Summary: Buffy : The College Years
Review: Things change. That pretty much sums up what this season is all about. Change. Things change. People change. It's because of this change that had many fans undecided about this season of the wonderful show. The departure from the world of high school where you knew your place and the world around you is hard on everyone. You leave to come to a new world and everything is different. I was kind of disappointed with it when I first saw it in it's original airing, but repeated viewings over the years has changed my thoughts and the season was much better than it first appeared. There is still plenty to love here with season four. Buffy Summers and best friend Willow are going to college at UC Sunnydale. It's a different life now. No more high school. Giles is no longer her watcher. Xander isn't going with them. Buffy, for the first time, is completely out of her element, but Willow is in hers. This season showcases just how lives and friendships can change when high school is over and you step into a completely different world. The season premiere, "The Freshman", pretty much sums it all up and shows how it's going to be. Buffy battles a clan of vampires who attack freshmen and then make it look like they left because they couldn't take college life. Buffy's more on her own than she ever has been before. She is sharing a dorm room with an incredibly perky girl named Kathy, who loves Celine Dion and spins Cher all day long. This is taken further in "Living Conditions". Spike returns in fine form in "The Harsh Light Of Day". He is searching for the gem of amara, which is a ring that will enable a vampire to be in sunlight. The conclusion of this episode is the 'Angel' season one episode, "In The Dark". Spike later returns and soon becomes a full time cast member. Buffy jumps on the Halloween theme with "Fear, Itself", a great follow up to season two's "Halloween". This one has the gang attending a Halloween party at a fraternity, where everyone's greatest fears come to life. It's also during the course of this season that we lose Oz(Seth Green). In "Wild At Heart", he is caught with a female werewolf named Veruca. She tries to kill Willow until Oz gets to her. He decides to leave and figure out who he is. He reappears in episode 19, "New Moon Rising", where he has controlled the wolf and wants Willow back. But Willow is now with a fellow wicca named Tara(Amber Benson). The realization of Willow being gay was handled so well and in such a respective manner. It wasn't made into a big deal and they didn't bang us over the head with it. Big kudos to Joss Whedon and company. Especially Alyson Hannigan and Amber Benson. The rest of the season is filled with ups and downs. The worst episode of the season is "Beer Bad". College jocks turn into prehistoric cavemen after drinking beer laced with a potion. It's so bad, but this is Buffy, and they are allowed to give us one bad ep since they give us nothing but good ones usually. Faith awakens from her coma and returns in two of the best episode of the season, "This Year's Girl", which also features an appearance from the mayor, and in "Who Are You?". The first one has Faith given a gift from the long dead Mayor that will allow her and Buffy to switch bodies. This is where the second episode goes. The conclusion of this arc ends in L.A. on two episodes of "Angel", called "Five By Five", and "Sanctuary". Two fabulous episodes. We are also introduced to Riley(Marc Blucas), a TA who befriends Buffy. We later learn that Riley is an operative for the government working in their headquarters under the college. He and the rest capture monsters and others and experiment on them. The organization is runned by one of Buffy's professors, Maggie Walsh(played by veteran actress Lindsey Crouse). The initiative thing never really worked for me. Riley never clicked. He had tough shoes to fill after Angel. This is by no means Blucas' fault. He just wasn't developed. Spike is also captured by the team and has a chip put into his head that will keep him from attacking humans by sending a shock thru his brain. The main villain, a monster hybrid named Adam, is first introduced in "The I In Team". His main plan is to overcrowd the initiative with humans and monsters and start a war to have corpses to use to start his own race of hybrid monsters. This is obviously the weakest story arc the show has had. Adam was introduced way too late and wasn't given enough time to develop himself or his plan. It just didn't work. It was a real disappointment. The real stand out of this season is the incredible and brilliant "Hush". Half of the episode without dialogue and also features some of the creepiest monsters the show has had. The best episode ever. "The Initiative", "Pangs", "Doomed", "Where The Wild Things Are",
and "Superstar" are all fine, but mostly are file and forget it episodes. "The Yoko Factor" has Spike trying to tear the scooby gang apart, which is something that has been slowly happening this season anyway. Angel also appears in this episode and we finally see him and Riley meet. "Restless", the finale, is a mind blowing episode. It's all dreams and it feels like a dream. A perfectly executed episode. Season four is not, by far, the show's best season. It has exceptional episodes, and some that aren't so exceptional. After such perfectly executed first three seasons, this one just feels uneven all the way through. It's not the weakest season(that would be season six), but it just doesn't gel all the time. The cast is still top notch and still shows that they are some of the finest assembled casts to be on television. It's hard to watch our friends in such a different environment and kind of lose the closeness they had. But that's what the show has always done. Tried to be true to life, and they always succeed. They do here, but it's kind of hard to watch. But even when it's not always clicking or at it's best, "Buffy" is still head and shoulders above most everything else. The good episodes here are just exactly that, and there are plenty. But the mediocre and uneveness of the season and some episodes get in the way, and keep it from getting the full five stars. It's a real good season, but not near up to par as the first three. Season five was a glorious return to form.

