Summary: Buffy Season 2
Review: Being a HUGE Buffy fan, i believe that the 2nd season was THE BEST, it was the year Angel turns evil, Spike has a bigger part of the show, and Giles' love Jenny Calander met her doom. I feel that the 2nd season still holds some of the better episodes, like Halloween (where everyone turns into what their Halloween costume is), Whats My Line Pts. 1 and 2 where a new slayer comes to town, mistaking Buffy for a vampire. Innocence(where Angel first turns evil after he and Buffy have sex), I Only Have Eyes For You (this is my favorite episode.. just watch and you will see why!) Becoming Part 2--bring on the tissues --this one REALLY got me! Overall I LOVED season 2 it was my favorite. I highly recommend to any Buffy fan-new or old!

Summary: awesome
Review: The story arcs in the second season are brilliant. The romance between Angel and Buffy reached gothic heights with Surprise/Innocence (Surprise is astonishing). When Angel turns bad, David Boreanaz manages to do a sensational job of acting the transition (the episodes "Passion" and "I Only Have Eyes For You" are incredible in detailing this, and Buffy's reaction). Willow's romance with Oz is wonderful, and Giles attachment to Jenny Calendar a welcome addition.This show still manages to be surprisingly funny (as seen in Halloween, and Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered) and packs a wallop (the two part season ender, Becoming I & II, are essential viewing for any Buffy fans. They are incredibly moving). Yes, there are some clunkers (Killed by Death, Bad Eggs), but they are more than redeemed. My favourites are: Becoming I & II, Surprise/Innocence, I Only Have Eyes for You, Passion, School Hard, When She Was Bad, and Lie To Me For a show set in high school, the writers have neatly side-stepped making a caricature of Anthony Stewart Head's librarian/Watcher Giles. His befuddled sexiness is immensely appealing. Alyson Hannigan's performance as wallflower Willow blooming into a witch (her growing powers are smartly charted by writers all the way through season six) is strong, and having the animosity between Xander and Cordelia boil over into lust was a masterstroke. Finally, we have to give the star her due. Sarah Michelle Gellar proved with this season that she's actually a capable actress, both with comic timing (Halloween) and pathos (Surprise/Innocence). The second season was an immense improvement over the first season (a solid debut) and the quality continues. In my mind, the second and third season need to be bought together (or at least both bought). Story arcs introduced in the second season are wrapped up in the third season. Buy this set, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Good content, BAD image quality!
Review: Hey, if you like Buffy, you'll like these episodes. (Like they say below) However, I was very frustrated to find that the image quality can be very poor at times. I tested it on both of my players, to make sure it was the DVD. Makes you wonder who fell asleep whild managing the transfer to DVD format. Grrrr...

Summary: Another Unique, Exciting Season of Buffy!
Review: The second season of "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" is awesome! The style, context, and overall feel to it is unbelievable! Just like the First Season, each episode is jam-packed with fast-paced, dramatic scenes and events. To be able to own all 22 episodes in one nicely packaged set is an opportunity you can't miss! With the show coming to a sad end on May 20th, I encourage you even more to go pick up a set. The DVDs are all easy to navigate and are nicely packaged. Season Two was the season of Buffy & Angel. You'll laugh and you'll cry throughout their second-season adventures. For your benefit, I've compiled a list of short episode descriptions, without spoiling your viewing pleasure: ~ When She Was Bad ~

Summary: YAy buffy!
Review: Even better then the first season, more episodes, more laughs, more tears. Everything is better, including the hair. It is a more exciting season, as well as much sadder. But there is much less useless backflips, which i miss, but still great. It's a season to remember, and has memorable episodes like, "Surprise", "Killed by Death" and "Becoming". Spike and Drusilla are introduced, they are the most intriguing characters to ever appear on the show. Evil, loving, and so careless. If u loved the first season, get the second... now!

Summary: Season 2 Rocks
Review: This is the season where Buffy really breaks out of her shell and starts seriously slaying. There's only so much you can say about Buffy, and it's all understatement. Go out and get this DVD set, because you HAVE to experience it to really get it. All these great season 2 episodes in one place...who wouldn't buy it?

