Another dose of Buffity goodness...
James Marsters has to be one of the most skilled actors I've seen with one-liners. It's gotten to the point where I almost cheer everytime he's on the screen. Then again, he is a babe, so I guess that's to be expected. 
And three cheers to Giles for laying a dose of major whoop-ass on Angel. Always nice to see the geeky guys get to throw a punch.
And speaking of Angel, he has to be one of the most sadistic bastards I've seen. And I'm loving every minute of it.

Spike, Spike, Spike, and more Spike. Need I say more?
This was the first season finale I've watched in a while that didn't leave me fuming. Joss has this wonderful ability to resolve plot hooks while still leaving room for future stories. Then again, if you live in fear of being cancelled, it's a necessary skill.
I'm officially addicted to Buffy. I'm talking a full-blown, need rehab jones here. I watched the last disc in one day, then put it in the mail that same day so I could get the next disc sooner. And I'll probably watch that one in one day, so I can get another one for the weekend. Joss help me.

Just be open to radical gear-changes, and you'll love it to the end like I did.

Like the whole Willow-becoming-evil-thing I keep hearing about?

Among others.
Let me save you some time, and maybe money. If you can't buy the Chosen collection, then just buy season 3, rent 4, 5, and 6- then buy 7.
Then you can backtrack and purchase any other seasons (like 2) that you see fit to own.
But for my money, 3 and 7 are the must-owns.
Happy slaying Chrisisall

My daughters tuned me into Buffy mid 2nd season (we now own the series) and we watched Angel together as well. We all agree that Spike is da bomb and Angel just kinda....eh. (tho I love David on Bones)
But obviously both Buffy and Angel were just warmups for Joss...I find it interesting that the best characters (or what I think were the best) from both series were "supporting" (Druscilla, Spike, Faith, Fred etc) and in Firefly there are no real "supporting" characters (other than guest appearance type stuff) - ensemble is what Joss was meant to do!

Ahhh, Spike and Faith.
The rich Jossy frosting on SMG's yellow cake Buffster.
Then even she changed to Devil's Food for season 6 .

Whereas other people--like me--will tell you that 7 was perhaps the weakest season of all. 'Eye of the beholder' and all that.
My recommendation: if you're on a budget and can't afford to buy every season, rent them all first, decide which ones you like best, and buy those.

Or you could do that.
Not always right Chrisisall

I too have become a Spikaholic. River6213 got me started when I read a thread about Once More With Feeling. I've been hooked ever since. I'm not watching in order though, I can't afford to rent or buy right now. I'm also hooked on Angel, yes it's still on TNT.
A gift for you DeepGirl,
