Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Not the best of buffy! Comment: I found this series rather disappointing. Whilst the first 3 (especially the 3rd season) were all tremendous and series 4 was thoroughly enjoyable this one is much darker. As a personal preference I like a big dollop of humour in buffy and in this season there's a distinct lack of humour. Some of the episodes are great but I found Dawn so irritating in this that she marred a great deal of it and the misery of Joyce Summers' death, although portrayed very well (particularly interesting is listening to Joss Whedon's commentary), made for a rather dismal season. Glory is a great villain and Spike's character is really starting to develope but it lacks the sparkle, fun and much of the shock factor of previous seasons. Customer Rating: Summary: Buffy gets dark...and with some more great episodes!!!!! Comment: season 5 takes a different turn from the 4th(fantastic)season and creates a different mood for all our favourite characters. Buffy vs Dracula-5/5-Buffy faces the dark lord of them all. Real Me-4/5-focused on Dawn as we see things from her perspective. The Replacement*-5/5-Classic...two Xanders!!! Out of my mind-3/5 no place like home-5/5-HEEEEEEEERES Glory!!! Family*-5/5-amazed by how great this episode is...watch it!! Fool for love*-5/5-Buffy explores the deaths of previous slayers with the aid of Spike. Shadow-4.5/5-mainly character driven and again its very good. Listen to Fear-4.5/5-fantastic performance by Kristine Sutherland and Sarah(as always). Into the Woods-5/5-goodbye Riley. Triangle*-5/5-classic Anya/Willow focused episode that is just plain hilarious. Checkpoint-4.5/5-the council come to town. Blood Ties-5/5-Dawn discovers what she really is and the pace gets faster in a truly great episode!!!!!!! Crushed*-5/5-sheer brilliance,Spike is torn between Buffy,Dru,and Harmony...everyone must watch this. Made to love You-3/5-quite good...my god what a way to conclude an episode. The Body**-5/5-sheer brilliance with some memorable scenes and absolutely no soundtrack to make it as unsettling and upsetting as possible...a spectacle. Forever-3/5-Dawn deals with her grief. Intervention*-5/5-Sarah plays a dual role as Buffybot a truely great creation and a truly great episode that provides us with humour and more to add to the main plot. Tough Love-5/5-Willow takes on Glory. Spiral-5/5-fabulous stunt sequences and a great story. Weight of the world-5/5-Willow goes inside Buffy's mind. The Gift**-5+/5-the most amazing finale ever!!!emotion,script,soundtrack...everything...perfect episode and definately one of the best ever(theres so many to choose from)the scoobies take on Glory as all Hell pours out onto the planet...LOVE IT!!!the most stunning and emotional conclusions to date!!!!! BUY SEASON 5 now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: irritating and neurotic Comment: The worst season of all. While I gave 5 stars to the whole, this one hardly deserves even 3. The kid sister Dawn is a major irritation and - unfortunately - will continue to plague the series till the end. The whole team becomes domestic, neurotic and so immersed in their family problems that is is wonder they even notice there are some baddies around. Boring and very irritating. Customer Rating: Summary: PURE GOLD! Comment: This season was one of my favourites! I must of watched it about 5 times already and I only got it 2 weeks ago! This would be a great Buffy season to get. The enemy in this season is great, the acting and script is really good, It is a 100% must watcher to any Buffy fans! Customer Rating: Summary: Second best season. Comment: I didn;t enjoy Season 5 when I saw it on tv but when I rewatched it on dvd, I loved it. All the little niggles of Season 4 are gone. Clare Kramer as the Big Bad Glory is brilliant, it's bye bye to Marc Blucas as Riley, Amber Benson and James Marsters (Tara and Spike) become much more involved and finally, some stuff for Giles and Xander to do! The biggest addition to the show is Michelle Trachtenberg as Dawn, Buffy's little sister. I wasn't sure if this storyline was going to work and Michelle Trachtenberg is a little annoying as Dawn this season but all in all it really does freshen up the show and add to the dynamic. Gellar and Trachtenberg play very well against each other. There are some great episodes here, we finally get a Xander centic episode (first since season 3!) in The Replacement and he pulls it off very nicely! Spike's back story is brilliantly filled out in Fool For Love (which ties in to Angel episode Darla as well!). Buffy's Mum dies in 'The Body' and my hat goes off to everyone in that episode. All the case do a wonderful job at portaying the grief and emotion of the situation. Finally, the last episode 'The Gift' is one of the best Buffy episodes ever. I hated it when I first saw it but after watching ot again, it is astonishing. A fitting end to a fabtastic season. More Reviews
