Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2 (New Edition)
ReviewsLove it Review date: 2008-02-10 Rating: 10 out of 10 I love Buffys and vampires fascinate me. I would still have loved this even more if there would have been more Angel. I cried so much after the last episode from the 2nd season. I think it's wrong that Buffy and Angel can't be together. They are so cute with each other. I like the 2nd season the best while they spend so much time together. After Angel loses his soul things start to get a bit too dark. The last episode of this season is still too sad. After that I actually hated Buffy for a while, not anymore though. :) Close to its best Review date: 2008-01-13 Rating: 10 out of 10 Just to get it out of the way early on, I agree totally that this is an amazing series, one of the show's best runs, but I have a minor preference for the third series, as this season loses a few points in my book with a few weak and/or forgettable stand-alone episodes; the likes of Some Assembly Required, Ted and Bad Eggs just don't really do much for me, perhaps because the main arc of this series is so good that I feel like they're a bit of a waste of time (although having said that, the plot-heavy fourth season of Angel perhaps shows that it's not such a bad idea after all) - rambling a bit now, but my point is that if you're going to take time out from such an engaging plotline, then the stand-alones have to be worth it, and in this series (unlike 3) they're not always up to the mark. Having thus dealt with what is probably this season's only real flaw, and a minor one at that, on to the numerous plus-points. For a start we meet Spike for the first time (in School Hard, one of the best episodes in the series), obviously one of the greatest creations in television history, and one of those characters who's always good value for money even when the show itself isn't exactly on a high (see some of the later seasons). The main arc of the season, primarily to do with Angel (don't want to give too much away of course, though most people have probably seen it by now and are going to be buying this to see it all again) is one of the show's best, in fact probably the no.1, with the two-part Becoming one of the best season finales (along with series 3's Graduation Day Pt.I&II). This series also features Oz's first appearances, one of my favourite characters, and so I think it's fair to say that this season features what could probably be considered the "classic" lineup of both the Scoobies and their adversaries (not that later additions like Anya aren't good too). Anyway, I think the fact that no one has, at time of writing, given this boxset less than 5 stars says a lot, and it's a fair rating: not every episode is absolute gold (but then there aren't many seasons of anything that you could give 100%), but as a whole this is one of the best seasons of Buffy or indeed any show (I might also take this opportunity to clarify an earlier comment by saying that I do really like Angel season 4, it's just a bit too centred on the main arc is all). Buffy's Best Season Review date: 2007-11-28 Rating: 10 out of 10 This is, without doubt, the best season of Buffy. The writing, acting and most of all the ideas are still fresh. I'm not going to tell you too much about it here because I don't want to spoil it. Be careful about reading some of the reviews below because there are spoilers in them, and if you haven't seen it yet you won't want to know what happens. Suffice to say that this is in turn funny, moving, dramatic, action-packed, frightening, wicked and wise. It is without doubt worth every penny. I have watched it several times and enjoyed it every time. I think I need a hug. 1 of the Best Buffy seasons Review date: 2007-11-05 Rating: 10 out of 10 This is one of my favorite seasons. Its dark and edgy and lots of humour with the arrival of Spike and Drusilla. We also see a breaking point of the Love/hate relationship between Buffy and Angel and the growing attraction between Cordy and Xander. Touching moments as the gang cope with the loss of a loved one. One of the best episodes from this season has to Halloween where we see a role reversal where Buffy plays the damsel in distress, Willow a ghost, Xander a hero, and cordelia being her usual self. The touching episode would have to be passion - where we see Angels passion for tormenting Buffy, and the revelation that Jenny Calender knew of Angel's demise when Buffy and Angel shared their moment of happiness. The sombre music after Jenny dies and where Giles admits that he has never loved anyone like her before which then sets Buffy on a mission to finally take out Angel. I just Love this season full stop and I could go on and on and say Buffy and Angel forvever!!!!
