Amazon.co.uk Review
The fifth season of Buffy is about illusions and the truth that they often reveal; it is also about the hard truth that there are some enemies it is impossible to fight. In the second half of the season, Buffy has a sister to protect, for all that young Dawn was originally a mystical pattern of energy. Buffy learns that Glory, the gibbering woman in a red dress who is looking for her Key, is a being too powerful to fight. Even being around Buffy and Dawn is dangerous for their friends, as Glory and her minions proceed by a process of elimination. The eventual confrontation when it comes is genuinely shocking in its outcome as well as depending in a variety of ways on what has happened earlier in the season; these are episodes which demand our full attention. Meanwhile, the vampire Spike's obsessed desire for Buffy takes them both to some very strange places and Willow and Tara have their love tested in the most gruelling of ways. And in the quietly upsetting episode "The Body", the cast produce their most impressive performances yet as they have to deal with another enemy they cannot fight. --Roz Kaveney