Summary: Not the Best Season but still Amazing!
Review: Many changes happened in the fourth season of Buffy. First, there was no Angel. Second, no Cordelia. Three: Introduction of Riley, Four, intoruduction of Tara. While Season 4 was not one of the best seasons of the series it gave us some of the shows best episodes including the emmy nominated Hush, which to this day still remains one of best episodes in television history.
Season 4 was basically about Buffy getting use to life in college. Its there she meets Riley who is part of an underground military operation called The Initiative. The focus of the season is Buffy fighting against Adam, who was created by Prof. Walsh, the leader of the Initiative and Buffys professor.
The season starts off strongly with the hilarious episode Living Conditions when Buffy thinks her new, annoying roomate is a demon and Fear Itself, when the scoobies are trapped in a haunted frat house. The show tends to slow down the pace a bit as it starts to revolve more about Riley and The Initiative, but things pick back up in Hush, when we meet Tara and we get to see Alyson Hannigans Willow evolve into a woman and powerful witch.
Tara, played by Amber Benson, is a nice addition the cast who has a big effect on Willow in more ways than one. Marc Blucas as Riley is very blah, but you get use to him, and actually start to feel sorry for him.
Things also pick up when Faith comes out of her coma and is intent on making Buffy pay for what she did to her. Who Are You? and This years Girl are two excellent episodes.
The season ends on a high note as we get to a glimpse as to whats to come in Season 5, the most exciting season of the series. Although one of the weaker seasons, Buffy still manages to make us laugh, cry, and keep us on the edge of our seats. Sarah Michelle Gellar remains the heart of the show, but in this season we finally get to see the character of Willow blossom into something very powerful.

Summary: Buffy: Season Four
Review: Season Four is one of the best season of Buffy. They finally go to college and Angel leaves for L.A. But he did not leave completely, he still came back for a couple of episodes. Season Four is very different from all the other seasons, but that is what has made it one of the best! This season we find out that Willow is gay, and her girlfriend is Tara. They make a really cute couple. In the last episode of the season, Buffy, Xander, Willow and Giles get attacked in their dreams by the First Slayer! In Buffy's dream Tara tells her "Be back home before dawn." Which forsadowing Dawn, Buffy's sister in Season 5.

Summary: Buffy The Vampire Slayer: SeAsOn 4
Review: A Great season compared to the outstanding 3rd season. While there is not much of an appearance by Faith, we get a small dose of her until the highly expected return of Faith close to the end of Season 7. I highly recommend this dvd boxed set. The Big Bad is great this season, but not as creative as the last season. Also the Buffy Seasons are getting released quicker as they go along. Expect the 5th Season of Buffy to get a release date some where between Oct 1, and Jan. 2004. I do believe Glory is the best Big Bad thus far. Here Is A List Of The Episodes That Will Be In This Box Set: The Freshman
Living Conditions
The Harsh Light of Day
Fear Itself
Beer Bad
Wild at Heart
The Initiative
