Summary: Recommended for the true fans
Review: Most of season four was, in my opinion, not the best. However, the two stellar episodes in this season ("Hush", "Restless") make this a must-have for any true Buffy fans. Furthermore, there are a number of solid episodes involving Willow ("Wild at Heart" and "Bad Moon Rising") and even the reappearance of Faith ("This Year's Girl", "Who Are you?").

Summary: The worst season, but even for that!
Review: This season rocked! Only, a little too much Riley in the 2nd half, although it was funny watching Angel beat the ... out that guy! A couple of characters held this season together, even though it was weak, and those 2 were Willow and Spike. Although, you have to hand it to Buffy, Giles and Xander, who did incredible jobs as well, just Willow & Spike were so funny! The Freshman: 9.5/10 Buffy struggles against vampire named Sunday. Hated her! Don't pick on my Buffy! Living Conditions: 8.5/10 One of the worst of the season, and one of the only episodes without Angel, Spike or Riley. Only others, The Witch, The Pack, (I Robot, You Jane), The Puppet Show and Nightmares. That's all in the first season! Anyway, Buffy has a really really super annoying roomate who turns out to be a demon! Bad tastes in music as well! Harsh Light of Day: 10/10 Look out! Buffy sleeps with a guy named Parker who's just in it for the sex. Then, Harmony shows up and tries to bite Willow. "Harmony has a boyfried, must be the most tolerant guy in the world!" All you see is Spike turn around. He digs up Sunnydale looking for the Gem Of Amara, Buffy takes it away from him and Oz brings it to LA. Fear, Itself: 9.5/10 Hallowe'en time again! Everything becomes real. "Destroying the mark itself," Buffy destroys it, "is not one of the ways, and will bring forth the demon itself!" At the end, "I should have translated the text!" Buffy "What does it say?" "Actual size!" Beer Bad: 8/10 Worst episode, Willow tricks Parker! Buffy becomes cavemanish! Wild At Heart: 10/10 Oz kills Veruca, and then leaves Willow to figure out how to control the wolf inside him. The Initiative: 9.5/10 Find out about military guys and Riley's one of them. Spike gets a chip installed into his brain, tries to bite Willow, but can't! Pangs: 9.5/10 Angel visits Sunnydale, stays out of Buffy's site! "It was just like old times!" Xander, "Yah, especially with Angel being here and all!" "Oops!" Something Blue: 10/10 Willow casts a spell that makes Giles blind, Buffy/Spike get married, and Xander get chased by demons, one of the seasons best! Hush: 10/10 Emmy nominated episode! Their voices are captured, silent episode, funny as ..., one of the best! Doomed: 10/10 "It's the end of the world!" "Not again!" Demons try to open the hellmouth, they are the sacrifices. Also, Spike's great lines! A New Man: 9.5/10 Giles gets an visit from an old friend, Ethan Rayne! The I in Team: 9.5/10 Pro. Walsh tries to kill Buffy by trapping her with 2 demons and a faulty weapon. "Mommy!" Goodbye Iowa: 9.5/10 Adam kills Pro. Walsh and walks out into the light! Part demon/man/machine! This Year's Girl: 10/10 Just when everything was looking like it couldn't get worse, well, surprise! All we see is a battle between the slayers, Faith gets out from the grave then her eyes open. Faith gets a device left by the Mayor! She uses at the end. Joyce, "Buffy, are you sure your okay!" She hesitates for a second, "Five by five!" Who Are You?: 10/10 Now, Buffy has been captured by the police and Faith is having all sorts of fun in Buffy's body. She later is about to leave then sees that vampires are attacking at a church, so she continues to save them. Only, to find that Willow/Tara have found a way to switch them back. And, Hello Buffy! Favourite episode of all time! Superstar: 9.5/10 Jonathan world, need I say more! Where the Wild Things Are: 8.5/10 Buffy and Riley can't get enough of each, but when their battery runs out, their dead! In other words, when their to tired, they'll die! New Moon Rising: 9.5/10 Welcome back Oz!! He said he would find a way to control the wolf and he did, but there's one problem, Tara! The Yoko Factor: 9.5/10 Angel visits, and like I said, beats the ... out of Riley. Good job!! Spike seperates the group, Riley joins Adam! Primeval: 10/10 The final battle, Uber Buffy kills Adam! Riley gets the chip out of himself! Restless: 10/10 Excellent episode, first slayer attempts to kill the original four(Willow/Xander/Giles/Buffy) in their dreams! Special Features: 10/10 Half an hour long overview of the season, about that anyway, biographies, photo gallery and looks at Spike and Oz, and more. Buy it today!! Best selling season so far, don't know why!

