Summary: Dawn
Review: Season 5 was great! You all should consider buying it, it was a wild ride, and had really great story telling and outstanding special effects!But, I have to comment on my girl Dawn!
"The Point Of Dawn" Everyone always seems to say that Dawn had no point with the show, but she did, in ways no one would think. Joss Whedon told tvguide.com at the beginning of Season 5, that he wanted Buffy to have a close bond like she had with Angel in the first three seasons, and yet he didn't want Buffy to have a lover to represent that kind of love, so he figured that Buffy should have a sister instead, to give Buffy that feeling of unconditional love that she had with Angel. That was Dawn's point in the series. Picture her as if she was Buffy and Angel's daughter. That was what Whedon designed Dawn for, to be the one that Buffy felt a motherly, yet sisterly, strong unconditional bond that Buffy once had with Angel. And it worked. Dawn is the closest thing Buffy has in her life, and that is because Dawn ,herself, is a part of Buffy, that gives Buffy that bond that they have. Buffy tells them that in "The Gift". Now, this is for that reviewer who wished that the gang should've found out about Dawn, and got back their memories....Well, in "Blood Ties" they all find out that Dawn wasn't really there with them all those years, they find out their memories were tampered with, but they still continue to think of Dawn as a real human being, because she IS a real human being now, and thats one of the reasons why Buffy died instead of Dawn, because Buffy knew Dawn was human, and deserved a life, and not die for something she didn't know she once was. That, and the things I said earlier, were the reason why Buffy died, for Dawn, instead of letting Dawn die herself, not having a chance of life. Thats one of the reasons why everyone should buy this DVD, because no matter how much Dawn may have got on your nerves, the meaning they're trying to teach you, is the strong love of familiar bonds that Buffy and Dawn experienced in Season 5. View it for yourself! And then be the judge!

Summary: Buffy Summers Has Matured
Review: Oh my god! I thought I saw everything during season four but Buffy has really matured in this fifth season. She deals with the arrival of her baby sis Dawn, played with conviction by Michelle Trachtenberg of Harriet the Spy and Inspector Gadget fame, as well as the loss of one of the most beloved characters in the entire series. By that I mean the death of Buffy's mom Joyce Summers, played by Kristine Sutherland. We see the return of Drusilla(Juliet Landau), Harmony(Mercedes McNab), as well as Buffy's eternal lover Angel(David Boreanaz). Then she faces off with Glory, disarms Quentin Travers and the Watcher's Council, and in the end of it all dies from a swan dive into the Hellmouth portal. One of the characters I was glad to see leave the show was Riley Finn played by Marc Blucas. He was an unnecessary addition to Buffy's failed love life and would just take a back seat anyway to Principal Robin Wood, and Spike in seasons 6 and 7. Bottom line season five is the ultimate season in my eyes and was the peak of Buffy's maturity. I can not wait until we see the DVD release so that it can be forever immortalized.

Summary: The Best Season Ever!
Review: This season is my favorite season in the entire Buffy series. I think we start to undertstand Buffy's true emotions and thoughts. The episode "The Body" shows that Buffy does have weaknesses and is afraid of something. I personnally am not a huge fan of Dawn, but I think she played a huge part in dispensing Buffy's true feelings. I actually cried at the season finale of this season because I felt that I had just lost a friend and hero. So again, I think that this season was a huge turning point in the entire series and i think the ending was superb.

Summary: dawn ruins it
Review: I think that when Dawn was brought onto the show it ruint the show, for 1 thing she completely destroyed buffy's relationship with Riley and Buffy had to quit college and move home to take care of her,then she had to die for her if the monks had left her in her true form as the KEY then buffy could have just thrown it in the hole instead of jumping in so the key didn't have to. I had hoped that they would give everyone their memories back and remember dawn only from the day that they actually met at the end of the 1st episode of season 5.anyway although season 5 isn't half as good as the 1st 4 seasons i still recommend buying it.

