Summary: Best Season
Review: I've watched Buffy The Vampire Slayer from episode one and thought that this season was the best season though it was in a tight race with season 4. This season answered a lot of on going questions that started in season 3. Most everyone that was left frustrated from the season 4 finale finally understood all of what was talked about in the dreams. This season was at one time intended to be the last season of Buffy so it ties up a lot of loose ends and in itself is the best season because it is the most complete season. This season had some of the best episodes because of all of the emotional loses that the gang suffered. The death of Joyce which was an amazing episode. Tara being attacked and brain sucked by Glory. Riley's leaving. This season started Willow down her path of almost no return for season six. And ultimately the death of Buffy. It went back to some of the roots of the first seasons with the added depth of the current episodes making this a favorite for both continuing fans and new fans alike.

Summary: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 5 DVD
Review: Seeing as how Buffy season 5 was one of my favorite seasons of the show, the dvd has to be good. If you are a true Buffy fan and/or you are Spike/Buffy fan, this season is a must.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Please, I get bored on the weekend by myself!
Review: I live a pitiful life. I am a social recluse and have no social life whatsoever. Hence, when the weekend comes and I no longer have the company of my coworkers, I escape my sad life with tv. Ever since "The Gift" episodes have started airing, I've been glued to my tv every Saturday. I aspire to have the solid bonds that Buffy and her friends have. They risk their lives to save the world and each other. In the last episode that I saw, Glory just took Dawn away from the shack in the desert. Please release this season soon. If anything, I can learn what a true friendship should encompass from these episodes.

By the way, I have a VHS player. I am not interested in DVD because I hate the black bars on the top and bottom. I like the video filling the entire screen.

Summary: She saved the World... A Lot
Review: Well here, it finally is... Buffy season 5 on DVD. Season Fived aired during the 2000-2001 Television Season, and in my oppion is the best season (where the gang wasn't in High School). Season Five is also were the centrol plot of the show changed so much... It went from "Buffy and her Friends battling Monsters will trying to become adults" to "Buffy and her Friends Battling Monsters and the responsibilites of Adulthood."

This was a magical Season, that will always have a special place in my heart above all the other seasons (except Two, which was pure brillance). I remember watching this season three years ago, and I remember how great it was... the comedy, the monsters, and the heartahce (and let me tell you there is ALOT of heartache in this season). During the season Two key characters are introduced (Dawson - Sister of Buffy, and Warren - Future Evil Badguy), Two minor Characters become major characters to the story (Spike & Tara), and Two MAJOR characters Bite the Dust (for the maybe .5% of the people who are reading this and havn't seen the season I won't reurun it).

Included on this season is the incredible episodes (I was Made to Love you, The Body, Fool For Love, Family, Forever, and The Gift). In "I was made to Love you" the writers show of there writting power so well by changing the mood from happy-go-lucky to throw-the-remot-and-stomp-on-it shocked and surprised. In "The Body" the actors show how wonderful they are, and Joss Whedon uses a tastefully metaphor for death. "Fool For Love" shows the history of the central fang gang (Darla, Angel, Dru, and Spike). Family is the heartwarming episode where Tara becomes a full-blooded Scooby. "Forever" is an episode that searches and demonstrates how people deal with greif in many different ways. And then there's "The Gift" the is no way to proberly descibe this episode... the only thing i can say is I almost broke my TV when i first saw it. And those are only a handful of the 22 episodes of greatness for this season.

The Special Features for the Region 1 release havn't been released yet, but they are always very similar if not the same to the region 2 features which are as follows: Disc 1 - Script for "The Replacement," Commentary for "Real Me" by DAvid Fury and David Grossman; Disc 2 - Script and Commentary for "Fool for Love" by Doug Petrie; Disc 3 - Script for "into the woods," Featurettes ("Buffy Abroad," "Demonology - A Slayers Guide," "Casting Buffy," "The Stunts of Buffy"), and 6 Trailers; Disc 4 - Script or "Checkpoint," "Commentary for "I was made to Love you" by Jane Espenson; Disc 5 - Commentary for "the Body" by Joss Whedon; Disc 6 - Featurettes ("the Story of Season 5," "Natural Causes," "Spotlight on Dawn"), Still Gallerys. That the Special Features, but im keeping my fingers crossed for an additional commentary (like region 1 got for the 4th season dvd) on possibly "Forever" or "THE GIFT".

Thats my review, hope you liked it...

Summary: BEST SEASON EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Buffy the vampire season 5 was one of the best season's ever. as we all know it introduces new characters like dawn summers played by the very talented actress michelle trachenburg. dawn was all the sudden introduced and everyone was confused but later on the story tells how dawn was made and how these monks put false memories into everyones head.

