Summary: Buffy Season 3 is Buffy's finest season
Review: Season 3 of Buffy is simply the best season of Buffy. It has everything you could possibly want in a season, and nothing you wouldnt want. If it was posssiblie i would give this season 100 stars. The introduction of Faith was just brilliant, she has proven to become one of Buffy's most intersting and exciting characters. This season's best episodes are Faith, Hope and a trick which is the episode where Faith is introduced, Dead Man's Party, Band Candy, Helpless, Bad Girls, Earshot, The Prom, Graduation Day Part One, and the best episode of Buffy of all time, Graduation Day Part two. This episode is simply the best because it has everything, the mayors ascension, who is also Buffy's best big bad, who is as great as being evil, as he is being hilarious (he has some incredibly funny lines. The fight between the "new" mayor and the students of SUnnydale High which is simply incredible, and Angel leaves. Angels exit from the show is very sad, and will touch fans of Buffy deeply because of how much Buffy and Angel really love eachother. Overall best season ever, best big bad ever, best everything ever. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended, if your'e into Buffy, this is the one that will please yout he most. Of course everyone should get Seasons 1 and 2 before 3, but get it, because you will definately not be dissapointed, and will have a great and enjoyable experience watching it. Again, highly recommended, and an absolutely wonderful season

Summary: The Best of Buffy
Review: Season 3 is perhaps my favorite of all the seasons. It is gut wrenching, funny, and pure "Buffy". The DVDs are getting better with each release. I wish they had an interview with Sarah Michelle Gellar and the entire cast..maybe on the very last DVD they will. Here's something for you Buffy fans to look for in case you haven't already. Season 7 is dealing with the "First Evil" and even refers to some events that took place in season 3. If you watch Season 3 closely, you will see references made to the First in that season.
For those you collecting "Buffy" on DVD, Season 3 is a MUST!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best season
Review: This is the best season - there is not a single bad episode. My favorite episode is probably 'Bad Girls' (yes, it has the Buffy and Faith dancing scene, but it also has everything you could possibly ask for in an episode, from a great demon (Balthazar), to great scenes with the Mayor, and Wesley's introduction).

The only thing that bugs me is that they messed up the faces of the characters on the disks. Buffy should be on the first disk, Faith on the last (she gets defeated), Angel on the third ('Amends'), Xander on the fourth ('The Zeppo'), Willow on the fifth ('Doppelgängerland'). If they got to put Spike on a disk, they could have put him on the second, since it has the one epsiode he was in ('Lover's Walk'), but I would put Cordelia on that one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Faith Rocks!!!
Review: Faith was one of the best things that could have happened to the Buffy universe. She's smart, she's tough and she doesn't give a damn! She's the only one that could truly be a match for Buffy. To Faith, it's all 5x5.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Season 3 is another feather in the BUFFY cap
Review: You'd think one would get to enjoy one's senior year in high school, but for one Buffy Summers.....it's NEVER easy. For fans of the TV cult hit, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, the 3rd season would provide some of the most memorable moments in the show's history. Not only did the season bring an end to both the high school arc and the Buffy/Angel romance, which drove the show, it would introduce one of the show's most captivating characters in the rogue Slayer, Faith. It certainly caused considerable controversy when an episode and the 2nd part of the season finale were both delayed until almost the start of the following season by the WB in an overreactive response to the Columbine shootings. Needless to say, the WB took considerable and justified flak for that one.

As always, Sarah Michelle Gellar is at the top of her game as the title character, while David Boreanez is back in fine brooding mode as her vampire boyfriend, Angel. Alyson Hannigan is a treat as she plays her "evil vampire" twin in a couple of wonderful episodes, but it is Eliza Dushku's wild-child Faith and Harry Groener's Ward Cleaver-like Mayor that practically steal the show. Dushku is wonderful at playing the conflicted, lonely and rebellious Slayer as she practically takes over every scene she's in. Groener matches her with a gleefully folksy style that makes him one of the most memorable villians ever on the show.

As with the previous DVD sets, the special features are a bit on the thin side. Mainly some promotional featurettes, selected episode commentaries, and interviews recycled for the 3-pak VHS set. Still, for fans of the show, this is a must-have for your collection. Especially if you enjoy top-notch TV, this is definitely recommended.

