Amazon.co.uk Review
The sixth series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer followed the logic of plot and character development into some gloomy places. The year begins with Buffy being raised from the dead by the friends who miss her, but who fail to understand that a sacrifice taken back is a sacrifice negated. Dragged out of what she believes to have been heavenly bliss, she finds herself "going through the motions" and entering into a relationship with the evil, besotted vampire Spike just to force her emotions.
Willow becomes ever more caught up in the temptations of magic; Xander and Anya move towards marriage without ever discussing their reservations; Giles feels he is standing in the way of Buffy's adult independence; Dawn feels neglected. What none of them need is a menace that is, at this point, simply annoying--three high school contemporaries who have turned their hand to magical and high-tech villainy. Added to this is a hungry ghost, an invisibility ray, an amnesia spell and a song-and-dance demon (who acts as rationale for the incomparable musical episode "Once More With Feeling").
This is a year in which chickens come home to roost: everything from the villainy of the three geeks to Xander's doubts about marriage come to a head, often--as in the case of the impressive wedding episode--through wildly dark humour. The estrangement of the characters from each other--a well-observed portrait of what happens to college pals in their early 20s--comes to a shocking head with the death of a major character and that death's apocalyptic consequences. The series ends on a consoling note which it has, by that point and in spite of imperfections, entirely earned. --Roz Kaveney

Something about the extras,
By A Customer
This review is from: Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Season 6 [DVD] [1998] (DVD)
If you already own the videos and you're buying the DVDs mainly for the extras then don't bother.I found my self very disappointed with them, luckily I bought them second hand so I didn't fork out the whole amount. The commentaries are uninsightful "Look, see, doesn't Emma look like Sarah from the back there? Can't you just imagine our horror when we realised that" !?! Most of the time it's just the writers and directors going on about how much fun the show is to work on and how great Joss is. There are huge gaps in the voices when we're left with just the episode playing really quietly until someone says "look see, she looks like Sarah again". The "behind the scences" of Double Meat Palace is a charade. There is no behind the scenes footage, it's just the writers and directors plus 2 cast members telling us what their first job was and what their dream job would be. All in all, as I said before, if you want to buy these for the extras then you'd be better to borrow them off someone (coz you'll only watch the extras once anyway) or buy them as cheap as you can.

4.0 out of 5 stars
The worst season ever, but still better than anything else..,
By A Customer
This review is from: Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Season 6 [DVD] [1998] (DVD)
this is the worst season of buffy as it contains lots of crap episodes like 'doublemeat place' and 'as you were'. but it is still better than anything else on tv!!!!there are still good episodes however with the musical 'once more with feeling' and 'tabula rasa' where everyone loses their memory. The finale is a 4 episode ending the episodes 'seeing red' 'two to go' and 'villains' are good but the final of the finale episodes 'grave' is the crapest finale of buffy ever. All the action and big battles are cut and instead we get lots of talking. so its boring. their is also lame looking monsters that are supposed to be coming out of the ground to kill buffy!!! P>this dvd does have the best extras of any buffy dvd though and most of the episodes are watchable.

First Impressions,
By A Customer
This review is from: Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Season 6 [DVD] [1998] (DVD)
Buffy since it started has usually been a benchmark for humour, plot and tragedy rolled in to one. Unfortunately the show in it's sixth series seemed to lose major elements of all of the above. When I first saw it I was very critical but having had time to mull over my views I have somthing else to say about this series - it is painfully average. There are some exceptional moments including the series two part opener, the three part closer and the ambitious musical episode, but generally this series lapses into soap opera farce. Whilst many disagree and might claim that I missed the point as it was all meant to be gloomy and dark with plenty of emotional turmoil, I say to them this: darkness may have been the point, but boredom? Whilst there are some good moments in Hell's Bells and As You Were, there are some stinkers in Doublemeat Palace, Older And Far Away and a lot of the early stories with the Trio. The character development of Dawn seems to hve faltered and I can't help wondering what point she has in the show now? There were moments when she just became a whiny irritating little soap opera kid from 'Neighbours'. Fortunately for the Producers the show now has a guaranteed audience so they can afford to be dare I say it - a little lazy in storytelling. Whilst it is worth watching to understand what is happening at the beginning of the seventh year I would seriously question the value in shelling out sixty to eighty quid to own it. Of course my review might not be posted because of what I've just said. My advice is to wait for Series Seven as it is much more exciting, funny and really a return to form for a series that seems to have stumbled into a closet in it's sixth year.