Summary: Buffy finally starts getting serious!
Review: Buffy season 2 has a very different feel than the first season. While te first season had a loose ark of Buffy vs. The Master, most of the chapters could stand by themselves, requiring no deeper knowledge of the whole Buffy / vampire mythology. During the 2nd season, the series started to take itself more seriously. The humor is still there, but it's not as light hearted as season one was. Since the first season served as an introduction to the people and themes of the series, the second one starts developing them. The caracters (especially the minor ones) are no longer caricatures (such as "Cordelia the Shallow Cheerleader" or "Jenny the Cool Computer Teacher") but beacome real people. More background is given about Angel's past. Even though there are a few 'unrelated' chapters (such as 'Bad Eggs' or 'Ted'), there were a few prominent plot arcs (such as the Angel / Buffy love story) which were viewed and analyzed through different chapters. 'Taking itself more seriously' also means that the question 'what being a slayer means' is explored in depth. In 'Ted', the question of Buffy harming a non - vampire / demon / monster human comes up. We realize how lucky Buffy is to have her supporting network of friends when we realize that Kendra, the 2nd slayer (who had been activated when Buffy died at the end of season 1) has a completely different (and solitary) life. At the end of the season, Buffy comes to realize how alone she is anyway, does what she has to do, but then leaves it all behind. And then Angel turns bad (then good again for the last few meanutes of the season). This was not only THE major plot twist of the season, but also gives the 2 main actors a chance to show how good they are. Sarah Michelle Gellar does a great job in portraying Buffys pain and confusion while confronting the 'bad' Angel (or rather 'Angelus', as he is called in his soul - less stage), but also her power and decision during the last 2 chapters of the season, by doing what has to be done - alone. David Boreanaz finally gets a chance to portray something different than a depressed, brooding vampire with a soul ,and seems to enjoy doing it. And last (but not least) - Spike and Drussila. This is another point where season one had a flat - one - faced evil (The Master) while season 2 has a more complex and deeper pair of vilains to go against Buffy.

Summary: Great!
Review: I normally NEVER watch this kind of suff. Many times when I would read or wright, I would have the tv on. The tv would watch me. Since we only get like 5 chanals, Buffy would come on and many times I would change the channel. Well as time went on, one day I began to watch when Spike fell in love with Buffy. After watching the show a couple of times, I found my self totely involed. It is absolutely GREAT! Now I need to catch up on Angel. I want to get Angel, 1rst season also. I AM CURRENTLY A BIGTIME BUFFY FAN and MUST have all and aything to do with her and the gang.

Summary: "I think I'm having a thought. Ooh yeah, that's a thought"
Review: Season Two of Buffy rocks. Full of funny quotes (like the one from Xander mentioned in the subject) and heartbreaking moments, you'll not only laugh, you'll cry, you'll smile, you'll yell at the TV screen and throw things when the plot takes a bad twist. With the introduction of Spike, this is THE season. This season has a darker side to it than the first though. Many things happen that will leave you crying ... There are the usual funny monster episodes, like "Go Fish" where members of the Swim Team start turning into fish and "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered" where Xander accidently invokes a spell that has every woman in Sunnydale in love with him. Season Two is great, and I suggest everyone buy it, just for the Willow and Xander almost kiss in the first episode

Summary: Close Your Eyes
Review: Buffy The Vampire Slayer stepped up in Season 2. It started off with a Season Premiere in which Buffy dealt with any remaining anger and hurt she had about what happened between her and the Master in the Season 1 Finale. However the real feelings that became really important were those that were involved in her loving Angel. The very heart of Buffy The Vampire Slayer came to fruition midway through Season 2. You see, in Season 1 we've already established that Angel was cursed with a soul by gypsies. However we learn that if Angel was to ever experience true happiness he would lose his soul and become an evil vampire. Unfortunately this little clause isn't discovered until Angel has made love to Buffy and is evil again. Throughout the second half of Season 2 Angel is trying to torment Buffy and her friends. He even kills a teacher who Giles (Buffy's Watcher)was close to. All of this builds up to the part that is sure to bring a tear to your eye in which Buffy says "Close your eyes" to Angel before finally having to kill him. It is this moment and the build up to it that formed probably the greatest Season Finale on television and established Buffy The Vampire Slayer as the iconic series that it is. The Complete Second Season DVD is a vast improvement on Season 1. The menus look fantastic, and a real effort has been made with the special features which include Audio Commentaries for for "Reptile Boy", "What's My Line?" "What's My Line? (Part 2)" and "Innocence" and Interviews with Joss Whedon on "Surprise", "Innocence", "Passion", "I Only Have Eyes For You" and "Becoming". Also included are the featurettes "Designing Buffy", "A Buffy Bestiary", "Beauty and Beasts", 2 UK TV spots, 6 domestic TV spots: "Spectacular", "Sensation", "The Warrior", "Ultimate Scare", "Deadly Trap", "Big Bad John", "Angel" video trailer, Season 2 "Buffy" DVD trailer, still gallery of set designs and monsters, updated cast bios and additional still photo galleries (150 stills). Great DVD set for possibly the best season of Buffy The Vampire Slayer!!
