Buffy The Vampire Slayer (Season 3) DVD Review

The brainchild of writer Joss Whedon, Buffy The Vampire Slayer originally entered American pop culture as a full-length feature film, starring Kristy Swanson, in 1992. But creator Whedon felt that the project never quite did justice to the full scope of his vision, so he managed turn the film into a television series in 1997. The result of Whedon's increased artistic freedom is a series that has enjoyed both critical acclaim and audience notoriety. Nominated for 14 Emmy's during its seven year run, the show managed to win only two (both in 1998 for Outstanding Makeup and Outstanding Music Composition in a television series). Yet, the true success for Buffy The Vampire Slayer is indicated by the massive success of the show's long run, strong DVD sales, and the overwhelming success of the series spin-off Angel

Sarah Michelle Gellar plays the title role of Buffy Anne Summers, a teenage girl who stands alone among her generation as the chosen one able to stand against va mpires, demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer But Buffy is not alone in fulfilling her destiny as a slayer of vampires. She also receives help from the high school librarian, Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head), who is a Watcher - the one chosen to train and guide slayers on their developmental path. In addition, new friends Willow Rosenberg (Alyson Hannigan - of American Pie fame) and Xander Harris (Nicholas Brendon) quickly uncover the truth of Buffy's destiny, and they often aid her in defending the world against evil forces

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Season 3) DVD offers a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere Anne in which Buffy moves to L.A. and becomes a waitress hoping to forget her old life as a vampire slayer, but when she runs into some old friends, they end up trapped in an alternate dimension ruled by demons.

When Buffy escapes the alternate dimension, she returns to Sunnydale Other notable episodes from Season 3 include Homecoming in which Cordelia and Buffy become rivals for the title of Homecoming Queen, and The Wish in which Cordelia wishes that Buffy had never moved to Sunnydale (when a demon grants the wish, Cordelia's world is turned upside-down)
