I liked Glory overall. I think her craziness might have been part of the "uneven" aspect.
The actress was great.

yeah, I think the worst of Buffy holds up to repeated viewings (I know people who think 'Beer Bad' is one of the all time worst episodes, but it definitely had some amazing moments (I like it better now than when I first saw it).
I wasn't crazy about season 5 either...because I didn't get into Glory,
but there were amazing individual episodes: The Body being one of the all time best. Did you listen to the commentary? Joss was really sharing a lot of his personal pain in that one.
I really do want you to watch Season 6 soon, and tell us what you think... I think you'll feel that it is worth the angst.

Tape can be OK for things you are only viewing once or twice, but don't discount all the old formats. I will never relinquish my Golden Age of Looney Tunes, Art of Tom and Jerry, or Song of the South Laserdiscs, so I have my regular player, and a backup LD player that I keep in my closet just for parts.
BTW, I'm right there with ya in wishing SMG a happy happy one!
mmmmmm--buffybot.
So who is he?

Well who in the damn galaxy ain't!

They don't know fans, do they?
I watch all I buy Chrisisall
I bought The Chosen Collection to save money. I got hooked after renting the first two seasons. Also, I had to buy my own set because I couldn't stand the skips and scratches on the rentals.
I'm up to Season 4. But, I have a thing about completeness. If I don't have the whole picture, I feel like I don't have the whole vision of the writers/cast/crew.

Chris, I honestly couldn't tell you which one to buy. I know I would buy Buffy, but that is only due to the fact that i have not seen a single Voyager episode and that Star Trek has never piqued my interest.
My opinion on 6 and 7 is "changeable but intense" (quoting Anya from season 7). Sometimes I love these two seasons and other times i'm not that into them. 6 is really dark and deals with addictions and abusive relationships. 7 is lighter and deals with power- "those that have it and those that know how to use it."

OMG, are people actually comparing Voyager of all things to Buffy? What are you guys on over here? I saw the entire series of Voyager (to my retrospective embarassment) and can only say that I was stunned by how consistently mediocre it was. Only a small handful of standout episodes in the whole series, and when put up against Star Trek: The Next Generation, a complete failure.
Anyway, I'm always in a way hurt by the amount of online hate towards S6 and S7. I suppose that's why I decided to start up my own in-depth Buffy review site, so I can make a (likely feeble) attempt and showing how awesome S6 is (it's quite possibly my *favorite* season), and how decent S7 is (not the best *Buffy* season, but still incredible with a ton of stand-out episodes).
Please ignore everyone who tells you it sucks -- opinions widely vary on this issue and you HAVE to decide for yourself.

I would say Buffy S7 is comparable to Voyager in that most of the eps produce an emotional response equivalent to 'meh'. Buffy S6 on the other hand makes me want to scratch my own eyes out.
If you *must* choose between these two (and I think there are tons of other dvds you could be watching...) then probably Buffy, since you might enjoy the last two seasons as some crazy folk tend to ;)
Side note: Was the OMWF individual dvd released in the US?

As a fan of both I would easily recommend you own Voyager 4 - 7 but as a new Buffy fan you must own 6 and 7. Season 6 is my second favorite season. The Trio are a sci-fi geek's dream come true villans. Joss and the writers had fun using every Star Wars, Star Trek, Potter, ect.... reference they could.
I own the Chosen Collection and I love it.
