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

3.0 out of 5 stars Something about the extras, 18 Oct 2003
By A Customer
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 Underappreciated Season, 16 Mar 2003
By Richard Figueroa Jr (Studio City, California) - See all my reviews
While many dislike this season due to its drastic change in tone and character development, this is by far one of my favorite seasons. This season was definitely needed due to the fact that season 5 didn't allow much time for development. Season 5 was quick paced with a seasonal Big Bad early on. Most of the focus was on that, but this season you got to see each character in a spotlight all their own. You see the parts of your character that you don't always like, which is a nice change from the norm. This season is definitely not your kid siblings Buffy. This season is also very pivotal for setting up a fantastic season (7 and final) and is quite needed. When viewed as a whole, this season is much better than as it aired. During the original airing, you often forget what is going on, and the multiple story lines that are entangled. That is my only problem with Buffy by the way, is its airing will have so many repeats during pivotal points in the season and you forget where the stories all tied. The DVD set will definitely show what alot of people didn't get to realize. That this season is a very powerful season and Buffy is worthy of the Title as The Chosen One once again. My favorite episodes include Bargaining part 1 and 2, Afterlife, Once More with Feeling, Wrecked, Seeing Red, Villains, and Two to Go. I will admit that the season finale left me feeling a little cheated, but the other episodes leading up to it made up for the anti climatic ending.
While this is only getting 4 stars, only season 3 and 5 get a full Best rating in my book. Season 6 is a masterpiece. Thank you Joss and Marti once again

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 stars for the extras rather than the season itself, 10 Aug 2006
By G. M. Ranson "gillmr" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm probably one of the few people who'll review this season as Buffy going seriously downhill. For me, the show went into some dark places it should never have gone - the whole Buffy / Spike thing for one.

At the start of the season, the gang are trying to deal with Buffy's death - so things aren't exactly happy. Willow begins her downward spiral into dark magic - with a fantastic conclusion, it has to be said. The geek trio just don't do it for me, though - I began to feel that the show had lost its way.

The whole Giles character arc didn't feel right either - and I'm not just being sore about him being gone for most of the season. I simply don't agree that he'd just go under those circumstances. The whole premise of it being for Buffy's own good doesn't fit; nor does labelling their relationship as "father/daughter" entirely work - it was more complicated than that.

So what's good? The first few episodes are great; Once More with Feeling and Tabula Rasa are wonderful; the final episode is brilliant. The DVD extras, particularly the Once More With Feeling commentary and Behind The Scenes featurette are excellent and in my opinion make the season worth owning.

I just didn't get the same buzz from this season as from the others. At least Xander and Anya bring some comedy relief to a very bleak season.
