Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
The sixth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was the one a lot of people hated--the show's writers followed the logic of plot and character development into some gloomy places, especially in this, the season's second half. The way that Willow's interest in magic had grown into an excessive fascination with her own power was plausible enough, but to move the interest of this over to a crudely explicit analogy with addiction and rehab was a point where the show seemed to be underlining its usual deft, angst-ridden metaphors. The complicated relationship between Buffy and the bleached blond vampire Spike was far more successfully handled. Sarah Michelle Gellar offers sexual self-disgust as well as any other emotion she has had to perform and James Marsters is as elegantly ruthless and obsessive as ever.

This is a season 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 season ends on a consoling note which it has, by that point and in spite of imperfections, entirely earned. –Roz Kaveney

- Effective but very depressive set of episodes (spoilers)
Part 2 of the sixth season of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" continues the themes of adult life and self-destruction introduced in Part 1. Season Six rubbed the fans up the wrong way because it was the Slayer and her friends who were the Big Bad this season, making wrong decisions, splitting apart and becoming weak to the point where the pathetic "Evil Trio" could actually pose a threat to them. Though it makes for depressing viewing sometimes, especially in filler episodes, it all eventually comes together in style.

The main characters continue to be well-fleshed out and are fun to watch, although Dawn (Michelle Trachtenberg) and Tara (Amber Benson) are as good as left out for most of the action. Tara was a sweetly mellow presence, ... Read More:

- Buffy The Vampire Slayer Is At It's Best!
the sixth season is my personal favourite. It begins brillianty. the Scooby gang are using the Buffy bot to fight deamons, but they know that she's not the real Buffy. So Willow has hatched a plan. Her, Xander, Anya and Tara are going to raise buffy from the dead. (Giles has gone to England, and Dawn and Spike don't know). So they raise her, but get interupted by a pack of deamons. buffy is forced to dig out of her own grave. She is left bloody and confused. She struggles to come to terms with life after death. We then learn that her friends tore her out of heaven.
Buffy seems a little less human then she once was (Spike can hit her) But this leads to romance,a nd Spike and Buffy sleep together. Xander eventually finds out about it,a fter ... Read More:

- THINK YOUR LIFES BAD........
I FELT, DARE I SAY, DISSAPOINTED WITH SEASON 6. WAS IT SPOILERS OR BAD WRITING. NO I THINK IT WAS THE DARKNESS. NOT IN A HORROR WAY, THATS WHY I LIKE THE SHOW. IT WAS THE DARKNESS OF LIFE . THIS YEAR WAS CALLED (BY CREATOR JOSS) "OH GROW UP ". SO WHEN YOU GROW UP EVERY THING FALLS APART. YEAH THANKS.
A LOT HAPPENDS THIS YEAR- AND MOST OF IT BAD. THE HIGHLIGHTS ARE THE EPISIODS "OLDER AND FAR AWAY", "NORMAL AGAIN"AND THE EPIC LAST 3 SHOWING US WILLOW IMBRACE THE DARKSIDE. THAT WAS SO COOL. ALONG WITH THE SPIKE AND BUFFY THING- ONE THING THEY DID DO IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND IT'S SHOCKING CLIMAX. KILLING OFF TARA WAS A BAD MOVE FOR ME. SHE WAS MY FAVOURTIE CHARACTER WITH SO MUCH POTIENTAIL WHICH WRITERS LOOKED OVER. TOO MANY RELATIOSHIP BROKE ... Read More:

- messy
The main thing that season 6 proves is the genius of Joss Whedon. He steps away from his creation for a series and the whole thing goes a bit wobbly. Don't get me wrong this is still way ahead of most television and all of its pale imitators but this series is just to flawed to be classic. Much has been made of the darkness of this series, I have no problem with that - series 2 wasn't exactly light - what I do have a problem with is the quality of the writing.

Firstly there are just too many plot lines competing for attention so that none really held my attention, is this about the (awful) Trio, Willow, or Buffy & Spike? Previous series had a strong central plot combined with sub plotting and standalone episodes all expertly balanced. ... Read More:

- Underrated Buffy Season
Series six got a lot of criticism from regular Buffy fans, but looking back over it, its hard to understand why. It's a slight change in direction from previous seasons, and although the message is different it's no less valid. There are the usual episodes which are a slight let down, but this is inevitable in a series with such a high standard as Buffy. The majority of the episodes are very entertaining, thought provoking and moving. I haven't given it 5 stars because the humour of which Buffy used to be full of is almost obsolete and although it contains many good episodes, there are no stand outs as with many previous box sets (The Gift, Hush etc).

Doublemeat Palace - 4/10
