Summary: The last great season.
Review: Season three is the last great season of Buffy and possibly the best of the series. The writing is tight, creative and true, which cannot be said for the later seasons, and Whedon et al are at the top of their game. The combination Big Bads of Faith and the Mayor are a riot. Whedon really did a good job of creating entertaining villains with full, captivating personalities. The poignant Buffy/Angel storyline is also well conceived and their relationship ends the only way it can. The showdown between slayers, Faith and Buffy, is classic, and the final battle brings a great ending to the high school years. Seasons 1 through 3 are the best of the series, and the Season 3 DVD is well worth owning.

Summary: Buffy Season 3: Television at it's best
Review: Widely regarded as the best season of Buffy by far, Season 3 finally comes home! In this fabulous season we are treated to the first appearance of Faith, the rogue slayer and the Richard Wilkins, the mayor of Sunnydale, a man brimming with secrets. This season was marred by controversy, as 2 episodes were held over to late summer after the Columbine shootings, but this was a season firing on all cylinders. Television perfection.

Summary: Buffy doesn't get any better than this!
Review: Buffy the Vampire Slayer is more than a guilty pleasure, more than an inventive exciting drama; it's an opportunity to see a sexy girl kick some dead booty, and with mega-wit and mega-style. And no season thus so far has been as good as season 3, a mish-mash of out-of-this-world monsters, one gothic bad girl (Faith), and a demonic mayor bent on destroying Sunnydale. Srah Michelle Gellar has all the charm possible to have in a show like this, and her supporting cast (especially Anthony Stewart Head and Nicholas Brendan) bring forth a subtextual quality to the melodramatic bloodshed, a grand feat in itself that most other shows aren't able to do...