Oh and no one can forget about the big bad for the season un other than glory the hell god.glory was a stronge and crazy god who needed a key to open the portals to hell. this key is a human and yet no one knows who it is. the scoobies must find out who this key is bfore glory finds it and uses it to open the portal.i forgot to mention that this god named glory is as strong as buffy maybe even stronger

While buffy and the scoobies find out who this key is spike is doing stuff of his own like having harmony dress like buffy and having a collection of buffys clothing and pictures.

With spike tagging along and also little sis dawn its going to be buffys hardest mission to destroy glory and save the world again

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quite possibly the best Buffy season of all!
Review: You simply can't go wrong with this DVD. BtVS as a show has so much to offer, humor, drama, romance, horror, everything! I think season 5 incompasses all these elements better than any other season. This season includes some of the best episodes in BtVS history. Episodes like:

" Fool for Love", where we learn that everyone has a difficult past.

" Checkpoint", where Buffy in a wonderful display of loyalty and courage tells off the watcher's council.

" The Body", an episode so powerful and moving I can't even find words to describe it. This episode includes one of the saddest heart-wrenching moments ever to be seen anywhere else. This episode is so disturbingly realistic, with such raw emotion, that I can only view it about once a year. I suggest several boxes of kleenex.

" The Gift", possibly the greatest Buffy episode. Pure love and heroism throughout. It's an amazing ride. Once again I recommend several kleenex boxes.

You will not be dissapointed with this DVD, nor with any other Buffy DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Slayer's most solid seasons
Review: My television passion used to be the X-Files. I watched BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER regularly but never made a huge fuss if I missed an episode or two. Season 5 of BUFFY changed all that.

I hate to say it, but the unforgivable television ploy of introducing a younger character to keep a show fresh actually works for BUFFY. At least, it works in Season 5. Season 6 is a different story. Anyway, in Season 5, we meet Dawn, Buffy's new younger sister (don't worry - they will explain how Buffy suddenly has a young teenage sister in due time). A crazy fashion victim with wicked über-strength named Glory shows up in town searching for a key she claims was stolen from her. Riley and Buffy's relationship starts to go downhill. Buffy's mom, Joyce, gets sick, and suddenly Buffy finds herself in the role of caretaker. In one of my favorite developments on the show, Spike has a few revelations about himself and gets some intense character development as a result ("Fool for Love", the episode where we learn the history of Spike, is one of the season's gems).

Season 5 is a little slow at first, but once Joss&Co. get the steam roller that is the season's over-arching plot going, it's arguably the best season of Buffy ever. As Buffy villains go, Glory is one of the more amusing. (I favor her second only to the Mayor from Season 3.) Dawn is annoying in that little sister way, but by the end of Season 5, I accepted her. (Of course, she starts to lose that acceptance with her behaviour in Season 6, but I digress.) Buffy and the Scoobies all take one more giant step away from childhood, and you can really begin to understand how this rather motley group has managed to save the world as many times as they have.

And of course, there's "The Body". It is one of the most amazing hours of television ever to air. Joss Whedon trades the musical score for a haunting soundtrack of ambient noise and follows our gang around as they react to the news that one of their loved ones has died a natural death. It only covers a few hours of time in the Buffyverse, and there is no huge evil to overcome (well, one vampire, but hey, it's Sunnydale - that's just a normal day's work). The melodrama takes the week off, and yet, if you have a sympathetic bone anywhere in your body, you won't be able to help crying at least once while watching it. (I always break during Anya's speech in Willow's room.)

Other than a few key episodes, this is unlikely to be one of those seasons from which you get all your favorites, but at the end, the sum total will leave you feeling satisfied and glad you hung in there for the long haul.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Body
Review: Let me start off by saying that the sixth season is my overall favorite--which seems to put me in a minority of Buffy fans, so take that into consideration with this short review. This fifth season is excellent as well. In addition, this season contains "The Body", the best 50 minutes (or so) ever produced for television. The cinematography; sometimes unique use of camerawork, sound, etc.; acting; and a sober yet occasionally funny script (with just the right balance of sober and funny) all add up to a breathtaking look at how we all handle the death of a loved one, especially an unexpected death. Intelligent, insightful, moving, and powerful. 'Nuff said.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Good Season Reguardless of What Anyone Says!
Review: Wow, I can't wait for the complete fifth season DVd set for Buffy to become available for purchase it is one of the best seasons of the show and has episodes that are simply amazing and I think al of the actors were in top form especially, Sarah Michelle Gellar and James Marsters, but Alyson Hannigan, Emma Caulfield, Michelle Tractenberg and Anthony Stewart Head were great too and the actress who played Glory one of my favorite big bads is great too, Glory was both scary and funny.

This girl thinks James Marsters is a hottie!
