The good news is that original shooting scripts of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" are available, as in this volume offering up the last six episodes of Season One. But the bad news, relatively speaking, is that we just get the scripts without any extras. The pages are your traditional Courier style font (including the title page), and while the pages are not in blue, pink, green, yellow, goldenrod and salmon to reflect the various revisions, if you follow the revision dates on the top of the pages you can figure that part out. Therefore, while I appreciate having the original scripts in front of my while watching the episodes so I can see what has been deleted/added/changed (these are not transcripts; big difference), I would have really liked to have a bit more such as introductions by the writers talking about the genesis of the script ideas or problems they had to overcoming in putting the script into production, beyond the production notes and stage directions. Certainly some of what I am looking for can be found in "The Watcher's Guide," which covers the show's first two seasons, but given how first-rate the BtVS companion volumes have been I am rather surprised this is a comparatively bare bones effort.
Included in this volume for those of you who do not have the first 100 episodes totally memorized are "Angel" written by David Greenwalt, "I Robot, You Jane" by Ashley Gable and Tom Swyden, "The Puppet Show" by Rob Des Hotel and Dan Batali, and a trio of scripts by series creator Joss Whedon, "Nightmares," "Out of Mind, Out of Sight" and "Prophecy Girl." These are the episodes where BtVS kicks into high gear, starting with Buffy's discovery that Angel is a vampire and ending with the Slayer's return from the dead top finish off the Master. The emphasis in the second half of season one was a bit more on the Buffy mythos, but still attention is bad to the idea that high school is a living hell when you are a teenager.

The first seaon of Buffy was obviously only the beginning of things to come but it has lost none of the magic over the show's four year run. This book gives you access to the last half uncut episodes of Season 1 and would make a great present for any Buffy Fan (along with volume 1 of course)

Being an avid Buffy fan I bought this and vol 1 as soon as they came out. However, I am disappointed. They appeared to promise so many extra snippets of script but these are already in the Watcher's Guide. I would advise anyone from Buffy fanatic to Buffy beginner to avoid this and buy the season one video box-set or DVD as this is one of the best seasons. Why read the book when you can watch the episodes repeatedly and learn the script that way!!!!
