Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Season 6 Collection - Part 2 [VHS] [1998]

However, this year also comes with tragedy, which all kicks off in 'Entrophy'. There is Spike's adempted rape on Buffy, several gun shots leaving characters severly wounded, and the BigScoobyDeath. These events lead to Willow losing it, as she finally gives into her magick temptation. In 'Seeing Red', 'Two To Go' and 'Grave' we get to see a side of Willow we have rarely seen. The side of Willow we really don't want to mess with.

Personally, my fave episodes are definitely 'Two To Go' and 'Grave' (season finale). One episode that stands out is 'Normal Again' which leaves Buffy thinking that she is a patient in a mental hospital and that her life as the slayer has been an illusion for the past 6 years. To be honest, all of the episodes on this set are genius, which is what we have come to expect from an established show like this, and from the brilliant workings of Whedon and Noxon.

Where can it go from here? We will know soon, as season 7 is confirmed and the cast are about to start filming, with rumours that a few scenes of the Season Seven opener will been filmed in England. And as for Spike? Will we be seeing a new side to him after the last shocking scene? And most importantly, will these rumours that Sarah Michelle Gellar leaving be confirmed?!

"Dead Things" - 9/10. Excellent episode, excellent cinematography and acting, and the drama elements were very well done.

"Older and Far Away" - 3/10. A whine-fest. Anya and Dawn have tantrums like they're three year olds. The high-point is the sword-swinging demon.

"As You Were" - 9/10. Riley has never been my favourite character but I really liked this episode. There were some great lines ("Troublemeat palace") and some further development for Buffy.

"Hell's Bells" - 5/10. I really used to like this episode, but everytime I watch it it declines in quality. The jokes aren't funny, the motives are awful (I hate Xander now) and the whole Buffy feel wasn't there.

"Normal Again" - 9/10. Terrific and original episode, with some particularly disturbing scenes in the mental hospital. Lots of subtle touches make this one a must-see.

"Entropy" - 8/10. Very good drama episode. Emma Caulfield and James Marsters are great. The first half is weak, the second half is brilliant.

"Seeing Red" - 10/10. One of those amazing episodes that mixes outrageous comedy with tragic sadness. Tara's death was shocking and sudden, and Willow's red eyes are the single best Buffy shot in history.

"Villains" - 10/10. I must've watched this brilliant episode about 20 times. It's truly amazing, Alyson Hannigan is incredible. Everything here is great, making it only second to "Once More, With Feeling" in the season 6 best-of list.

"Two to Go" - 9/10. This episode is almost a 10/10 but there is some silly dialogue here that brings it down a notch. The Buffy-Willow fight is classic.

"Grave" - 9/10. Had to rewatch this to get to really like it. Now I love it. Alyson Hannigan continues her run of great performances, all the Magic Box scenes are great, and the scene with Willow and Xander is classic.

SEASON 6 AVERAGE: 7.7/10. Even with some bad episodes ("Older and Far Away", "DoubleMeat Palace"), this box set is worth buying just to see Black Magick Willow, probably my personal favourite villain ever.
