Rating: - The Best Season That is on DVD as of Now
I love this show. I have grown up with it since the second season and let me tell you that even though im a guy, i have cried so many times i cant count. This is the best Season after Season 5 and season 7, which arent out yet. :( This season, even though two seasons away, sets up for the resolution of season 5. Faith: "Little Miss Muffet counting down 7-2-0". Refering buffy as little miss muffet and 720 as 720 days, or two years, when buffy sacrifices her life to save the world and dawn. and speaking of faith, she'll be back soon in the new season :). This season introduced faith, the rogue slayer, as a good guy gone bad. She ended up helping the mayor achieve his ascension, and led to his downfall. This season started out with Buffy in L.A. living by herself since she ran away. but after one episode in the big bad city, she returns home. If you love heartbreak, comedy, suspense, and everything else buffy is known for; you will love this season
Rating: - simply excellent
When Season 2 ended, Buffy(Sarah Michelle Gellar) had been kicked out of her home, accused of murder, expelled from high school, did kill her Vampire-boyfriend Angel and send him to hell, and left town with a suitcase. It was quite a year, apart from all of her regular slaying duties. Season 3 begins with Buffy living alone and working as a waitress, far from Sunnydale. Even though she wants to be left alone and not reminded of being a Slayer or having any sort of extra powers or responsibility, she meets a homeless girl who knew of her back in Sunnydale. Buffy being Buffy ends up helping and realizing that she wants to go back home. The rest of the season is back in Sunnydale and focus around the school year. Buffy is now a Senior and will be graduating at the end of the season. Storylines continue from earlier seasons as Angel (David Boreanz) makes a return (somehow, being in hell and all that), we see a resolution in Buffy's relationship with Angel. Willow (Alyson Hannigan) learns more about witchcraft and grows in her relationship with her werewolf boyfriend, Oz (Seth Green). While most characters developed over the course of the three seasons, Xander (Nicholas Brendan) has stayed pretty much the same, even throughout his relationship with Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter). Buffy's Watcher, Giles (Anthony Head) has a bit more to do this year and gets to break out of the stuffy Brit that he has been. New introductions to the cast are Buffy's new watcher Wesley, a Vengeance demon Anya, and a new Slayer, Faith (Eliza Dushku). Faith has the most impact on the show, stealing every scene she is in and works as a perfect foil for Buffy. Faith is what Buffy could have been had she made the wrong choices in her life. Faith is the dark side of what a Slayer can be. While the storylines can seem silly or dumb when written down on paper, the series turns out very strong on screen. The writing is top notch and the dialogue is fast, irreverent and funny. Buffy is a difficult show to categorize. It is a drama, science fiction/fantasy, a comedy, romance, and a musical (once). It is all of this not only during the course of the season, but during the course of a single episode. Most episodes are self contained, but they do serve to drive the overall story towards a conclusion (for each season). The overall story for this season deals with the Mayor, who is attempting to ascend into a higher plane of existence (demon). This culminates on graduation day and ends with the school blowing up (another episode that had to be pushed back because of real life events (Columbine) affecting what may be permissible to air on television). An episode dealing with a potential school shooting was set to air just after the Columbine tragedy, and may not have aired at all. Season 3 was another stellar season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer .
