Summary: BTVS was the best TV show ever!
Review: Don't be fooled by the "usual suspects" that find fault with inconsequential details and such. Buffy was the best, most-creative television series ever! And I have seen them all. There are no "bad" seasons in the bunch. There are no bad episodes in the bunch either--name one other series where you can say that! You won't find a "clip show" in the entire series run. Continuity is excellent throughout the series run. Wedon and Co. created the "Buffyverse" and nothing is ever forgotten or contradicted. This is the one series where it is worth investing in the entire 7-season set. "Angel", the Buffy-spinoff, is another! Better find out how to write UPN to pick up the show before it disappears, too! You won't regret that decision either! So, let me summarixe...BUY, BUY, BUY ! I am 50-years old, by the way. Everyone will enjoy this purchase, not just the very young and inexperienced.

Summary: not the best season of Buffy, but its all good
Review: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy) is dead and the gang, James Marsters (Spike), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Nicholas Brendon (Xander), Amber Benson (Tara), ALyson Hannigan (Willow), Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn) and Emma Caulfield (Anya), are still vanquishing those demons we love to see them kill with the help from he Buffybot from season 5 that Spike created for the (makes porn music) exactly. at the end of this episode Willow, Tara and Xander bring her back and for good this time. This season also includes such wonderful and memorable episodes such as Tabula Rasa, Smashed, Dead Things, Hells Bells, Normal Again, Entropy, Seeing Rede, Grave and that good old musical Once More, With Feeling (which mostly all the cast members sing pretty well) emotions rise, friendships fall, relationships crumble, death and peace all sewed into one package. Though Dawn is an essential "key" to his show, I really thought she was getting more annoying this season. Nicholas Brendon is chunkier then ever but the more the fluff the more the loveable and Alyson Hannigan with that memorable black hair at the end is simple gorgeos. Also James Marsters getting a soul at the end is a shocker of an ending of this season and we all know what happens next, well the fans do. so enjoy and when it comes out I know I will. does anyone miss Seth Green as Oz, I know I do

Summary: Season 6-Another Success of BtVS
Review: As a truly dedicated fan for over seven years now, Season Six of Buffy stood just as powerful as ever. Episodes such as "Grave" and "Two To Go" showed the true reality of mourning and coping with death, and "Once More, With Feeling" combined original Buffy with a more campy, silly taste of Joss Whedon's brilliant mind. Buffy taking on a "normal" job gave viewers a look at what life could have been for Buffy, if her destiny wasn't as The Slayer. Don't even get me started-I can't explain in words just how breathtaking the season's finale was..you gotta see it for yourselves! This is an absolute MUST BUY-don't wait one more minute! Let Buffy live forever through this DVD!

Summary: Not my favorite
Review: I didn't really like this season: there was way too much sex in this one. I preffered the more "innocent", I suppose you could say, that was in the earlier seasons. Season two is my favorite, which is currently the only DVD set I own, but, I've seen almost every Buffy episode on television (I missed the end of season three and the first part of season four). As I build my Buffy collection, I'm not sure if I'll include this one, but I eagerly await seven: I loved that season. Spike's return with a Soul brought with it the angst that I felt with Angel and Buffy in the early seasons and some episodes made me get all teary eyed, which isn't a common thing for television shows to do for me. Andrew becoming a goodie was also a plus point for me, I truly adore the boy, :) he was probably the best part of season six come to think of it, ^^
Season six, however, does have its plus point along side Andrew. 'Once More With Feeling' is a good episode, I love the music and the dancing in it, ^^ Good stuff.

Summary: Still Great, but Different
Review: The Sixth Season of Buffy was indeed different. A lot of people seem to have had a problem with the darkness of the season, the emphasis on real life problems. However, I think the creation of the trio was brilliant. This season was all about exploring how the characters responded to real life challenges, as was the case with the trio. What made them so brilliant was the viewer could trace the devolution of the trio from mischivious to truly evil. They were normal people, a trio to match the early trio of Buffy, Xander, and Willow who allowed their greed and discontent to consume them, especially Warren. I found the trio truly chilling, if only because of all the monsters on Buffy, they were the only ones that were a glimpse of what a human being could become in reality.
Moreover, this season had many of the best episodes of the series. Once More, With Feeling is brilliant, I think in anyone's estimation. Tabula Rasa also is very funny. The finale of the season was a slam dunk, and Xander's yellow crayon speech was incredibly poignant. All the characters faced their inner demons by the seasons end; some triumphed, others were left in the following season to pick up the pieces from their disastrous choices.
I also can't wait for Season 7 to be out on DVD