Summary: The Buffy goodness keeps trickling in
Review: The third season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is finally coming out on DVD. In case you've been living under a rock for the past six years, Buffy is a TV show about a young blonde Southern California girl named Buffy - who happens to be the Chosen One, destined to fight the powers of darkness. Along with her friends Willow and Xander and her Watcher, school librarian Giles, she faces vampires, demons and worst of all - the SATs. Season Three covers Buffy's senior year of high school at Sunnydale High. At the end of Season Two, Buffy sent her true love Angel to hell in order to save the world from destruction. Devastated, she ran away to start a new life in L.A. The episodes are as follows: "Anne" - Buffy is working in L.A. as a waitress under her middle name, Anne. But when street kids start disappearing and an old friend (sort of) asks for her help, Buffy must become the Slayer once again. "Dead Man's Party" - Buffy's home, but things aren't hunky-dory yet. And when it seems things couldn't get any worse, a pack of zombies rise from their graves and come after Buffy's family and friends! "Faith, Hope and Trick" - Faith, a sassy new Slayer, comes to town. Everyone seems to love her, but Buffy's not quite as impressed. Then she finds out that Faith didn't come to Sunnydale alone... "Beauty and the Beasts" - A series of brutal mauling deaths casts suspicion on Willow's boyfriend Oz (who happens to be a werewolf). Meanwhile, Buffy must deal with Angel, who has somehow returned from hell. "Homecoming" - Buffy and Cordelia clash over who will become Homecoming Queen. But when Mr. Trick organizes Slayerfest '98 on the same night as the Homecoming dance, Buffy and Cordy find themselves in a race just to survive! "Band Candy" - The Scoobies are less than thrilled that they have to sell candy to support the band. But when Joyce and Giles - and every other adult in Sunnydale - start acting like irresponsible teenagers, they find they have a lot more to worry about. Like Joyce and Giles kissing and more... "Revelations" - Faith's new Watcher, Gwendolyn Post, arrives in town. But when Xander catches Buffy and Angel smooching, and Giles learns of a powerful magic glove hidden in Sunnydale, things really heat up. "Lover's Walk" - Spike returns to town, heartbroken that his lover Drusilla has left him. When he captures Willow and Xander, Buffy and Angel must cooperate with him to save them. "The Wish" - Cordelia, betrayed by Xander and Willow, wishes for a world where Buffy had never come to Sunnydale. Little does she know that vengeance demon Anyanka is there to grant her wish. Suddenly Cordy finds herself in a world where Willow and Xander are vampires, Giles is leading a plucky band of evil fighters, and the Slayer is in...Cleveland?! "Amends" - It's Christmastime, and things should be cheery. But Willow and Xander are trying to make amends to their significant others, and Angel starts having terrible dreams of his evil days that are driving him mad. "Gingerbread" - Sunnydale goes Salem when two children are apparently killed by witches. Who makes a better target than teen witch Willow...or Slayer Buffy? "Helpless" - Buffy turns eighteen, and must undergo a trial by the Watcher's Council. But when things go awry and Buffy's mother is kidnapped, Buffy has to save her...without her Slayer strength! "The Zeppo" - Xander takes the forefront in this humorous episode. While Buffy and the Scoobies are busy saving the world, Xander finds his inner tough guy and loses his virginity...to Faith!? "Bad Girls" - When Buffy starts hanging out more with Faith, friction builds between the Scoobies. The arrival of a priggish new Watcher, Wesley, doesn't help. But when things go drastically wrong on a late-night mission and an innocent man is killed, the two Slayers find themselves in deep trouble. "Consequences" - Faith's refusal to accept responsibility for the assistant mayor's death makes her very dangerous, as Xander finds out firsthand. But not as dangerous as when she makes a secret alliance with the genteelly evil Mayor of Sunnydale. "Doppelgangland" - Anyanka's back, and wants her powers back! She enlists Willow to help her, but instead summons Vampire Willow from the world of "The Wish". As you can imagine, this creates quite an interesting situation! "Enemies" - Faith's alliance with the Mayor finally comes to light when she tries to remove Angel's soul. "Earshot" - Buffy gains telepathic powers after a fight with a demon. After hearing a threat to kill all the Sunnydale High students, she must try to find the would-be killer...even though hearing everyone's thoughts is slowly driving her insane. "Choices" - When Willow is captured in a raid on the Mayor's headquarters, the Scoobies are faced with a choice: save Willow, or stop the Mayor? "The Prom" - Buffy and Angel break up just before the senior prom. But it's just as well, given that Buffy will be busy trying to stop a disgruntled students from releasing Hellhounds to attack the students. "Graduation Day" - In the two-part season finale, just before the Mayor's Ascension Faith shoots Angel with a poisoned arrow; the only cure is the blood of a Slayer. Buffy has never wanted to kill - can she kill a former friend to save her lover? A quick word on the extras: there's just episode commentaries by several of the writers and some featurettes on various aspects of the show. (But that's not bad for a TV series on DVD.) All in all, this is a really good set, and comes highly recommended.