Summary: The Best Season That is on DVD as of Now
Review: I love this show. I have grown up with it since the second season and let me tell you that even though im a guy, i have cried so many times i cant count. This is the best Season after Season 5 and season 7, which arent out yet. :( This season, even though two seasons away, sets up for the resolution of season 5. Faith: "Little Miss Muffet counting down 7-3-0". Refering buffy as little miss muffet and 730 as 730 days, or two years, when buffy sacrifices her life to save the world and dawn. and speaking of faith, she'll be back soon in the new season :). This season introduced faith, the rogue slayer, as a good guy gone bad. She ended up helping the mayor achieve his ascension, and led to his downfall. This season started out with Buffy in L.A. living by herself since she ran away. but after one episode in the big bad city, she returns home. Another plus is that Angel... well if you haven't seen it i don't want to spoil it for you! If you love heartbreak, comedy, suspense, and everything else buffy is known for; you will love this season.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buffy Just Keeps Getting Better
Review: The Third Season is terrific (just like the First & Second Seasons). I can't wait for the Fourth Season to arrive. The crisp clean video and high quality sound on the DVD's add a lot of enhancement and sparkle that you don't see on a regular TV. I like to watch the DVD's on my PC's fairly large HD screen. It's amazing how much clearer the scenes are and how much extra detail you notice. It's also pretty nice to not be constantly interrupted by loud obnoxious commercials. LOVE IT! If you are a Sarah Gellar or Buffy fan, you gotta get it!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing Show
Review: This is the only show that flawlessly combines comedy, drama and horror. On the surface, we see trials and tribulations of teenagers but it is very much an adult show. While there are elements appealing to the younger audience (fight sequence, teen situation, attractive cast), much of the show's appeal delves deeper into our human condition. We can all relate to many, if not all, of the characters. It's no wonder Buffy viewers are so fanatic. Season 3 continues in that wonderful tradition.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Magnificent!
Review: The quality of this DVD was so much better than season 2. I was really impressed with how well this DVD was put together. I can't wait for the 4th and 5th season. Great plot, great layout & set-up, great special features! An awesome DVD collection!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: REJOICE! THE FAITH SEASON HAS ARRIVED!!!
Review: This is the season of Buffy that I love simply because of guest star Eliza Dushku (Faith). Eliza's portrayl of Faith was, and still is, one of someone searching for something to belong to. Who hasn't felt like they didn't belong or fit in? To wit, here is a list of MUST-WATCH Faith-related episodes:

Disc 01 Episode 03: Faith, Hope, & Trick - this episode introduces Faith with the memorable line, "Isn't it weird how slaying makes you hungry and horny?"
Disc 02 Episode 07: Revelations - Faith places her trust in Buffy only to be lied to, believes Xander only to be mislead by his hatred of Angel, and follows Ms. Post only to have Ms. Post belittle her and try to kill her. It illustrates just how great the divide is between Faith and the Scooby Gang.
Disc 04 Episode 13: The Zeppo - Faith and Xander do it. Nuff said.
Disc 04 Episode 14: Bad Girls - Buffy and Faith begin to bond only to have it broken with an unintentional murder.
Disc 04 Episode 15: Consequences - Faith denies the murder, showing her descent into darkness and emptiness.
Disc 05 Episode 17: Enemies - Faith's duplicitousness is revealed.
Disc 06 Episode 21: Graduation Day Part One - Buffy and Faith fight; Buffy proves Faith right when she mortally injures her.

There are other stand out episodes too...

Disc 02 Episode 06: Band Candy - see Giles as "The Ripper" when Sunnydale adults become teenagers (mentally) after consuming chocolate candy. Hilarous episode.
Disc 02 Episode 08: Lovers Walk - Spike returns, madness ensues. Buffy and Angel realize they can never be "just friends," Xander and Willow kiss in front of their respective honeys, and Spike chews up scenery with his broken heartedness.
Disc 05 Episode 18: Earshot - Buffy becomes temporarily telepathic.
Disc 06 Episode 19: The Prom - classic Slayer-Saves-The-Day...and the whole school knows that she's the reason more of them are still alive.

Why only 4 Stars? Because "Dead Man's Party" and "Gingerbread" were ridiculous and could've been written better.

If you are a Buffy fan or just started watching the series, Season 3 is a MUST HAVE!!!
