    I know that many long time fans of Buffy found that season four started a down-hill run for the show, to which I agree. I also acknowledge that many fans did not enjoy Riley as Buffy’s love; however, to that I completely disagree. Riley was the one Buffy should have never let go. I hated some of the turns that Josh did with his character in season five, and was sad to see him go. The worst villan, ever, was Glory. I find it hard to believe that she was voted so popular by fans. The actress was terrible, her lines delivered blandly, without real emotions. She was more of a super model, then a super villan. I wanted to see more developement of Willow and Tara’s relationship, instead of the dull witted hum-drum that was Xander and Anya. However, there were some great moments, such the acclaimed episode, The Body. Although I’m not a big fan of Anya, her frustration and sadness in the episode reflected ours as fans. Buffy seemed truly alone in season five, even though she was surrounded by people who loved her. I believe Josh wanted her to be seperate, apart from everyone around her. Her volunerability was best expressed as she waited by Joyce’s grave until sunset, and Angel appears and encloses her hand with his. It was truly a touching moment. I enjoyed the end episodes, but I thought that Buffy going to shock-land, and Willow having to retrieve her was a bit much. Even Buffy can only have so much angst.

    i thought season 5 was really bad compared to seasons 1,2, and 3 of buffy which i think are the best seasons out of all of the seasons. i thought it was stupid that they put riley in this season whihc i think was a terrible boyfriend to buffy, i think in my opinion, Angel should have stayed with buffy and i know was her true love, not Riley. the only episodes i like was maybe when buffy was fighting dracula. and it it disgusting how spike falls in “love” in with buffy and goes obsessed with her which is disgusting because of how he got a guy to create an robot which looked exactly like her. most of the episodes were too boring and Glory, compared to other villains such as The Mayor, The Master, and Angelus was not even scary looking at all. as for the upcoming seasons of buffy, some of the episodes gets a little bit more sexual than usual for buffy and spike and i thought some of the scenes between them were nasty even for prime time. not the best season in my opinion

    For all you Buffy fans out there, don’t buy this. The studio did a rush job on the package, and the sound and video are awful!!!!!

  4. Now I am a huge Buffy fan but this season was VERY DISSAPOINTING. First of all Dawn’s character should have been killed off. It was not enjoyable watching the show with her in it, but I didn’t want to miss anything that would be in any later episodes or seasons, so I forced myself to watch it. I know Miss Trachtenberg really wanted to be on the show but I hope she knows she really ruined it. Even though Sarah is a good actress she couldn’t pull off that she loved Dawn so much she would sacrifice herself instead of letting Dawn jump to her death at the end. Dawn has nothing to contribute to the world, she is worthless and useless and has a piss poor attitude. Nothing but grief with that child. The writers and Joss Whedon were so off with the story line. The Glory storyline and Willows incresing power was good. I liked that Joyce died of natural causes that made it even more powerful and sad. Everyone elses character was all good but there was too big a mistake with the whole Dawn thing to make this season a winner. Dawn’s character should have just own up to the fact that she needed to be killed and should’ve done it herself, it would’ve been the only honorable thing she would have accomplished but she couldn’t even bring herself to do that much because she was too selfish. And Buffy’s character was so stupid to not accept that Dawn had to go, it irritated me that she told Giles and everyone else that no one’s to hurt Dawn and once the ritual begins then everyone dies, I mean way to go with making sure your friends lives and Giles(who’s her father figure)are going to be safe even though they stuck by her and helped her for years, which is a much longer period of time that Buffy really was in contact with Dawn. Choosing Dawn over everyone else, maybe Buffy does deserve to die. I never really had anything bad to say about Buffy the series until this season. SO IN ALL SEASON 5 WAS POOR.