Summary: Reformed Season 4 lover
Review: When I was watching this when it aired, I particulary didn't enjoy it for some reason or another. But As I sit through watching the dvd I am actually surprised that I don't dislike it as much as I did when it first aired. There where a lot of outstanding episodes in this series of course 'Hush' and New Moon Rising are my favorites even Beer Bad wasn't so bad at all.
Not one of the best seasons out there bec. I'm still partial to
s2,s3 and s5 but still worth a look and Joss and company are always to qoute my favorite character 'bloody brilliant'

Summary: the forth year of fun for Buffy
Review: I really in joy this show and was very sad to see it go. I get to relive my favorite moments with Buffy and the scoobie gang know that the forth season is out to own. My only real problem with the box set is that that special features arn't all that great. I would have liked to seen more from behind the camra. Maybe even a preview for the next season. How ever i love this show so much i can look past the fact there arn't any reel cool special freatures. The only thing that sucked about this dvd is that it ended and know i have to wait for season five. But all in all i loved this boxset and the idea that soon i will own every episode of Buffy makes me so happy i could turn to dust.

Summary: An excellent boxset to an excellent series
Review: This is an excellent season. Many people have said that this was the worst season,(I agree the worst compared to 3,2,& 1 but still brilliant) I have no idea what they are talking about. Yes, there are some weird episodes (Beer Bad, Where the Wild Things Are), But there are the high points (The Initiative, This years girl & Who are You?, Restless, and everyones favorite, Hush.) I stopped watching the show this season, I had seen every episode of the 3 previous seasons. Bufy I didnt like all of the witchcraft and sex so i seldom watched this season. Being new to some of it I thought it was excellent. The episodes are unbelievably cool. My personal fav is "The Initative" it is the funniest episode of Buffy in my opinion. I love the foreshadowing of "Restless" and the retelling of Fairh in "This Years Girl" and "Who Are You?". I think people didnt like this season bacause it srays from the core. With all of the other seasons it was routine to have a big bad and then have a 2-part finale and kill it. You really have no clue what the big bad is until like episode 9. Viewers are felt lost but are quickly regained but then to be lost again with episodes that stray from the point (The faith 2-parter, Superstar) We get no info on Adam during these episodes. The Special Features on the other hand are great also. Being a Special Features Junkie I love them. There are commentaries, Interviews, Featurettes, scripts, a still gallery, and more. I love it! Overall I love this season my fav is still 3 though.. I would have given it a 4 1/2 stars but they didnt have it so i rounded up. I completely recommend this set.

Summary: Buffy Takes Some Initiative
Review: Having survived High School and the Mayor's evil plot, Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar)and the gang find themselves adjusting to change. Buffy finds life very different without Angel (David Boreanez)and Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) around. Xander (Nicholas Brendon)decides college isn't for him. Willow (Alyson Hannigan) gets a little further into developing her powers as a witch. She and Oz (Seth Green) fall out of love. Giles (Anthony Stewart Head)is jobless and rather enjoying his new found freedom Enemies and unlikely allies also return as well. Badboy Vamp Spike (James Marsters) returns to make Buffy's life a living hell; While rougue slayer Faith (Eliza Dushku) wakes from her coma for a clever two parter Willow meets a fellow witch named Tara (Amber Benson)and former demon Anya (Emma Caufield)is now a member of the "Scooby Gang". There are recurring plotlines throughout the entire season, and as usual, all things in Sunnydale don't stay quiet for long. One of Buffy's college professors (Lindsay Crouse) and her hunky teaching assistant (Marc Blucas) turn out to be hiding one heck of a secret. Show Creator Joss Wheddon and his team do some amazing work here, particularlily with what they accomplish in the Emmy nominated "Hush", and the season long character arc for Spike. It is both interesting and very funny, in what they turn him into. The quality does not really suffer. Sure, there are a few misteps-as always-like Frankenstien-esque monster thing, I just couldn't get get into that arc at all, until it was almost done. Still, the season was nearly as good as season three anyway. The season 4, six disc DVD box set gets higher points for some standout extras. Six episodes in the set, have audio commentaries. That is the most for any Buffy box set so far. The best of those can be found on "Hush" and "Wild At Heart",featuring the always entertaing Seth Green, as Oz takes center stage. There are 5 featurettes that cover various aspects of the season or the show in general. All of this is slightly above average-only because the stuff is a bit more meaty than usual. Cast Bios, photo galleries, and a few episode scripts top it all off. As I said though, the commentaries are the best extras, especially if you are a fan of the series. Considering that Wheddon had to worry about getting the Angel spin off going, at the same time as season 4, I think things turned out great. The set is highly recommended

