Summary: Expand your collection! You'll love this!
Review: First of all, us Buffy fans have waited since January to get the 2nd season...and it's finally here! All 22 episodes in full-screen, quality, surround sound viewiing! This is what makes Buffy the best show on television today. I won't leave a review on each episode. This DVD is so much better than the 1st season, not that I don't love the first season. When you first put one of the six discs in your DVD player, the Buffy logo comes up, and then you are led into a menu introduction. You are taken through a 3D Sunnydale with the cemetary, statues, gargoyles, and fences. It looks really cool! The menus are set up fantastic too! They are very organized. What impressed me the most was the three 20 minute long featurettes which show you how Buffy is made & how much hard work and creativity go into each and every episode. You also get 4 Art Galleries: screen stills, set blueprints, set pictures, and a monster gallery. They are all great pictures! And the TV spots and trailer are amazing too, a really cool special feature. And the cast/character biographies are great as usual also. The episodes on here that are my favorites are "When She Was Bad" (the season opener that was very emotional and very great season premiere), "Ted" (because it is so evil and it deals with real life issues), "Bad Eggs" (one of my favorite standard episodes), "Suprise" and "Innocence" (because of the tragic occurance of Angel losing his soul because he experienced happiness, very sad), and of course the the two part season finale: "Becoming Part One" and "Becoming Part Two", in which is definetly this season's and possibly the show's greatest episodes ever. Buffy has to make a tragic sacrifice in order to save the world. I won't tell you the end in case you somehow haven't seen it, but this is what television was made for! Collect the Buffy seasons, because television never got better! All 22 of these episodes are classics. Season 2 will make you laugh, cry, smile, and hate. It's all here: drama, comedy... I reccomend this for adults also. Go get this today, because it is definetly worth the money!

Summary: Great show, great season, HORRIBLE TRANSFER
Review: As great as this show is, and with as much time and effort that went into creating dazzling, 3D DVD menus, you would think that 20th Century Fox would have put at least that much effort into making the show itself look good. As it is, the transfer is horrendous, making some spots look far worse than an old VHS. It's a shame. This DVD deserved to look pristine, to match the quality of the content. The poor quality is distracting, and unacceptable. That brings the rating down.

Summary: Buffy Fan
Review: I have been a die-hard Buffy fan since it began in 1997. Season 2 was a really good season. The season shows you how Buffy and Angel's romance developed. You won't want to miss "Becoming, Part 1" and "Becoming, Part 2". Season 2 is also the season when Willow kind of gets over Xander and hooks up with Oz who I wish they would bring back. Seth Green is such a cutie. Anyway, if you have'nt picked up Season 1, do it and if you have'nt picked up Season 2 yet, do it. You won't regret it. I can't wait to add Season 3 to my collection. That season introduces Faith who really gave Buffy a run for her money.

Summary: Best. Television. Show. Ever.
Review: The Second Season DVD of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a vast improvement from Season 1 DVD Set. The animation on the menu's are much much better. With great cemetery action, the extras are so much more better with a bunch of commentary and scripts, interviews with Joss Whedon, segments on Making Buffy monsters and other fun things to watch. Although the extras are all well and good it's the episodes that make this DVD one of the best ever. Season 2 was a jumping off point for Buffy, throwing in more dramatic situations dealing with Angel, Buffy, Willow, Cordelia, Xander, Giles, Spike, Drusilla... the whole gang. Episodes like Innocence, Surprise, Lie to Me, I Only Have Eyes For You, Passion, Becoming Part 1 and 2 are the must sees. Season 2 will definitely make you laugh, cry and scare the heck out of you! So curl up on your couch with a bowl of popcorn and a box of tissues cause you're in for a bumpy ride through Sunnydale and Season 2! Enjoy!

Summary: Great Show, Lousy Presentation
Review: The average review, allegedly of this product, is five stars, but since the reviews came out before the product, these morons have obviously rated the SHOW, not the DVD they're supposed to be reviewing. Yes, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is one of the greatest shows of all time, but this package is a disgrace. Of the dozens of DVDs and videos I have, the DVD package of "Buffy"'s 2nd season has by FAR the worst picture quality. Since one of the biggest advantages to DVD technology is improved visual quality, you'd think Mutant Enemy and 20th Century Fox would at least take the time to clean up the image and give us a decent product. But the picture is so bad (especially on Disc 1) that it is sometimes difficult to follow the action...

Summary: The Most Well Rounded Series in TV History
Review: Drama, comedy, horror, fantasy, action, satire, and romance, all balanced with an effortlessness seen nowhere else in television or film. This is the season where "Buffy" truly hit its stride, deepening its already well-defined characers, expanding its rich mythology, and displaying a post-modern style that allowed the series to comment on lierally any aspect of society, without beating one over the head with pretense, like most "serious" (cop, lawyer, hospital, etc.) dramas on the air. Emotionally complex, psychologically challenging, and (to quote "Entertainment Weekly") "witty and intricate to the point of Shakespearean comedy"...not to mention a heck of a lot of fun. What more could you ask for?

Summary: Awesome baby
Review: Season 2 is the best season ever. This is the season that I first started watching, and was impressed. Lots of great moments, the best ones are everything involving Cordy, and of course the best ep, "Halloween," where we get to see Willow's sexy side - Alyson, what's your workout program like? Wow!

Summary: Got an early peek at this title, and it rocks
Review: I just picked up a copy of this DVD thanks to the error of a local retailer who put it on their shelves four days early and I have to say that it rocks. I am particularly impressed with the animated menus that are different for each episode and the fact that their appears to be a lot more welcome extras with this set. There is also a flyer inside the packaging that lists "Winter 2003" as the release date for the third season - I can't wait. I highly recommend picking up these six discs.

Summary: It changed television forever.
Review: In the fall of 1997, Buffy the Vampire Slayer came back for a second season on the WB, a well-known network of teenage drama and comedy. It was no small event, either, for it was the beginning of a year that, for those paying attention, would change television forever. This mildly popular series had already gained many positive reviews and a growing fan base in the spring of 1997 with its 12 episode long first season. From the start, this show was obviously in a league of its own and fans knew something wild and different was happening. By the time the second season rolled around, the characters were all set up, the themes were all in place, and the quality was all there, just waiting to be put to use. And what followed was one of the best seasons of any television series, ever. When Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar, a prodigy in her generation) came back from vacation in the season premiere "When She Was Bad", things had clearly changed. And they continued to change. Over the course of a year, battles raged, emotions soared, hearts bled, and lives were turned upside down...on screen and off. Simply put, there has never been anything like it. Probably never will be again. The critics all knew it. The fans all knew it. For all those who were paying attention, Buffy the Vampire Slayer reached amazing heights and the best show in television was born. The first season may have been where it started, but the Buffy saga began in the second season. The story arcs are now classic. The season finale was one of the most dramatic and shocking hours of TV, in which I and many others believe was the absolute best hour of television in history. No other series can take the audience on such an amazing ride in the course of an hour. Whenever something happened on the show, it was handled with such skill and such care that the impact of it bled into the lives of those watching. When the episode was over, you didn't get up and go about your business without the aftermath of what happened on your TV playing through your mind and toying with your emotions. Some groundbreaking episodes can make grown men burst into uncontrollable tears. The audience is taken along with Buffy like nothing else. In the end, no other TV series ever looks the same. You can't watch any other show without comparing it to Buffy. No other show can match it. After seeing this, all other TV becomes extremely blase, so incredibly unappealing. If you want a taste of something I can't even put into words here, if you want to watch a show that will reach you on all levels and change the way you see TV, then this is the series for you. You won't ever find anything else like it.
