'Out of My Mind' finds Spike planning to reverse the effects of the process employed on him by the Initiative in order to return to his bad old ways. In 'No Place Like Home', Buffy's mother suddenly becomes ill, and 'Family' sees the arrival of Tara's family in Sunnydale leading to the revelation of an old secret.

Yet another stunner from Wheadon

By JamieJJ (1 review) from London , 13 Feb 2009

Yup, they've done it again. This stuff is addictive, not only does the story keep on rolling and get you completely hooked, the characters are so damned loveable. If you've only even heard of Buffy and not yet done anything, then I can assure you, by the time you get to this series you're going to be loving it. Nice stuff.

Re-live the 90s

By Seraph83 (2 reviews) from Durham , 11 Jul 2008

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

Continuing this great series brings back all the great feelings of watching the show years ago. From the arrival of a famous count to the seasons final 'Gift' the plot twist will keep you guessing?!

Pure heart-wrenching moments over the death of buffy's mother and how over-whelming this experience must be!

And where did buffy get a sister from?!

If you own the other seasons i would suggest putting aside a month an re-living it all!