Summary: The best television show of the 90's, perhaps even ever
Review: What really can I say about 'Buffy' that people don't know already. I could easily mention the constant wit, the humour, the tragedy and the dramatic innovation that the show constantly displays. But then it's been said all before. It starts off brilliantly with 'Anne', and episode that provides a fantastic follow-up to the tragedy that Buffy has had to endure and the cliffhanger ending of last season. Now based in L.A. she finds redemption and herself after literally having to go to hell and back. It's these constant little metaphors that make the show so brilliant, and they don't stop there. This series also introduces what is probably the best nemesis Buffy has ever had to fight in the form of Faith (Eliza Dushku), a slayer gone bad as well as being representative of all Buffy could have been. So effectively fighting herself, Buffy is tempted to the dark side by her fellow Slayer in the powerful two-parter 'Bad Girls' and 'Consequences'. Yet it's in Whedon's (the show's creator) dealing with Faith that makes her so unique. Rather than staging her as a typical bad guy he created a wonderfully sympathetic character that, rather than just being simply evil, is someone who has been pushed to it by an inability to bond with normal people; her father/daughter relationship with the other Big Bad, the Mayor, is beautifully touching. In fact, Faith became such a cult character among fans that she returned for a brief stint in Season Four. The third season also has some fantastic stand-alone episodes as well, in particular the widely acclaimed 'Earshot'. Taking what at first appears to be an obvious story (Buffy is given psychic powers) it turns it into something else that, despite being controversial, is incredibly sympathetic to the cause. As the episode begins in humorous form it is quickly transformed into a deeply upsetting story about suicide and misery. It's remarkable that an episode that contributes very little to the overall story arc can be this fantastic but yet again 'Buffy' manages it. Another episode worth mentioning is 'The Zeppo', already a cult episode among fans, which sees Xander realise his own potential. As the rest of the cast are involved in a fantastically, and purposefully, overblown fight to the death with a creature from the Hellmouth the action focuses squarely on Xander and his realisation that he doesn't have to have super powers to be one of the gang. Aside from his smile to Cordelia at the end, the highlight has to be Xander's talk with Oz on the essence of cool which is just about one of the most hilarious sequences the show has ever thought up. Of course, it would be wrong just to focus on a few episodes as all are unique in their way. Yet 'Graduation Day' definitely deserves a mention. Not only is it highly dramatic, but also touchingly romantic. It would be difficult for anybody not to be moved by the 'Drink me' scene in which Buffy offers her blood to save Angel from death. There is also a brilliantly choreographed scene in which Buffy fights it out with Faith, in perhaps the best fight scene of the entire show. However, it is the element of prophecy in the final episode that really marks it out, with Dawn being referenced to early on as well as Buffy's eventual sacrifice (when Faith says 'counting down from 7:30' it's a reference to 730 days in two years, the amount of time until the end of season five). With a show that thinks this far ahead it's hard not to be impressed. All I can really say is 'watch this - it's probably the best TV show you're ever likely to see'.

Summary: Real Life Lessons In Buffy
Review: My first thought about Buffy The Vampire Slayer When it came out was " Oh no, the movie [was bad] and so will this". I had no interest in watching it at all. However my niece and I watched one night ( It was one of her favorite shows)and after that I was hooked. I missed the entire third through the seasons and some of six. However I am making up for lost time since then and here is what I have come up with. Most people are turned off the title. A lot of people are turned off by its theme. However, there is more to Buffy than snappy come backs and stakes through heart along with your occasional beheading. Buffy has a lot to say about life, real life. The show through season six shows Buffy going through everyday worries, battles and pains just like we do. Two of my favorites are the ones where Buffy has to let Angel go no matter how strong their love is before it destroys them both. The other is when Joyce, Buffy's mother, dies of a brain tumor in a later season. Also, she battles unpaid bills, finding herself flipping hamburgers at the Doublemeat Palace later in the Show's life. The show has it's times that has left something to be desire like any other show, the second and third season is a must for anyone starting watch Buffy. Joss Whedon often time will bring things from other seasons to make sense later on what did not then. You will find the beginning or the Buffy/Spike/Giles trio start at the end of the second season has her blond haired nemesis leaves town, only to return the third season as a regular. Xander is a character that, if you have ever felt like a nobody, you can really relate to. He's wonderfully witty and those big browns will have you hooked in no time. Though Angel returns from the pits of Hell, by the end of the season on Graduation day, Buffy and Angel come to the terrible heartbreaking conclusion that to save themselves, they must destroy their love.You begin to see a wonderful and charming romance take off for Willow and Oz that is short lived in up coming seasons. A romance that would later lead her into the arms of...another woman? But to understand you must see season three before any of the other seasons, and understand why Buffites are so territorial.

Summary: The one !!!
Review: This is it , it's the best season of this show. In here you met the two sweetest villians of all the series: The Mayor and (my love) FAITH !!! In here you see a most developed ,a more self-confident and strength Buffy character. Willow is the queen of the wicka and Xander rules. I think that this season was the best of Joss mind and heart. This is the place were you should be to know the future of the whole series, with Faith telling Buffy about so much things from the future (her sister, Glory, Buffy's inminent death and return, etc.), all this by dreams. This is why I give this season 5 stars and the whole universe.
