Summary: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Two DVD Collection
Review: The "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" DVDs have been in production for a long time, and finally, the fans, and soon to be fans, now can enjoy these long awaited DVDs. After the success of the first season of Buffy earlier this year, FOX kicked it into high gear and is now making Season Two and Season Three is expected sometime in January of 2003 or late December of this year...The Season Two was a good season, but not my personal favorite, but very strong, and built a bsaic formula for the next three seasons (seasons 3, 4, and 5). Season Six (which is currently airing with new episodes on UPN) parted from this formula with a kind of slow season, but its really picking up now. I recommend that you order this DVD becuase it is so worth it, and better than the first season, with a pretty low price, compared to X-Files, Twin Peaks, and Sex and the City. So, get it (I recommend Amazon.com), and prepare to be amazed...

Summary: Go on try it...ignore the title
Review: The second season of Buffy is on its way, and it's about time. With the second season, we get the full 22 episodes instead of the 12 of the first season. We also get to see all of the cast members really find their characters. Sarah Michelle Gellar simply shines in this season, reprising her Buffy character and in doing so, brings us along as she matures while dealing with high school, a boyfriend (Angel, a vampire to boot), and her mother finally discovering that she is the Slayer. Willow (Allyson Hannigan) begins her foray into Wicca (which will play heavily in later seasons), and gains a boyfriend as well (Oz, played by Seth Green)). This season is where the show finds itself. Xander, Cordelia, Giles, and Jenny Calendar, all are here and start really bonding together until the scoobies really come together as a unit. This season has MANY great episodes, and the story arc that builds is considered by many as the best of all the six seasons of Buffy. This is the season where we see Buffy and Angel become both lovers...and worst enemies. David Boreanaz plays his evil-self part very well, and many will argue that the 2-part season finale (Becoming 1 & 2) are the best episodes of Buffy period. One of the other things we see is Spike (James Marsters) becoming a likeable villain. This will pan out in later seasons. For Buffy fans, this DVD set is of course a no-brainer. For those who have not watched the show, or don't understand the passion behind the fans, this is the season that will open up your eyes. Ignore the fact that the show sounds like some teenie bopper flick show...it's not. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Season 2 is Ausome
Review: Everyone, trust me BUY THIS DVD. Buffy seasons 2 and 3 are the two best seasons ever. In season 2 some of the best characters enter the show. Kendra the Vampyr Slayer and Druscilla the Vampyr. Druscilla is incredible and one of my favorite characters. The acting is superb and the DVD is a must buy. Plus everyone has to express their intrest in it and buy them so we can get all 6 seasons on DVD ... I must have 'em all. lol. Ok everyone buy it, remember its great!!!!

Summary: Buffy is cool!
Review: Yea, Buffy is real cool! I own the first half of this season on DVD and I love the episodes. It starts with the episode 'When She Was Bad', bringing back Buffy, Xander and Willow together after the boring holidays.~Good training sequence~That episode was cool and pretty emotional and funny: ' A Bitca? ' - Xander Funny Quote, watch for the first episode of the season :).Oz is in a few episodes I can say, so is Angel creeping from the dark. I especially love the episode 'Lie To Me', featuring Jason Behr, the guy of "Roswell" (Haven't Seen Roswell though). It's also an emotional episode where Buffy's friend comes to visit. Other good episodes as well, haven't seen all yet. Like the audio commentary and scripts. Watched episode 'Reptile Boy' with audio commentary and it's nice to hear a lot extra about the episode. Good episode, Xander at his funniest, hehe. Great Menu animations screen. Love the Buffy theme music with nice DVD sound quality, just watch for the dark scenes, it's pretty dodgy. Overall high quality episodes with all the emotion, drama and action that must be seen. ~Remember, I only own episodes 1-12~ It's a must see for Buffy Fans, yea I'm a 16 yr old Buffy fan myself. Sorry, but Angel would have to rule being the best series around now! I also own Angel Box Set season 1 ep. 12-22, which is so awesome and would rule over my Buffy box set. Anyway, good work on these DVDs!

