Summary: Great writing, acting -- poor transfer.
Review: Reading reviews of this DVD here and elsewhere has been helpful. It convinced me of one thing ... I'm not crazy. Well, maybe I am crazy, but not in regards to my feeling about this DVD boxed set. The video quality is truly substandard. Now, I seem to recall reading back when the first season came out that the filming on the first two seasons was way below standard. But I thought the first season DVD set was better than this. That being said -- the second season has some wonderful stories, great acting and really is the year this show began to shine. (The 3rd season is my overall favourite.) And I particularly like Marti Noxon's commentary track on What's My Line. ... I just hope the video quality for season 3 is better.

Summary: Awesome everything, startled a die-hard Xena fan
Review: For the longest time I considered Xena to be the show to beat in terms of action and drama until I ran into Buffy: TVS. It combines so many elements that I find to be missing in today's television shows. The DVD itself is excellent quality. I almost have to comment on Drchumley's review, the third or so review of the bunch, about the poor quality. I honestly think it has to be his DVD player because I'm using my Playstation 2 to play it and it plays flawlessly so I may think that is the problem. The picture quality is flawless for me! Awesome job, I look forward to the third season.

Summary: WONDERFUL PACKAGE - TERRIBLE PICTURE QUALITY
Review: This is a wonderful season of Buffy. And the DVD boxed set is an amaxing representaion of that. Superb packaging, great special effects, and cool menus. However, the DVD picture quality on most of the episodes is down right nasty. Some of them, like "Inca Mummy Girl" are so grainy and dark you have to laugh. Random "night" scenes are so dark that most of the features in Buffy 's face dissapear. I own some of these same episodes from the VHS release - and the picture quality is TONS better. I have no idea what happened in the transfer. Somebody please fix this for future releases. What's the fun of Angelus when the scenes are so dark and grainy you can't even see the sheen from his leather pants!?

Summary: Buffy Rocks (and kicks ass)
Review: Nuff said. However, I do like watching this without the commercial breaks, or the hacking that the networks always seem to do to the episode reruns. Missed this and the first season when they were new, which makes them even better on the DVDs. The writers were great for this season!

Summary: Thank God, but also a little ticked
Review: The dvd is great, BUT my one and ONLY complaint about it is love scene between Angel and Buffy in Surprise, they CUT it out. Which really [stinks]. After watching almost 3 seasons of Parker, Riley and Spike the only one I enjoyed the most was the Love scene w/Angel. The fact that it is cut out just really makes me mad, but almost makes me wonder when season's 4,5,6 come out, are THOSE all going to be fade to white. To make things worse the interviews w/Joss show the scenes. Otherwise it's a great dvd, fun to watch and interesting to see the set ups. Worthy of any Buffy fan, but for the ulitmate fan a slight let down.

Summary: Content: 5 Stars, DVD Quality: 2 stars
Review: I suppose that the point of a star system is to rank the quality of the product as well as its content, but it seemed pointless to not recommend this to anyone who would be reading this review. After all, if you're looking at buying an entire season of a show, you're hopefully already familiar with its premise. That said, this is one of the worst DVD transfers I've ever seen. I'm frankly surprised that DVCC, the company that did the transfer, even puts their logo at the end of each disc. Not to mention the numerous problems with halting-motion... Whereas the first season was crystal-clear picture (or nearly), this season is pixelated and grainy. The extras are fine, I guess. Someone should've told David Greenwalt (commentary on "Reptile Boy") that narrating what is happening on screen is a waste of time for both him and the viewer, while Marti Noxon's commentary was fun and relatively insiteful. So, in conclusion, if you have it all on video, don't buy this. Your videos are probably better quality anyway. If not, be prepared for a big let-down, but you'll no doubt enjoy it anyway.

Summary: Show is great..DVD itself not so great..
Review: A *MUST-HAVE* for any Buffy fan! It includes all the great episodes from Season 2. Season 2 introduces Spike into the series, which adds action and excitment. Also focuses on the relationship of Angel and Buffy, which is a rollercoaster ride to say the least. However, the DVD packaging/quality falls way short. When I first purchased the product, I ended up with TWO disk 2s and no Disk 1, which resulted in me having to return it and getting another. The picture quality is up and down, which can drive you nuts. One minute the picture will suffer from "salt and pepper" effects, yet in another scene the picture will be perfect. Which is much like Season 1 DVD Collection did. This should NOT turn you away from buying this DVD, as I said the show is great itself, unfortunately the DVD isn't so great.

Summary: DVD Quality Problem
Review: As some people already said, looks like this second season DVD might have some production problems. I opened the box and played the disc 1, it's of course a brand new but often the picture were macroblocked at the specific position, some are even went nearly a black out. And the audio was chopped badly so that I couldn't even follow the story. This happened all over the disc but especially in the episode 2. There is no visible scratch on the disc but I see very huge smear( I don't know if this is the right word for it). I have just seen only one disc but I already decided to claim for the exchange. I hope it will be better because I love this show so much!!

Summary: DVD Quality
Review: BTVS is a great show, worthy of buying on DVD. However the video quality on these DVD's lacks quite a bit. I was not impressed by it at all and was hoping for better than VHS quality. But because it is Buffy I did and will buy the rest.
The extras on the DVD are packaged better than on the Season 1 DVD, but they aren't really what makes me buy the sets.

Summary: The Great and the Not-So-Great
Review: Season 2 of Buffy is one of the greatest of the series. It hosts some of the best episodes the show has ever aired: "Innocence," "Passion," and "Becoming." However, the season has some of the worst ever aired, also: "Some Assembly Required," "Inca Mummy Girl," "Killed By Death," and "Go Fish." "Killed By Death" has the single worse pun I've ever heard (when Buffy has a fever, she sees the demon... so she hits it and says "You make me sick!"... uh, no). But, the quality of the great episodes overshadow the bad ones by far. Repeat watchings of "Passion" or the final scene in "Becoming Part 2" make up for any bad episodes. While the episodes are mixed in quality, season 2 is one of the best. You get the humor (Xander throughout most of the season, Willow's reaction to Xander and Cordy dating), the drama (Angel and Buffy's relationship, Giles and Jenny's relationship), and the cool guest stars (John Ritter). By the way, Marti Noxon's commentary on "What's My Line?" is great, and the featurettes are worth your time.