Summary: Buffy Season 5, Great
Review: Buffy Season 5 is great. The hot bod Marc Blucas (Riley) is gone:( Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn) is added to the cast as Buffy's sis:) The dream team of 2 hunks and a babe: Seth Green (Oz), David Boreanaz (Angel), and Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia) are gone:( And James Marsters (Spike) is still on and hot:) Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, and Michelle Trachtenberg look good when they are made up and not all dirty and beaten up on the Buffy set. Buffy was such a great show. It was a good idea for them to release the series on DVD.

Summary: BtVS Season 5
Review: Season 5 is by far my favorite season. There were so many moments that were utterly amazing in this season, all leading up to what could quite possibly be the most shocking and heart wrenching moment of the whole series- Buffy's death. Looking back on the show from this perspective, at the end of it all, I completely understand why Joss' original vision was to have the entire show end with Buffy sacrificing herself to save the world. It would have been heartbreaking, poignant and one of the most daring moves ever made in television. Season 5 is, in my opinion, THE epitomy of Buffy. From her search to discover her Slayer power and what it meant ("Death is your gift"), to fighting for the lives of everyone she cared about (her mother, Joyce, and her fight with a brain tumour; protecting Dawn, her brand new, ball-of-energy sister), to dealing with her own life and trials (dropping out of university, Riley leaving her, giving up her life)- this season has it all. Season 5 can most certainly be summed up best in the puzzling lines from Tara in season 4's finale "Restless"- 'You think you know. What's to come. What you are. You haven't even begun.'

Summary: features!
Review: Looking at the summary of DVD extras posted above, I can say that I am excited that FINALLY there are going to be some interesting features on ONE of these Buffyverse DVD box sets. I am always a big fan of casting calls and outtakes... now if only Joss can get on those deleted scenes I would be in heaven.

Summary: best season EVER!!!!
Review: I know a lot of people hate Glory, but she is my favorite buffy villain ever. After season four, with the grossness that was Riley Finn, I was seriously considering abandoning the show. But season five, despite the existence of Dawn, was a showcase for so many great characters, character developments, and plots. Anya is very likely my favorite character, and I loved the fleshing out she got this season. Out of everyone's reactions to Joycie's death, hers was by far and away the most heartbreaking. The greatest buffy moment ever was, and will always be for me, Spike telling Glory off under torture: "God of what? Bad home perms?"

Summary: I love Season 5!
Review: I think that season 5 was great. As a fan of the Spuffy relationship, I love the Spike crush story line. Dawn was annoying, but younger siblings always are on television. Here are my top 15 moments of Season 5! Take note: No Glory and No Dawn. 15. The lameness of Dracula, but he illustrates Buffy bad addiction to vampire thrall. 14. Buffy's time loop in the Weight of the World. 13. The family vacation vibe of Spiral. (Anya's cartoon inspired ways to kill Glory) 12. Spike choosing Buffy over Drusilla. And how he is rejected by 3 different women in Crush. 11. Anya's made up life story she gives to the Watchers in Checkpoint (also how that lady wrote her thesis about Spike and Giles getting retroactive Watchers pay) 10. Spike's dream in Out of my Mind (also the game of 20 questions) 9. Tara's messed up family in Family 8. Dark Willow goes after Glory in Tough Love. 7. Xander grows up in The Replacement 6. The Buffybot and how Spike shows is loyalty to the Summers Women in Intervention (also the sex with Spike and the robot and how it isn't "better than the real thing.") 5. Harmony trying to be "the big bad" in the Real Me. (also killing a vampire with a wooden unicorn horn is priceless) 4. When Riley leaves Sunnydale in Into the Woods: Vampire + Prostitution = bad 3. Fool for Love is all about Spike. I love the paradox of him going to kill Buffy with a shotgun and then he decides to comfort her instead of shooting her. 2. The death of Joyce Summers in the Body and how the gang deals with her death in Forever. 1. Buffy's sacrifice in the Gift