Summary: Another Awesome Season
Review: OK, the Initiative was a big "HUH?" And Adam didn't have much to do. But the season was amazing in spite of that. And I'm not going to defend Riley, but rather I'm defending the show's writers for creating the situation involving Riley, who is a little whiney, a little insecure, and kinda needy - in short, a less than terrific boyfriend choice for Buffy. But as a character in this show, as someone for whom Buffy's save-the-world stuff is a problem, it's inspired. People have lulls in their life, where they're tackling sometimes less glamorous or flashy problems - Season 4 was that at times, but it's absolutely essential in the series arc.

Summary: Another Strong Season, and 30+ hours of escapism
Review: Obviously, as stated in other review, Buffy Season 4 has it's ups and downs, but is a very strong offering. Several Episodes are very well done including issues of relationships in Fear the Light, questions of perspective in Superstar, and spectacular vision in Hush. The book "The Philosophy of Buffy" really gets its strongest material from Season Four. The writing is smart and entertaining, and for a series set in College is is remarkably enjoyable for all ages (above 12... Some of this is *scary*).
But perhaps the best reason to purchase this is that for about $..., you get 30+ hours of great DVDs. It's a complete weekend of viewing, or a couple weeks for those of us with jobs. The value is spectacular. There are cast and director commentary, lots of extras, and a very detailed chapter selection for each episode.
I can't imagine a better value, for the price of a couple of DVD's, you get four times as much viewing, and it is all great stuff! Apart from the Emmy this season won, it won a large number of science fiction and fan awards, and shows what a series that comes of age can provide.

Summary: Fourth Season still a winner despite the changes!
Review: If you've made it this far in the BUFFY saga you are probably already a fan! Seasons 1,2 and 3 are really top-notch, and this one is interesting. Many people criticize it as a transitional season where they had to figure out what to do with Buffy as she and the Scooby gang moved on to higher learning. Humor does not seem to be lacking as some would suggest. Harmony, Johnathan, and some really crazy funny episodes seal that deal early on. We have the return of Spike! A cameo from Faith and Angel, and even one from Druscilla. There were some lows, but on the whole it was still a strong show with interesting characters. And I think the season finale was wonderful with each member of the team really playing a role for once in the vanquishing of the Big Bad - a terminator half-demon named Adam. And of course you have the excellent silent episode HUSH that almost makes up for anything you find lacking in some of the other episodes. The DVD is full-frame, and there is even a note from Joss Wheedon saying that is the way it was shot and should be seen. Odd because other regions list the show presented in widescreen on their releases, but in the end ... this is how the episodes were shown. Menus mirror the third season. You get a montage of action, and then a still shot of a character with the episodes around them. Featurettes this time out concentrate on HUSH, sets, Spike, music, and Oz. You get a SEASON 4 featurette with spoilers, and more commentaries this time out! One featuring Seth Green, and one imperative one for RESTLESS from Joss himself. Basically this set reminds me of Season 3 in quality and presentation. No meandering menus like season 2, or simple ones like the first. For fans it's a must-have, and you probably own it already. For the unitiated it may be one you want to check out the first disc before purchasing. But Buffy rocks any way you can get her!

Summary: ~*BUFFYSEASON4ISTHEBEST!*~
Review: This, I think is by far the best season of Buffy that Joss Whedon has put out. It has the introduction of many new Characters (Tara, Riley) and it includes the almost all-silent episode "Hush" which was nominated for an Emmy. I own the all of the Buffy DVDs that have come out, and this is definetely my favorite. BUY THIS DVD NOW!!!
Okay, wait... I lied... I don't own all of the DVD's because I myself, have no money. But if YOU do, BUY THEE!
