Summary: Best Buffy Season Yet
Review: While last season's musical episode, "Once More With Feeling", has to be the best Buffy episode bar none. As a whole season and story arc, season three with the introduction of Faith and the Mayor is the most complete, well written and just enthralling television. (Joss should have submitted Graduation Day for review.) I can see the time... begin once this set is released because watching all the episodes back to back to back without commercials is going to kill productivity for me. Eliza Dushku is written to be a far more interesting slayer than Bianca Lawson ever was, albeit a bit twisted, but nonetheless interesting.Just for fun, you should watch this set with the Sunnydale Yearbook within arms reach. Infinitely more interesting with a sarcastic raspberry thrown in for good measure.

Summary: Faith, hope and a trick - My favorite season of Buffy...
Review: While many people will site season 2 of Buffy as the finest season the show has ever produced and believe me, I'm nearly inclined to agree. With absolutely brilliant episodes like "Becoming"(a two part episode that epitomizes the finest television can produce), it's hard to deny so. However, I still have to give this season the nudge. This is for one reason and that reason goes by the name of Faith, played oh so brilliantly by the one and only Eliza Dushku. Ignoring the undeniable fact that Eliza Dushku is one of the hottest chicks on the face of the earth, her portrayal of evil vampire slayer Faith brings so much to this season that it can barely be put into words. She's evil, psychotic, totally out of control and unpredictable, yet somehow you can't help but have a fondness for her. You can't help but cheer for her when she smacks Buffy around. This is a testament to Eliza's astounding charm and acting ability. Watching her and Buffy team up and go fists to fists through out the season is great fun that never gets tired or boring. And believe me, they do quite a bit of both. It is true that there isn't any particular episode this season that can live up the greatness of season 2 episodes such as "Becoming" or "Passion" or even "Prophecy Girl" from season 1. However this season may be the only one without a single genuine dud in it. Every episode is consistently well written and entertaining with never a dull moment. One of my favorites is "The Zeppo." It's an incredibly fun episode where the always underachieving Xander finally gets to be the hero of the day. I love it and I know you will too. The Mayor is a great villian(or "BIG BAD" in the buffy 'verse) and his antics are only enhanced later on with the addition of a second partner in crime(avoiding spoilers here). There's a great story arc involving Xander/Cordelia and Oz/Willow and some messing around with other partners behind peoples backs. Let's just say this season came the closest to ever providing a genuine relationship between two of those people(not gonna use specific names because of spoilers). This is a relationship that's still desired by fans even today. The only reason I gave this DVD set 4 stars instead of 5 is because like the other Buffy box sets, the bonus materials aren't what they could be, but they're still sufficient enough to warrant a purchase. Where else are you going to get commentary by
Joss Whedon? And you can't beat the convenience of being able to watch any episode(COMMERCIAL FREE!) you like at any time you like with the pristine digital picture and sound that only DVD can provide. Plus you'll have the luxary of knowing if 20 or 30 years from now Buffy is no longer running re-runs on tv, you'll still be able to whip out this set and it will still look and sound as good as the day you bought it. So pre-order this set right now. And if you haven't bought the season 1 and 2 sets yet, go pick them up as well. It's well worth the money. Buffy is truly one of the greatest tv shows of all time and deserves no less than a neat little DVD collection like this to be viewed with. Happy slaying!

Summary: 22 hours of pure excellence? sign me in!
Review: Following the other two (awesome) previously released dvd's comes this amazing season of Buffy.This is the season that sets the greatness of the show.The 3rd season features the adventures of Buffy, Willow, Xander,Giles,Angel, Cordelia, and Oz,oh and theres that episode with Spike, and those episodes with Anya.I mean what more could you ask! The best episodes would be !"Lovers Walk", the one where Spike comes back and Willow and Xander are BUSTED kissing each other so their relationships with Oz and Cordelia are broken."The wish", the one where Cordelia wishes Buffy would never had come to Sunnydale and Anya grants her the wish. "Doppelgangland" the one where Vampire Willow from "the wish" episode reality comes to normal reality. And of course the two part season finale "Graduation day parts 1 and 2" In the end this a great season of Buffy that every true fan
(and everyone else) should check out.

Summary: Buffy stakes her claim
Review: I own the first two disc sets of Buffy and they are great. I would recomend them to anyone. I can't wait for the rest of the season's to be released. I hope the show stays on the air after the 7th season it just seems to keep getting better.

Summary: Great series to watch, even when the stories are uneven
Review: I've always liked this series, third season is no exception, with the generally good writing, interesting plots and characters, even the sometimes peculiar humor. The third season introduces Faith as the slayer called to duty after Kendra was killed by Drusilla. She comes to Sunnydale after her watcher is killed and is seen to be totally unlike Buffy. I thought Eliza Dushku did a wonderful portrayal as a slayer from the wrong side of town, but she was so badly used in this season. In some episodes Faith isn't even mentioned, in others she wants to be good, or sometimes bad,later on she chucks the good part for good and joins forces with evil demon/Mayor Wilkins. I can't remeber the name of the episode where the woman watcher comes to town and uses Faith in her quest to get that weapon, but it is one of the better episodes. Later on in another episode Faith poisons Angel to help the mayor, since slayer blood is an antidote Buffy decides to contribute some, Faith's. Their battle is one of the best fights I've seen in the entire series and the way Faith survives Buffy's knife wound and the fall from the building into the truck bed is a great testimony to the strength of a slayer (even if she does end up in a coma that lasts into 4th season)There's a lot of good stuff here, add it to your collection.

Summary: Have Faith
Review: Okay, I have to admit that I was one of the ones who rated Season 2 as the best season, dispite a few stinkers, but it also makes up for it with the near destruction of Spike and his return to glory, but on the other side, this season runs an extremely close second, with the appearance of the beautiful but deadly rogue slayer, Faith, and some pretty nice looking special effects, including the destruction of Sunnydale High. Many of the characters had their beginnings here, including of Course Faith, her watcher Wesley (who later becomes a rogue demon hunter in the Angel series) and the gradual re-working of Cordelia, again setting her up for Angel. Of course, with them setting up to work out Cordelia, they had to introduce Anya, the vengeance demon who gets trapped in our reality after she abuses her powers. All in all, a very good season.

Summary: Based on Region 2 DVD set
Review: There are tons of reviews already, and the product isn't even available! Strangely, they sell Buffy DVD's in England long before they are available here - who knows why. I wonder if the featurettes will be the same in the US edition or not? Anyway, based on the region 2 set I have, I thought the featurettes and commentaries weren't as good as what came with season 2. Also, I thought the episodes were a bit better in season 2. But don't get me wrong, season 3 was nearly as good. I'd say that in the first few episodes of season 3 I was a little disappointed, but when the Faith story line got going strong, it got better. And while I really like the Buffy-Angel love tragedy, I will say that it did get a bit redundant: first they were breaking up, then they're not, then they're breaking up again, etc.

Summary: Highly recommended!
Review: This is, by far, the best season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer ever. If you've never watched the show before, I KNOW that you will love it...I would recommend buying and watching the first two seasons before deciding to buy this set; it would make watching this a lot easier to comprehend. I'm going to keep this review short because countless other reviewers have already provided episode summaries. It's impossible for me to choose a favorite episode in this season; they are all so well written and acted. Perhaps the only "dud" would be the second episode, "Dead Man's Party", though that episode had quite a few memorable moments as well. A HIGHLY recommended buy! (especially on Amazon.com...this retails at around 50-60 dollars, depending on where you shop for DVDs)
