Summary: Almost
Review: The themes of this season were well developed and the direction the writers took the characters (regardless of the pain it caused them) was necessary for the evolution of the series. The execution, however, was flawed. Quite a few episodes seemed sloppily written, and the season's highlights such as Once More With Feeling / the whole Evil Willow arc were too few and far between.Still even at its worst, Buffy manages to impress and remain engaging.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gripping, touching
Review: Yes, season six was a far, far cry from the teen angst of seasons 1, 2 and 3. It was dark, difficult, but brilliant--absolutely every storyline was just gripping, scary but so realistic and so emotion driven.

From "Tabula Rasa" (Willow's spell goes wrong yet again...) to "Once more with feeling" undoubtedly a work of brilliance, to the darker later episodes--"Smashed" Willow delving deeper into the dark magics, Buffy delving deeper into...uh...Spike. (I also think Spike and Buffy have the most amazing chemistry this season)to Anya and Xander's doomed marriage, the downfall of poor little misguided Dawn--I related too and was fascinated by every little subject in this not-very-liked season (It alos had just gone to UPN channel, leaving behind the little green frog at WB) but I can watch season six episodes more often than any other season--except of course, season one.

Wonderful.

Summary: The season that defined the series.
Review: Season six was to some a disaster waiting to happen, but to many more, like me, it was an achievement that made the entire series. So much happened in this season, and to sum it up, it was the season with the most real life problems. Many of the problems presented defined each of the characters we've grown to love.

Buffy was brought back from the dead and had to deal not only with the fact that she had to raise dawn by herself, but had to really deal with the fact that all she is, is the slayer.

Xander and Anya both had to deal with love issues, which eventually makes Xander leave Anya at the alter.

Dawn has trouble couping with life, basically because she feels left out.

Tara has to deal with Willow using magic to much, and eventually leaves her. When they finally get back together, the most horrible thing that has ever happened in the series happens.

Willow has to deal with that "horrible thing" and ends up becomeing the most powerful and evil witch that walks the earth, and almost destroys the world.

I would have to say that this season really pushes each of the characters into a position that made them define every action they ever did in the entire series. It was the best season out of them all, and it gave some of the most powerful messages that any series on television have ever given.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: When they brought Buffy back, They forgot her brain
Review: This season started Buffy's decline and actually made me look foward to the cancellation of the show before they made it worse.
I would have preferred stopping at season 5 with Buffy dead rather than continuing on to see her and Willow's characters being butchered over the last 2 seasons.

The largest mistake the made was placing buffy in a romantic relationship with Spike (a souless being who tried to kill her dozens of times and was responsible for the deaths of dozens of people). this very relationship is treated as a joke in earlier shows as being a fate worse than death.

They also took my favorite character (Willow) and decided to drop her iq in half, destroy her moral compass, addict her to magic and then finish her off by killing off Tara

Their big bad was a joke as well (three geeks decide to take over the world) they may have been interesting enough for 1 show, but the joke got old really fast.

My reccomendation is to stop at season 5 and pretend seasons 6 And 7 do not exist

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!!!
Review: This season was simply amazing, except episode 12... we won't get into that. One episode though can't destroy a season, I mean we have a musical episode, the darker sides of our favorite scoobies showin through and [kickin'] ... magic. oo! Don't forget the trio! Can't go wrong with 3 nerds who work together to bring down there greatest enemy, buffy. ... and for those spike/buffy fans... ... BTVS once again has great writing and excellent acting, all you can say is wow! ... ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BUFFY SHINES!
Review: The sixth season of Buffy is truly an awesome season. In the fourth season of Buffy you see a sort of downfall in the show. But only for a while. The writers quickly picked it up and brought if full swing into the 5th season, wich was also an awesome season. In the sixth season is when you really truly begin to see the characters true colors. You get to see an evil, ruthless side of Willow. Xander leaves Anya on there wedding day. Buffy and Spike "hook up". Dawn's growing as a teenager, Tara dies and Giles isn't in every episode. It also explores the consequences of your actions. It starts of with these 3 nerds who want to take over Sunnydale. Although they keep the nerds in the show, the writters also do little mini-stories also. The episode "Normal Again" completly through ALL fans off track. "Huh? What is Buffy real?". You also see Buffy get a job at the pequliar Double Meet Palace and has to take care of Dawn and learn how to pay the bills and look after Dawn(all the things an adult experiances). And the musical episode. How could you write a review and not mention the beautiful "Once More with Feeling" episode that was clearly picked apart to make it just right. So all together "Buffy the Vampire Slayer the sixth season" is DEFFINETLY worth watching!

One of the best episoded is ONCE MORE WITH FEELING were the cast sings about there inner thoughts to eacher other. And this DVD set will have music videos for some of the songs that are sung in this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Why don't you like this season?
Review: ... The relationship with Spike and Buffy is a great one, and then you have tension between Willow and Tara, which isn't a good thing if you like the two, but this ultimately leads into a great story line with Willow doing to much magick and then trying to destroy the world.
You have Jonathen and Warren out to get Buffy which only turns into a very comical thing to watch, they are no match for the all powerful slayer, oh wow, I need to get a life. But anyway, Anya is a demon again after her semi-wedding with Xander.
So, there is no reason for you to get upset about season 6, just be happy that Buffy made it past season 5 because it originally wasn't suppose to. OK?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buffy On Acid
Review: This was a truly unique season for BTVS. Sadly followed by the lame seven season, but. The darkness and everything about it gave it a very surealistic atmosphere. Eps. that come to mind are "Doublemeat Palace", notice how loud the time clock stamps the time, "Normal Again", the whole of the BTVS universe is a figmant of she imagination. "Hells Bells", I mean even before you watched it, provide you didn't get spoiled someplace, you knew the wedding would never happen, but the intensity of it. Riley with the VERY (Heather's) scar and of course "Once More With Feelin" aWWSome. This was a truly intense season, riviling IMHO the second season, this set, even though at this time, I don't have it except on tape goes down as one of the most critically aclaimed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: People shouldn't complain
Review: I'm going to go ahead and go on record and say that there was not a single bad season of BTVS. From our introduction to the slayer and her gang of scoobies to their ambiguous future after Sunnydale gets sucked into the Hellmouth. Every season was a gem. The characters grew and developed in a very real and natural way and for some reason a lot of viewers seem to take issue with that. It seems as though people wanted the characters to all react just the way they wanted them too rather than as actual people would act. Yes, Willow's turning evil was jarring but that was the point---you were supposed to be horrified by it. This is someone you've come to care about making horrible and dangerous decisions. The very idea that they brought Buffy back from the dead shows that the scoobies were all only thinking of themselves, as people often do. It made you see them as 3 dimensional characters...not 2 dimensional cartoons. Yes Spike tried to rape Buffy but just because he'd started to become "good", evil is his nature and in an extreme situation a person's true nature will show. People wanted everyone just to be happy go lucky fighting oversized demons and making jokes...they'd already done that for five seasons...I thought the idea of the trio was the appropriate way to go...They were inept humans but they made choices that affected the scoobies in the most extreme way possible and nearly brought about the apocalypse second hand...just as had nearly happened the other seasons. All in all season six was an amazing season of growth and deep sadness...but the sadness of it is beautiful. You see the characters as your friends with real flaws to set off the qualities you love in them. Excellent and anyone who disagrees isn't looking at it the right way.
Bleh.