Summary: Season Six
Review: I am a huge Buffy fan, so I watch with eagerness even the worst episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Yes, Season Six wasn't the best season in my opinion (Season Two was), but I thought it began and ended very strongly. "Bargaining" kept me riveted, especially Willow's spell to resurrect Buffy. The final arc of Dark Willow was extraordinarily well done, with "Seeing Red", "Villains", "Two To Go", and "Grave" being very tense, emotional, and action-packed. It's the middle of the season that prompts me to give this season only four stars of five. "Doublemeat Palace" was to be a funny take on the fast food industry, but just came off as a weak idea that went nowhere. I never was a fan of the Buffy and Spike relationship, but I understand the reasons Buffy turned to him for sex and the feeling of living. The only exception to the Season Six mid-season slump is, of course, "Once More With Feeling" (that sort of goes without saying, right?). This was the finest hour of television produced in 2001, tied with the Buffy Season Five episode "The Body."

Summary: Highly anticipated DVD for a mediocre season
Review: This season received some much-deserved criticism (as a DEVOTED fan, I agreed with most of it) but it does include what I (and many critics) agree to be one of the finest hours of television ever produced, the musical episode Once More with Feeling. How Whedon and crew didn't get nominated for every single possible award is beyond me (there was a rumour about an assistant's error in sending in nominating forms, he's most likely working at Double Meat Palace er, I mean, In and Out right now). There were some great high points in the season, as well as many low points -- "evil" willow in the end of the season wasn't nearly as scary as she was the season before when she went postal on Glory, and Tara's death seemed pointless and only used to move the plot along (as compared to the other, most "important" death in the series, that of Jenny Calender which really seemed to matter). The lowest point being the episode featuring Xander and Anya's wedding debacle (I and many of my friends who are devoted fans felt this episode in particular was the low point of the entire series, frankly) but I only criticize because the 5 years earlier has been so stellar -- it must have been almost impossible to keep it up. Still worth the money, just for Once More With Feeling alone.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: Though some of Buffy's audience was turned off by the negativity of the Vampire Slayer's sixth season, dramatically it was by far the most fulfilling year for Buffy. The characters were forced to face not just symbolic monsters but how monstrous life can often be. From the banality of a fast-food job to the brilliant Xander/Anya non-wedding to Willow's breakdown and even in the slightly overated musical interlude, the humanity of Buffy's characters was explored as never before. Unfortunately, the seventh season which followed was a dull, overplotted disappointment that drifted away from the characterization which this sixth season highlighted so brilliantly.

Summary: Leaning towards excellence
Review: I have heard so many people say that this season was the worst season. But I can't see it. Having been with the show since day one and although seasons 1-3 kick ass we all had to graduate at some point in time. That's what this season does, it takes us away from the happy go lucky lets slay a demon and showed us some integral parts of our characters, Buffy heading toward a nervous break down by spiraling to the abyss and into Spike's bed hit hard, using sex as an escape to feel anything is a feeling anyone who has ever had their heart broken can empathize with, Dawn, although more whiny than last year actually came out of her place as "the key" and became an intriguing character that I love to hate. Xander and Anya, although destroyed by their own fears in the end, stood out as the cornerstones this season. Giles was a welcome goodbye and return, Buffy is 22 now she needs to learn how to depend on herself as she started doing in season 5. The Trio, although a poor exscuse for villains, had a certain comedy to them that brought a lot of Buffy's highschool dramedy back. Willow, the main character as she should have been for this season broke all taboos about wicca and love, she succumbed to the only grief that can possibly kill any human being, losing someone who was your soulmate. Tara's death touched as much a cord as watching Joyce's death and acted as reminder that love is the most powerful thing in the universe. Joss was right this season we got to see our guys grow up and explore the darker side of life. The highlight besides Grave and Two to go...I am sorry but seeing Willow so in control and powerful was the highlight of all the seasons, we got a slight touch when she went toe to toe with Glory, but this time although what some might consider evil, I thought she was the most human out of any of our characters and Xander holding her at the end made me cry just like all the past seasons(Angel dying and Joyce and Tara all run a tie) and lets not forget "Once More With Feeling" The most inventive wonderful gift television ever gave use beside Buffy the show. "I'm Under Your Spell" became my wedding song, and although no awards and much criticizm were given this season, I think it was one of the finest in all of television. I thank Joss and co. for that. Can't wait till season seven. That;s the one thing I can ay about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, there was never a bad season.
