Advantages: Fantastic ending Disadvantages: Bit depressing in the middle
...is about a girl called Buffy who is the 'chosen one' with the powers to fight vampires and demons. She lives in Sunnydale, a fictional town which is also the 'hellmouth' and attracts all kinds of nasty evil things. This review is for season 5 of this hit (and cult) tv show, considered to be one of its best.
The main characters
Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar): This season is really pivotal for Buffy. The introduction of Dawn, her sister/key changes ... ...very confusing development seeing as Buffy doesn't have a sister, yet noone seems to have noticed that Dawn isnt supposed to be there. In fact she is 'the key' an ancient energy created to open the gates between dimensions. Glory wants this key and so monks hid it by putting it in human form and sending it to Buffy, altering everyone's memories to think she'd always been there. Dawn is very much the bratty teenager, very annoying, but she does start ...

Advantages: Everything! Disadvantages: none! Or maybe that i didnt want it to end!
...last season, season 5 of Buffy is my favourite.
The addition of Buffy\'s little sister and the reasons for her arriving there are nothing short of amazing!! The ideas from the shows creator Joss Whedon just get better and better, he amazes me more each season!!
The writing is as wonderful as the previous seasons (has wonderfully sad poignant moments and hirlarious moments!)
Buffy has to deal with alot of new supernatural things this season, including ... ...season 4) thankfully she becomes a fully fledged member of the team, and strengthens it further.
Whether you\'ve seen other seasons of Buffy or you\'re new to her, I cant recommend this highly enough! Its probably the best money you\'ll spend on dvds! I know ive got my moneys worth! ...

Advantages: Glory, sexiest villain yet, The most poignant of all seasons, The season finale is a stunner!!! Disadvantages: There is a consecutive three depressing episodes in the middle
If you are already a Buffy fan, and have yet to see this season, you absolutely MUST! This is certainly one of the best season for several reasons, one being that the 'Big Bad' is a god! :O A witty god at that, Glory is truely one of the best villains in the show and is on par with Season 3's 'The Mayor'.
The opening episode "Buffy Vs Dracula features.....you guessed it, Drac himself, after frankenstein monsters and fairytale villains it was only ... ...history. Speaking of emotional......episode 15 "The Body".......if you don't cry at this one you must have a heart of stone! I won't give too much away but an original character shockingly dies, and it hits Buffy HARD!
This season is a must, 5 & 7 are my favourite ...... ...

Advantages: Brilliant season of a brilliant show. Disadvantages: Nothing.
...- this is my favourite Buffy season. This season includes the introduction of mysterious little sister Dawn, and shows key developments in the relationships of the characters, such as Willow and Tara. It also has some of the most defining moments of Buffy, including the wonderful and heart-wrenching episode 'The Body' which has been one of the most memorable episodes to date. We also get more intimate with Spike, (James Marsters) and get to see a ... ...love the bond between sisters Buffy and Dawn, which ultimately leads to my favourite ever BTVS episode 'The Gift' which is the fifth season finale. Featuring a beautiful soundtrack, big snakes, monks, goddesses and moments to make you laugh and cry, this season is definately not to be missed. In my opinion it is well worth the money, and will keep you entertained for hours. ...

Advantages: Same great Buffy Disadvantages: Very downbeat
...5 is my least favourite Buffy season. Buffy's world is even darker than usual. To begin with, she's the only person who seems surprised that she has a sister - Dawn. Buffy and Dawn cope together as their mother becomes ill, but Buffy leaves Riley out in the cold and their relationship begins to falter.
Not only is there no hope for Buffy's mum, but there's a new 'big bad' in town, and she's even tougher than Buffy. It turns out that Glory is a god, ... ...Joyce dead, and Riley gone, Buffy is left to face the truth - there's no way she and the gang can beat Glory. There's only one option left for Buffy to take.
