Action-packed Season Three develops major characters and plot lines brewing over the last couple of years (see below). The Mayor, this season's major baddie, wants to become an invincible demon by slaughtering everyone at Sunnydale High's graduation ceremony, but he's going to torture them all by giving his speech first. Bad-girl vampire-slayer Faith wants to best Buffy and gets ever more rotten. Angel comes back from hell but isn't sure what to do about his girlfriend. Willow meets her evil gay vampire duplicate from another dimension. Xander loses his virginity, but still has to contemplate his essential uselessness. Cordelia gets less whiny and has to work in a dress-shop when her father becomes bankrupt. Giles wears tweed and drinks tea, though it is revealed that he used to be a warlock and in a punk band. Besides the soap opera, there are monsters, curses, and vampires (inevitably). --Kim Newman

Customer Reviews
The Best Buffy Box Set (2001-08-19)  This box set is probably the best becsause it contains classic episodes like 'Doppelgangland', 'Earshot', 'Enemies' and 'Graduation Day Part 2'. Season Three was a classic season and the second part was the best; everything was good...Angel featured, Willow was going out with Oz, Faith was wreaking havoc and the terrific baddie The Mayor was getting ready for his Ascension. We love How Things Used To Be!
Televisual greatness epitomised (2001-05-27)  Covering a truly vast canvas of plot strands, Buffy Series 3 features the culmination of the Whedon gang's adroitness when it comes to fashioning a show that can appeal to the masses, but implement unusually sharp wittiness at the same time. In a rapturous conclusion to the series, the storyline serves up the most furious series of battles BTVS will ever see. Pervaded by a deftly woven sense of apocalyptic dread, the series' final two sees scores settled between Buffy and Faith, the Mayor and the slayer and, perhaps most importantly(most entertainingly for sure), the teenage residents of Sunnydale and the main bulk of the vamp community. The diminuitive flaws underlying the overriding greatness include some despicable CGI when the Mayor undergoes his physical catharsis, and the fact that the following two series fail to achieve the unfathomable heights that their benchmark predecessor reached.
becomeing is overshaddowed (2001-01-02)  this buffy box set has too be the best ever. Each episode is great in its own way well maybe except helpess were the plot is very thin. Watch out for the episodes the zeppo, prom, enemies and Graduation part one and two in this box set the acting is brilliant particulay by xander and faith all in all a great buffy video.
The ultimate showdown - prepare yourself! (2000-11-20)  This is the ultimate in Showdowns. Preapre yourself mentally before hand so that you can fully appreciate the awesome episodes that are Graduation Day. This will really shake all of the emotions out of you. Buy it today, you won't regret it!
Oh I say... (2000-09-23)  'The Becoming' was just about as good as Buffy could get. The Third series had an very hard act to follow, but it is astounding with just how much aplomb it buries the last series. Two exciting and heart-wrenchingly emotional threads supported by a few nice one-off storylines ('The Zeppo' the best by far), it has really allowed Gellar and Boreanaz to take Buffy and Angel through to a tragically poignant conclusion. Boreanaz, particularly in 'Amends', is excellent which bodes well, I promise you, for those of you yet to see Angel, the Series. Hannigan, Stewart-Head, Green and Brendan never really take a back-seat as could so easily have been the case and instead emerge triumphantly crucial to the dynamics of the show. Charisma Carpenter perhaps spends less time at the forefront than in previous episodes, but still adds a dimension to the show that I suspect will be sorely missing in the Fourth Series. The gut-bustingly guffawsome one-liners are still solidly in evidence and ease the more distressing moments. Eliza Dushku is darkly exciting as Faith and plays her part in the run-up to Graduation Day with grim humour. Buffy fans will already have bought it - non-Buffy fans will need to see the first and second series before any of this makes any sense. To watch it now would devalue a set of storylines that blows the X-Files off the planet. Brilliant.
