DVD Reviews of Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Collector's Set (40 discs)

DVD Review: after the show
Summary: 5 Stars

I never watched Buffy when it was originally on TV. I have viewed the whole series now and want more! An Angel/Buffy reunion in a movie is definitely needed...Funny and quirky characters are easy to love or hate!

DVD Review: Vampilicious!
Summary: 4 Stars

I was really hesitant to buy this set due to the fact that the 7 series set was so much more expensive, but I'm glad I did! I have to admit, I hadn't started watching Buffy until after the series ended, but wanted to see it all. All 7 series and even bonus CD's. You can't beat that and the price...I'm glad I bought this. Hours of entertainment for my Husband and I and all the Vampire Slayer Action will keep you in your seat.

DVD Review: A Quality Set
Summary: 5 Stars

To anyone thinking they might want to get this...THIS IS THE GOOD COLLECTION!!!!!! It took me a while to figure it out when I was looking. All seven seasons are included with special features, plus an episode guide and an extra DVD of the actors favorite episodes! The box is pretty sweet, the front drops open when you lift the lid and the seven seasons are stacked. (Added bonus for those of you who are proenvironment, this takes way less packaging.)The box is way more durable than other people are saying. If you don't knock it around the DVDs are fine. I have never had any problems with mine at all. Just treat it right. The box is approximately as tall as a regular DVD case, and as wide as nine movie DVD cases, so it doesn't take up as much space as the individual seven seasons would. GET THIS COLLECTION!!!

DVD Review: GOOD SET

DVD Review: I'm almost done with Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Summary: 5 Stars

Been going through the DVDs for a while now and have just 8 episodes from the last season left. I'll start off by saying I really recommend this show. Joss Whedon (BTVS, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse) is clearly one of the more talented television directors of his generation, a lot of themes are explored and his characters tend to transcend the small catalogue of stereotypes that most Hollywood producers design their characters from.
Brief synopsis of the plot: It's a world like our own but with supernatural forces (demons, vampires, magic) operating behind the scenes. On the human side, one female, usually starting in her early teenage years, is chosen every generation with superhuman strength, agility, speed, reaction time to balance the forces. It's a serialized history with the story developing between the episodes. Each season corresponds to one central villain with that story developing, the character arcs meanwhile span multiple seasons and key events can happen in any episode.
The strengths of the show are the characters (all very original) and a lot of episodes that are individually very, very good. One anecdote on the characters. There's a nerdy female one, Willow Rosenberg, played by Allison Hannygan, who is Buffy's best friend, starts off as a techie and later on becomes a witch. Anyhow, the Fox executives told the staff to sex her up a little bit (she was dressing nerdy, wearing long, mismatched clothes) in order to increase ratings, didn't happen, and Whedon responded to them "you just watch, she'll have the biggest following of anyone on the show". And sure enough that happens. In later seasons we see her as a substitute teacher, a vampire (parallel universe), a good witch, a werewolf's lover, a lesbian lover, an evil witch, and a recovering evil witch.
There seems to be a lot of academic analysis of this show.
******
My favourite episodes? (spoilery, no particular order)
1) Buffy gets needled, travels back and forth to a parallel dimension where she's a mental patient.
2) Anyanka grants Cordelia's wish, Buffy never came to sunnydale and the master runs the town.
3) The musical episode.
4) Angel turns bad upon having sex, experiencing a moment of true happiness.
5) When Dawn cuts herself upon finding out she's not real.

Description of Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Collector's Set (40 discs)

*Seasons 1-7 on each disc

Bonus Disc: **Introduction by Joss Whedon **Back to the Hellmouth: A Conversation with Creators and Cast **Breaking Barriers: It's Not a Chick Fight Thing **Love Bites: Relationships in the Buffyverse **Evil Fiends **Buffy: An Unlikely Role Model **Buffy Cast and Crew: Favorite Episodes


From its charming and angst-ridden first season to the darker, apocalyptic final one, Buffy the Vampire Slayer succeeds on many levels, and in a fresher and more authentic way than the shows that came before or after it. How lucky, then, that with the release of its boxed set of seasons 1-7, you can have the estimable pleasure of watching a near-decade of Buffy in any order you choose. (And we have some ideas about how that should be done.)

First: rest assured that there's no shame in coming to Buffy late, even if you initially turned your nose up at the winsome Sarah Michelle Gellar kicking the hell out of vampires (in Buffy-lingo, vamps), demons, and other evil-doers. Perhaps you did so because, well, it looked sort of science-fiction-like with all that monster latex. Start with season 3 and see that Buffy offers something for everyone, and the sooner you succumb to it, the quicker you'll appreciate how textured and riveting a drama it is.

Why season 3? Because it offers you a winning cast of characters who have fallen from innocence: their hearts have been broken, their egos trampled in typically vicious high-school style, and as a result, they've begun to realize how fallible they are. As much as they try, there are always more monsters, or a bigger evil. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the core crew remains something of a unit--there's the smart girl, Willow (Alyson Hannigan) who dreams of saving the day by downloading the plans to City Hall's sewer tunnels and mapping a route to safety. There are the ne'r do wells--the vampire Spike (James Marsters), who both clashes with and aspires to love Buffy; the tortured and torturing Angel (David Boreanz); the pretty, popular girl with an empty heart (Charisma Carpenter); and the teenage everyman, Xander (Nicholas Brendon).

Then there's Buffy herself, who in the course of seven seasons morphs from a sarcastic teenager in a minidress to a heroine whose tragic flaw is an abiding desire to be a "normal" girl. On a lesser note, with the boxed set you can watch the fashion transformation of Buffy from mall rat to Prada-wearing, kickboxing diva with enviable highlights. (There was the unfortunate bob of season 2, but it's a forgivable lapse.) At least the storyline merits the transformations: every time Buffy has to end a relationship she cuts her hair, shedding both the pain and her vulnerability.

In addition to the well-wrought teenage emotional landscape, Buffy deftly takes on more universal themes--power, politics, death, morality--as the series matures in seasons 4-6. And apart from a few missteps that haven't aged particularly well ("I Robot" in season 1 comes to mind), most episodes feel as harrowing and as richly drawn as they did at first viewing. That's about as much as you can ask for any form of entertainment: that it offer an escape from the viewer's workaday world and entry into one in which the heroine (ideally one with leather pants) overcomes demons far more troubling than one's own. --Megan Halverson
