Summary: Momentous, Daring, Excellent!
Review: Most likely the best season of Buffy, the second season marked the shows maturity both as a show, as well as the characters. The show took a dramatic turn when mid-season, Angel loses his soul and reverts back to Angelus, thus becoming the big bad of the season. When Angelus begins killing central characters, the show truly grows dark. The second season of the show includes:1. When She Was Bad
2. Some Assembly Required
3. School Hard
4. Inca Mummy Girl
5. Reptile Boy
6. Halloween
7. Lie To Me
8. The Dark Age
9. What's My Line (pt. 1)
10. What's My Line (pt. 2)
11. Ted
12. Bad Eggs
13. Suprise
14. Innocence
15. Phases
16. Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered
17. Passion
18. Killed By Death
19. I Have Eyes Only For You
20. Go Fish
21. Becoming (pt. 1)
22. Becoming (pt. 2)

Summary: Classic Season
Review: This was a great season, and a good place for the uninitiated to start. The characters all become more fleshed out and the addition of favorites Spike and Drucilla is priceless. The evil Angel storyline is possibly Buffy's finest. "Beginings" parts one and two can not be missed, and will leave you breathless. I remember how shocked I was with the second seasons ending, and have been hooked on the show ever since.

Summary: By Far the Best Season of One of My Favorite Shows
Review: This is my favorite season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I think it is in large part because of the Buffy and Angel relationship. They are just so great together, and they have the forbidden love of all time. It also has to do with the fact that there isnt a single episode of this season that I do not love. This season is all about drama, drama, drama. And I love it. The drama really starts with the two part episodes Surprise and Innocence, when Buffy and Angel consumate their relationship. That is when you find out about a pesky little gypsy curse and that Jenny isnt really who she seems. In Passion, the first main character is killed in what will become the deaths of many throughout the years. It is heartbreaking and I cry every time. But the best episode of the season, my favorite of the whole series, is Becoming Part 2. The last 20 minutes of that episode just break my heart, and make me despise the character of Xander for quite some time.(I like him in 1st, 4th, 5th and 7th season, but cant stand him in 2nd 3rd or 6th) I also love how they make a reference to this episode in the 7th season episode Selfless.(Buffy makes numerous references to it, but my favorite is during that episode). This is the first dvd set I ever bought, and I would recommend it to anyone who hasnt seen the show before.

Summary: Buffy hit its stride rather quickly....That's great!!!
Review: The second season of Buffy is for many many fans the best season of the show(not myself included).I don't wonder why.It starts a bit slowly but the first half of the season introduces some really great new characters(such as Spike).It also has its batch of masterpieces such as School Hard and Lie to Me.Also,it is just more entertaining than season one,already.Things really pick up with the second half,however.The Angelus story arc has never really been outdone as far as emotional story arcs go and is one of the greatest achievements of the show,ever.Hell,Becoming is my favorite episode(both parts)of the entire show.Okay,Innocence and Passion are big contenders,also.There are many other great episodes,too.Season two really starts to develop the characters and flesh them out even more.We get to know about Giles' past and Cordelia starts to date Xander for example.It's also the season that started to go more in the grey area instead of just black and white.Basically,we can consider season two the most important season of Buffy because it made the show into the greatness it's become.I must also mention that Angelus is a favorite of mine as a Big Bad.Unfortunately,season two is a little overrated at the same time.Some episodes are really bad(Reptile Boy,Killed by Death) and the season does not fully pick up until the second half.The good outweighs the bad but considering I see no real flaw with some other seasons,I consider season two a little overrated,indeed.Season two is must-own for Buffy fans.It makes season one look only okay in comparison and its best episodes will always stand as some of the greatest tv ever made,even outdoing season one's Prophecy Girl.The dvds are fine with a decent amount of extras but with average picture quality due to the 16 mm film.The menus are annoying.They look good but I don't like them too much.Anyway,season two is so great,words can't do justice to its genius.Just know it's not the absolute best of Buffy.

Summary: The Best Season In The Series
Review: This second addition to the Buffy saga is, in my opinion, without a doubt the best. A Buffy fan to the end, I can truly say that the second season is when it all clicked: each character's personalities culminated in a spectacular 22 episodes of comedy, horror and shocking disbelief. As now our dear Buffy and Scooby Gang are dearly departed, I encourage you to pop some popcorn, make yourself cozy in your favorite chair and watch the best darn season Buffy had to offer!... and the extras on the DVD set ain't half bad either!