Summary: This is the apex of Buffy-ness
Review: I've been watching Buffy from the beginning, and in my opinion, season 2 is the single best season of the show. Although all of the first three seasons were amazing, season 2 is where they really hit their stride. An amazing season long overarching plot arc, the best villains the series has ever had, all the best romantic couples (Buffy/Angel, Willow/Oz, Xander/Cordelia, Giles/Jenny, of course Spike/Dru, and did I mention...Buffy/Angel? :). This season was a perfect balance of humor and deep, heart-wrenching angst. The characters are so fully realized in this season. You can't ask for better characterizations, and the plots never sacrifice character as they start to do later in the series. Becoming 1&2 are still the two most amazing/emotional/gut-wrenching/rip out your heart episodes of television I've ever seen.

Summary: Pure Brilliance
Review: Buffy the Vampire Slayer has, over the past six years, become a near-obsession with me. I own the first season on DVD, and am excited to hear that second season is in the works. The filming techniques and acting can only get better, in my opinion. Season two flows much better than the first season, drawing away from the slightly choppy filmography, and some of the best characters that have ever been on the show are introduced, including my favorites, Spike, Angelus, and Oz. The underlying storyline really takes off at the beginning of the second season, and comes to a tear-jerking climax in the two-part finale, "Becoming, I and II." Joss Whedon's baby is pure brilliance, and I can't wait for the later seasons to be released.
Buffy is a show that the teen audience can really identify with. Even though Buffy is a superhero and must stop the apocalypse numerous times, she's also trying to live a normal teenaged life. Unfortunately it keeps getting interrupted by her sacred duty. Her character is a role model to young women, showing them how to be strong and brave, albeit under unusual circumstances. The simple epitaph on her headstone at the end of Season Five read, "She saved the world a lot." And she did. In these circumstances I am glad the movie was a complete flop, because otherwise the amazing cast members that have been introduced to us over the years would still be out bartending or walking dogs for a living.
All hail the creativity of Joss! (Just kidding.) Thanks, Joss, for changing pop culture with your cult t.v. show. We appreciate it.

Summary: MORE LIKE 1,000,000,000 stars!
Review: This is my favorite season of Buffy. It is without a doubt the masterpeice. I saw the reruns on FX and it is brilliant! Season two includes the best episodes of Buffy ever! BEWITCHED, BOTHERED & BEWILDERED, SURPRISE, INNOCENCE, WHEN SHE WAS BAD, the introduction of OZ. And one of the most sad episodes of all time, PASSIONS. Becoming Part 1 and 2 will break your heart. If you have never seen those episodes then watch them! Watch the reruns on FOX if you can't wait. Before you do, get a box of Kleenex and get ready to pout. GUARENTEED!

Summary: Must have it
Review: When I first viewed The Buffy Angel Chronicles set, I was hooked. I have purchased/read/viewed most all the published story lines of the BTVS and Angel. Sure I get weird looks from adults when they ask about my favorite TV/book stories (after all, I'm f51). But a hobby is a hobby and imagery with love, pain, hope, fear, terror, good/evil, fun, friendship, loyalty, suspense, and all with great writers/editors/directors/actors; can be a really wonderful experience. I purchased Season 1 DVD and can't wait for Season 2. In season 2 the actors really refined their acting abilities. It's a great year to see again.
It's tough to review a DVD that's not out yet but after viewing BTVS on FX this season, I expect the DVD to be superb since it won't have cuts for more commercial breaks. FX really chopped scenes to make those cuts for the... commercials. All my recorded vhs tapes are worthless because of this. (Maxwell 8 hrs vhs suppliers made out big though.)
Price is a little steap though. What warrants this steap price anyway. It may make me wait until the price drops some before I buy.

Summary: The best season--golden years
Review: Season 1-3 are by far the best seasons with the best episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Season two is the highlight. I easily would rate this the best season. The episodes are all high quality. And the mid season climax Innocence forever changes Buffy. The season finale of S.2 is *THE* Best. Becoming pt 1&2 will forever and always be my favorite episodes, even though right now we're in season six. I would recommend this DVD season to anyone who's a fan, old or new. Because seriously, this is the best season. (if you haven't already gotten the point:))
