battle with the creatures. She then comes face to face with another problem, Riley is battling these creatures too armed with some futuristic assault weapon. They later decide to have a talk. This scene shows that if you really dig someone it is way easier to be upfront and honest. They could have teamed up in the beginning and taken care of business in a much easier manner. This is totally applicable to the real world. Pete Rose really liked baseball but lied about betting on it for too long and now is forever banned. It's better to just be real all the time.

I agree it is a good idea to be upfront but when you have a situation like Buffy and Riley, where there job requires them to be silent, it is acceptable to leave out a few details.
ReplyDeleteIt is trust a relationship needs. When you are not honest with someone there is no trust and the relationship will not function right. It was a good thing Buffy and Riley found out each others secrets.
ReplyDeleteI agree, honesty is always important in relationships, especially when you hunt vampires.
ReplyDeleteHush was a weird episode. I have never seen an episode of tv where there is more silence than talking which kind of annoyed me but the show had a good point.
