Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 5

Now, Season 4 was good. Season 5…. better. This season had me hooked from the very first episode, which features a showdown between Buffy and the most famous vampire of all (NO! not Edward!) …DRACULA.

I got all giddy and excited for this new season.

The writing in this season is far superior than the others. Not only are there kick ass storylines and lots of demons and monsters, but this season really starts playing with the viewer’s emotional involvement with the characters. They reeeeeally start playing with your emotions in this one. And I couldn’t get enough.

We get new characters in this season – Glory, a highly annoying god with a bad perm intent on destroying the world, and Dawn, a sister for Buffy and key of unlikely sorts. Rock on… But we also get the loss of a few key characters that rock the foundation and provide great new possibilities for good stories.

Buffy and her boyfriend, Riley, start having issues (mainly because he’s not a hot vampire with bleached out blonde hair) and Spike’s persistence with Buffy heats up (thank you thank you thank you!!)

The end of this season left me with my mouth open, chin to the floor and racing to get Buffy the Vampire Slayer:  Season 6!