Summary: Fantastic
Review: This is the season where "Buffy" came into its own. The first season was delightfully campy and had some great eps, but everything didn't exactly flow. In the second season, however, it clicked. The writing was witty and intelligent, the relationships between the characters were hilarious and heartfelt, and of course, the legendary story arc of the season was...well, legendary! There are a few so-so episodes here ("Some Assembly Required," "Reptile Boy," etc.) but overall the episodes were great. Some of TV's best hours are here, and no one should miss it. Humor, angst, wit, and heart are all found here in Buffy's second exhilarating year at Sunnydale High.

Summary: The show takes form
Review: This was a great improvement over an already great show. The characters start to develop more and become more than just archtypes. Xander and Cordelia fall for each other breaking all rules of status in High School. Willow finds a love interest in the rebellious genius Oz(seth green). Buffy falls more and more for Angel, the noble vampire with a soul. As well as adding some of the most loved vampires on the show. The rebellious Spike(aka William the Bloody) and the insane seer Drusilla(interestingly enough the same name as the sister of Roman Ceaser Caligula). Here are some of the high points. Some Assembly Required: a disturbing look at lonlieness and what a boy is willing to do for his brother. Halloween: A funny take on a magical spell creating chaos over the town. It also introduces a person from Giles's checkered past, something they previously hadn't touched on. Lie To Me: A former friend of buffy's returns to town, but is acting strange. He has something to do with a cult that worships vampires as well as possibly Spike and Drusilla. What's My Line? 1&2: They introduce another slayer, one with a horrible accent, must have taken lessons from ms cleo. A big bad is renewed and another is crippled. Innocence: Angel looses his soul and becomes Angelus, an insanely cruel and sadistic vampire. He then starts stalking Buffy and the rest of the scoobies with zeal. Phases: Oz turns out to have a secret that runs in the family. Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered: A funny tale of Xander using magic to try to get Cordelia back. Only it fails to affect her at all but every woman he comes across falls madly in love with him. Passion: A dark and intense episode, showing how devious and cruel Angelus can be. Becoming 1&2: Angelus, Drusilla, and Spike have a demon that could suck this reality into hell, and they are willing to use it once they can figure it out. But the allegences aren't as clear as they were before, and the scoobies must unite to stop them. A classic end of season two parter for one of the best seasons available. If you are going to watch one season of Buffy, this is the one to watch.

Summary: A classic season
Review: Buffy the Vampire Slayer really came into its own in its brilliant second season. This season introduced an extraordinary new villain, the charismatic vampire Spike, superbly played by James Marsters. Spike's partner Drusilla, a mystically crazed vampire who sees strange visions and longs to destroy the world, is a less successful creation. Also introduced in this season is Oz (Seth Green), who becomes a love interest for Willow, allowing her to drop her childish infatuation with Xander and mature as an individual, and Jenny Calendar, who provides a bittersweet love interest for Giles. Comic relief is provided by Principal Snyderman, well played by Armin Shimerman, who becomes the nemesis of Buffy and her friends at Sunnydale High. In the main story arc of the season, another 'new' character is shockingly introduced in the episode, "Innocence". Angel, the good vampire who Buffy has fallen in love with, is suddenly reborn as his evil self, and we learn that Ms Calendar has been hiding a dark secret. Buffy struggles to cope with betrayal by her lover and the realization that she may have to kill the man she loves. This sets up the plot arc that drives the second half of the season to a shattering conclusion in the two part season finale. The final moments are unforgettable. This is where BTVS transcends mere entertainment and becomes truly great television. It isn't all wonderful. Some episodes fall flat, such as "Ted", where the late John Ritter does a guest shot, and "Go Fish", where Buffy investigates the mysterious disappearance of members of the swim team. But even the weak episodes have some redeeming moments - Cordelia's speech when she thinks Xander has been transformed into a fish is priceless.

Summary: The best season
Review: I think this easily was the best of the Buffy seasons. I loved every season, and each one is great in its own way, but I think when it comes to great TV drama, season two is the winner. So much happens in this season. We see: Buffy and Angel together, and Angel turns bad; we see a glimpse into Giles' past, Giles and Jenny, and Jenny's demise; Oz and Spike are introduced, Willow and Oz get together; Cordy and Xander get together. A lot happens, but it isn't overwhelming, the pacing is just right. The seasonal arc with Angel losing his soul was just the best arc of the show, and "Becoming" was, in my opinion, the single (including both parts) best episode of the entire show. I've seen it dozens of times, and I still get goosebumps when I watch the ending. Simply amazing. I thought both season 5 & season 3 were spectacular, but this season still beats it out (IMO the order of seasons from worst to best would be 7, 6, 1, 4, 3, 5, 2, just for arguments sake). If you're a fan of the show, obviously you must have this. But even if you've never seen the show before, if you're a fan of great television, this is must see.
