Summary: TRY IT, IT'S GOOD
Review: I won't tell you which season I prefer, or who my favorite characters are. What I will tell you is that after you watch Buffy for a prolonged period of time, all of that kind of stuff starts to melt away. The characters become real people and the episodes become the contexts in which these people exist. If you allow yourself to spend time within this context, you will quickly grow to care about it and take comfort in it. If you do not, you will mock the title and miss a little something special for your ignorance. Clearly I would encourage spending the time, or else several of the five stars that I have given this item wouldn't be there.Watch "Bad Girls" for a strong introduction to the world of Buffy and to the seasonal storyline. Watch "The Wish" only after you care enough about the characters to really get something out of it (or you'll be cheating yourself). And watch "Doppelgangland" only after you watch "The Wish" because it's a sequel. Other than that, my suggestion is to wade in and not to close your mind so thouroughly that you miss what you're taking part in.

Summary: A super TV series!!
Review: This show is probably the best written and best acted TV series I have seen. I have seen every episode of it, in now it's 7th and final season. You can go back to the beginning and see how it all began. The characters are unforgettable, their dialog is beautifully written, and personalities are well defined unique to each one. One can enjoy the one liners especially from Xander, Buffy, and Faith. It is truly hilarious on one side, yet can switch instantly to touching and serious in the blink of an eye. I recommend this DVD set to anyone, and the other seasons available as well. I already own the first three seasons, and I plan to buy season four when it is released.

Summary: Buffy at its Best
Review: I may be preaching to the choir here, but this is was the best season of Buffy. And with the third DVD set released, they do seem to be getting better with more extra features. Before I start my review of the season, I would like to give a short review of the show. I must admit that I was not there from the beginning because I thought that it was the same kind of ¡§teen¡¨ show that the WB is famous for. I became hooked during the second season and have never looked back. It does have a cast of teenagers and the token adults to keep things a tad realistic, but the characters and story have such depth, that it becomes more than a teen drama. The writing is where it all starts, then with the acting and directing, everything falls into place. As for season 3, the writing is immaculate. The wit and drama meld into beautiful iron cast of pure entertainment. But let's not make Buffy out to be something else. It is only a TV show meant to entertain, and this season does not disappoint. I think that the introduction of Faith and Mayor as the new nemesis brought this show to it's peak. (not that the other seasons were bad because they were very good, but compared to season 3, they all fall a little short) Faith ¡§the vampire slayer¡¨ was like the anti-Buffy and she was able to add a new mixture of sexuality, complexity and unpredictability to the cast. With the main crew established in their roles, it was hard to create drama within the group aside from resident evil in town or Angel. Faith brought that new spark that made the other characters reflective and she pushed them to made changes and decisions that made for a great story. We see how Xander and Willow evolved and explored a new roles within the group. Now as far as big evils are concerned, I think that next to evil Angel, the Mayor was the best bad guy. He had wit and charm that was second to none. The fact that he was human (or demon) to start made his actions more mysterious and significant. And the fact that he employs Faith and Angel during his stay made for some grand conflicts. Now Buffy is a cult favorite and I'm not sure how many new fans will be won by reading these reviews, so I suggest those who are on the fence about the show, please check out an old episode on TV. Try to see through that teen"esque" veneer and see some good characters and great writing.

Summary: Good to Evil, You Gotta Love It
Review: The third season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is definately one of the better seasons. Faith (Eliza Dashku) brings a whole new flare to the show in this season. The season starts out like any other season basically,kill a few demons here and there, blah blah blah. Then Faith comes. She brings attitude and spunk to the show, not that it didn't have it before, but she adds some to it. Faith starts out helping Buffy and the Scoobies on there Demon hunting, then as the show progresses Faith gets a more and more "Evil" the more the show goes on the darker it gets until Faith is then working for the mayor of Sunnydale. Who is really EVIL. I would recomend this season to anyone, as well as the first season and secons. I am really looking forward to the fourth season coming out on DVD,YAY! lol

Review: And they are correct! Angel Season 1 was fantastic! If you ever watched any episodes of Angel, and enjoyed them, you will enjoy Season 1.

Summary: It's Getting Much Better
Review: As I've stated in previous reviews, you can't say much about the season. Again, it's a classic. Though, had I been Joss, I would have left Buffy in LA longer than one episode and explored the dynamic of her being cut off from all her support but still fighting demons. Other than that, the season has a lot going for it for several reasons. First, there is an edginess to both Buffy and Faith (the new slayer) as both of them flirt with the dark side. Second, the relationship between Buffy and Angel is powerful, and again is what really carries the season forward. Its really weird that Buffy, after Angel returns from the dead, toys with the idea of leaving him and then gets horribly upset when he leaves her. Women. Finally, the season has a lot of character development, especially the episodes Bad Girls, Consequences, and The Prom. The relationship between Faith and the Mayor, and Buffy to her supporting cast, and the supporting casts internal development, round out a really quite nice package. Other episodes that deserve honorable mention are The Wish, where Cordelila wishes for a world without Buffy (and Willow and Xander are Vampire lovers); Amends, where Angel struggles with all his past misdeeds at Christmas, including Jenny Calendar, who want Angel to kill Buffy (and is somehow linked to Season 7, though I'm not sure yet); and Lovers Walk, if for nothing else to see a humorous side to Spike as he talks about his relationship problems with Drusilla to Joyce (Buffy's mom) and teases Angel, who Joyce thinks is still evil.
Having said my peace about that, time to move on to the really important stuff: what's on the disc. As with the other two DVDs, this is the complete third season, meaning you get every episode, and not just the "important" ones as on the videos. The transitions are much smoother, and the animation is played down, much to my delight. The interviews with Joss are great, except for one thing: they are sprinkled liberally over the disc and not put in one central location. The problem with that is you watch an interview and if you haven't seen the season yet (I hadn't) then the surprise is ruined for you. One big disappointment from the last season is that the special features were once again limited to cast and crew interviews. There weren't any commercials, either for Buffy or the new Angel series, and most of the interviews were with Joss and not the cast.
On the whole, Mutant Enemy and Fox have produced another first class TV season on disc for our repetitive viewing pleasure. I only gave it four stars because there is so much more that could be done for the special features, but you can't fault the actors or the show itself; that's all first class material.

Summary: Great season
Review: I'm a new Buffy fun, but I've been able to catch up quite quickly due to the DVDs. The third season was great! I would have appreciated more special features, though. As it is they have a couple of alternative scripts (who cares!), a few episodes commented by the writer or director (not that interesting) and a long interview with writers/directors intercepted throughout the different chapters. Interesting but I would have wanted more. Amazon has this set at a great price, though.

Summary: Enter Faith and be blown away...
Review: This season was awesome. I like how the addition of Faith changed the tone of the show. As noted elsewhere, Faith was clearly Buffy's alterego, and these two characters performed well. A must have for Buffy fans. Prior seasons may drag a bit, so, buy this season first if you like Buffy, but are not sure about making a purchase.

Summary: THE BEST!! This is it. BEST. SEASON. EVER.
Review: The greatness of Buffy's Season Three can be summed up in one word: FAITH This is not just Buffy's best season, but arguably the best season of any TV series. After two years, everything about the regular characters was in place and running at peak performance. The addition of Faith (So Bad and SO SEXY!) just made it that much better.
