Query: Was Operation Hush successful?

After several postponements, Operation Hush was cancelled on 14 October 1917, as the advance during the Third Battle of Ypres did not meet the objectives required to begin the attack. In April 1918, the Dover Patrol raided Zeebrugge, to sink block ships in the canal entrance to trap U-Boats, which closed the canal for a short time. From September–October 1918, the Belgian coast was occupied by the Allies, in the Fifth Battle of Ypres.
Jarett Wieselman of the "New York Post" listed the scene in which Buffy mimes staking The Gentlemen and its humorous misunderstandings by the other characters among the top five best "Buffy" moments, especially praising Sarah Michelle Gellar's (Buffy) comedic acting.

For Buffy studies scholar Roz Kaveney, the primary reason "Hush" was successful was the acting strengths of the central cast.

Series writer Jane Espenson stated the episode "redefined what an episode of television could do".

"Hush Hush; Hush Hush" was produced by Fair, Dave Audé and Quiz & Larossi while Scherzinger handled vocal production and arrangement with Fair. The remix was described as a "dated faux-disco mess" by Nick Levine of Digital Spy.

Media reports speculated that Scherzinger's exit from the group was imminent as previously released single, "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" also marketed her as a featured singer.

Buses equipped with the GM-Allison E50 and the Allison H 50 EP parallel hybrid systems have a special "hush mode" that allows the buses to operate solely on electric power, reducing tailpipe emissions and noise while operating in the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel. Before entering the tunnel, the operator pushes a button that puts the coach into hush mode. While buses are inside stations, the coaches operate solely on electric propulsion (although, while the doors are closed, the engine still rotates in order to operate auxiliary loads). In between the tunnel's stations, the bus uses electric traction to get to , after which a combination of the electric and diesel motors are used. The operation of the diesel engine allows the batteries to recharge. Hush mode is normally deactivated by the operator as they exit the tunnel, but the mode will be automatically deactivated after the coach has traveled a certain distance.
