Summary: Possibly one of the best Buffy seasons ever
Review: In season 1 of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", everything was scary and great, but season 2 takes the show to a brand new level, revealing more plot twists. This season shows that Buffy is not just a teen horror show, but there's plenty of drama. Many of the episodes are hilarious and are also nailbiters. For example when Xnader's love spell backfires on him or the Halloween episode. These are truly originals. The villians at the same time are totally awesome, the crazy, future-telling Drusilla and the malicious Spike.And if this cannot convince you to buy the season two DVD, there are great guest appearances, like John Ritter in the episode "Ted" or Shane West in "Go Fish". And don't forget the heartbreaking 2 part season finally!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the best seasons
Review: I really enjoyed Season 2 of Buffy. There were a few "skip" episodes, but all in all I thought it was very entertaining. I am a huge fan of Angel and am looking forward to Season 3. I recommend this DVD for any Buffy fan....especially if you have a computer to access the additional "extras"!!

Summary: Great content, embarrassingly poor video quality
Review: This show has been on television for a while now, but I only recently started watching it. Based solely on what the show appeared to be about, I didn't think I would like it, and for many years never saw it. After seeing a few re-run episodes last year, I have come to find that Buffy is a great show that consistently causes me to laugh out loud and immediately fall in to believing the characters - if not the lives they live! It is well written, amusing, and interesting to watch. I am grateful for all the wonderful ironies contained in each episode.

It is mind-boggling that the video quality of this set is so bad. Everything else about this show, this season, and the artwork and care put into this DVD are high quality, but more often than not the video is two steps down from watching it over cable from the broadcast station. It often appears like a grainy film was displayed over a plate of glass and that we are looking through that plate of glass. In one scene during Inca Mummy Girl you will see more video noise than actual show.

In spite of the fact that the video quality is poor, you should not stop yourself from obtaining this DVD. It's worth having and watching.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent set for the best BTVS season ever
Review: Season two came right out of the gates with When She Was Bad, and the magic those 22 episodes encompassed has not been seen since on any show in any genre. This season holds some of the best episodes in the shows history, episodes that still shine almost five years later; When She Was Bad, School Hard, Passion, Innocence, Surprise, and Becoming Parts One and Two.
Everything came together in season two for "Buffy". Angel (David Boreanaz) was finally added as a regular cast member, as he deserved. His acting in this second season made leaps and bounds into the good, and his transition from Angel to Angelus in Surprise and Innocence is still probably the best piece of acting he has put forth, except for perhaps the scene in Becoming Part II.
The original cast shines in this season, and without Charisma Carpenter, David Boreanaz, and Anthony Stewart Head, BTVS has been severely lacking. There will be nothing like the original cast and the emotions they portrayed early in the series.
Romance wise, the Xander and Cordelia relationship is begun, as is the Willow and Oz relationship. Giles' own tortured romance with Jenny Calendar comes to a haunting and shocking demise in Passion. Chemistry between all couples is off the charts in this season, showing that the writers were right on when pairing couples together. It is not only the emotional scars that the characters must endure, but the physical and psychological.
Sarah Michelle Gellar shows how talented she is in this season, showing her range of abilities. Whether it be a well-timed joke, a heart-breaking speech, or sending her Lover to hell, Sarah excells in this season.
No doubt the best relationship ever to come from this show, (and one of the best in the history of television) the Buffy and Angel relationship, a tale of star-crossed lovers, reaches the high point, only to plummet downward in Innocence. Surprise and Innocence is a close second the Becoming Part I and II for the best two parter in BTVS history.
All in all, season two is by far the best season in the show's 7-season history (at this point). It has all of the necessary elements. Even if you have missed out on season one, you can still watch season two and enjoy it to it's full potential. It's re-watchable and enjoyable the second time or seventy-second time.

Review: I am so glad I finally own this on DVD. The tension between Buffy and Angel is so real it's painful. Angel makes one of the best Big Bads ever. BUY THIS SEASON!

Summary: One of the Best Seasons
Review: As someone who started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer in its fourth season, it was a little hard to watch the earlier episodes. I am not at all an Angel fan, and especially not an Angel/Buffy fan (I know that everyone swooned over their relationship, but I find her current "relationship" with vamp Spike has more intrigue to it, and maybe even more depth), so these earlier episodes maybe don't hold my interest as much as they should. However, being a true fan of the show, there is no way I can dislike any season. But truthfully, I think the second season is one of the best. A lot of stuff happened in these 22 episodes: Spike and Dru came to town and started wreaking havoc, Xander and Cordelia became a mismatched couple, Buffy and Angel had intimate "relations" which made Angel turn all evil, a new slayer came to town, and oh yeah - Buffy killed Angel. My, oh my.

Season two had some classic episodes that could be put on any Buffy fan's top 10 list of episodes: "Halloween" is a devishly fun episode that has everyone in Sunnydale becoming whatever it is they are dressed up as; "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" is a Xander classic, where he has witch Amy put a spell on Cordelia to make her want him back, but instead it makes her hate him and makes every other female in Sunnydale love him. And of course, "Becoming, Part One" and "Becoming, Part Two", the two-part season finale, where the showdown between good (Buffy) and evil (Angel) takes place. But really, it was the simple moments that meant the most: shy Willow and geeky Xander almost kissing, evil Spike teaming up with his biggest enemy Buffy to save the world...little things like that which make the show priceless. This 6-DVD set is wonderful, with great featurettes and interviews with cast and crew, and great commentary on a few of the episodes. If you're a Buffy fan at all, you cannot live without the complete second season, so please - buy it now!

Summary: BUFFY RULES NOW AND FOREVER
Review: Sarah never lets me down with all the monsters and demons she's faced in this thrilling t.v.series I've followed since its begining -now I'm glad to own it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Amazing DVDs with very cool features
Review: If you're anything close to a "Buffy" fan, then this DVD collection is a must have. Even if you're just getting into the show, this is a good way to get some history on the story that miracle man Joss Whedon brings to life.

Perhaps the most loved season, in Season 2 BTVS reaches a peak in the series and the Buffy-Angel relationship. When things start falling to pieces, Buffy finds out who she can and can't rely on. This season has very few "misses" in the hit-and-miss game with one hell of a season finale.

Join in the comedy, horror, and action. This season is when the Scooby gang really comes together and the show gets more varied and more intense.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great show - but BAD transfer
Review: I love BtVS and Season 2 was great, but the pixelation on this DVD set is very distracting, especially in dark or high-action scenes - and Buffy has a lot of both.

I love the interviews with Joss Whedon and the commentaries by Marti Noxon.
