 - Just OUTSTANDINGI recieved this item extremely fast, and in great shape. Keep up the hard work. Those of us over here in Iraq appreciate it. Rating:  - Buffy's Sixth SeasonSix is my favorite season. Unlike most reviewers I loved the villians in this season. I thought the trio of nerds was more creative than just another rubber monster. Their "evil plots" brought forth humor and creativity with excellent word plays. The acting of the 3 nerds added realistic element, I have known several people like Andrew (creative, wishy washy, approval seeking) and Warren (smooth talker, manipulitive, ego centric) and of course everyone knows a Jonathan, (intelligent, wanting to be taken seriously but only tolerated by the in crowd so his talents could be used.) The "Big Bad" though was the main attraction this season. Until Season Six I never paid much attention to Spike, what with the undeniable chemistry between Buffy & Angel. I had actually stopped watching Buffy after the fourth season because why bother when the heavy hitters were gone (Angel and Faith) I only recently watched seasons 5 through 7. Spikes character grew and changed so interestingly I rented all the episodes of Angel that featured him in it so I could follow his character to the end (and had the excellent suprise of seeing Andrews character morph into a really interesting personna). James Marsters ability to convey an emotion with just a widening of his eye and a hint of a smile or a tear is fantastic. I was deeply moved by his reaction to Buffys resurrection and how subtly he played it. Of the episodes that were tops in this season, ONCE MORE WITH FEELING tops the list (the music was so stuck in my head I had to buy the sountrack CD!) SMASHED, the episode that everyone considers so controversial is saved by Marsters acting, again the fluidity and depth of expression with subtle facial changes is what drew me in. The allegory of the house crumbling was beautiful, poetic. The most useless episode, that still managed to have some meaning (again thanks to Marsters, he gave a brief speech to Buffy worth hearing) was DOUBLE MEAT PALACE. I loved the tie up of the loose end concerning Riley in AS YOU WERE. Normal Again was an excellent episode about choices. All together there were so many plots and subplots that engaged me I bought seasons 4, 5, and 7 (mainly so I could trace the evolving character of Spike). This season is the bestand most worth owning since season 2 (Angel is the draw there and the story lines for all the characters are interesting). When I wear Season 6 out I hope to already own the back up! Rating: - Wonderful! Have you checked out the comic books?I'm a big Buffy and Angel fan, so 5 stars goes without saying. But have you checked out the comic books? Finally season 8 by Joss Whedon! Rating: - As great as everWhat is to talk about? You either love Buffy and the clan or you don't. I of course love it or I wouldn't have purchased the sets. Drama, humor and monsters, what could be better? Rating:  - Buffy Great! DVD Manufacturer BadWell, maybe I souldn't really be writing a review, as the 4 times I had to order this set through Amazon only to find that disc 2 was either a0 not included, or b) so poorly manufactured that it didn't play ay all. I really wanted to watch the seires in order, but I went ahead and watched what I could. Pretty dull season, but then again, early on it was rumored to be the last season. So now as I wait for my 5th replacement, I hope disc to brings some life to a forgetable series that was as forgetable as the character Tara.
