Rating: - Excellent season and worth owning!
My favorite season is still number 2, but the 3rd season is a strong competitor for that top spot. The soap opera aspect continues as the third season opens and Buffy is dealing with the pain of having to kill her boyfriend, Angel. Obviously, we see that Angel is resurrected but the consequences of loving him are still the same. New villains are introduced like the Mayor and a new slayer comes to town, Faith, who eventually turns into a villain. You'll also get to see an alternative universe where Willow and Xander are vampires. You'll see Joyce, Giles and Principal Snyder turned into reckless teenagers (Emotionally). The popular character of Anya is introduced as well and this will also be Cordelia and Angel's last full season with the scooby gang. (season 4 has a couple crossover episodes with the series "Angel" where they are reunited and a brief crossover in season 5). Also, a new watcher comes to town, Wesley...which would be his only season on Buffy (he eventually came back and joined the Angel cast in mid season one of the Angel series). Anyways, great writing, great plots, witty humor and a MUST SEE season. The only flaw of the season is the lack of Spike who only appears in one episode.
Rating: - Slayer Rules
Buffy Anne Summers is there to save the world.Trained as the Slayer of this generation you would thik she would be more...Secretive.
However with her modern aproach to life and kick back wanna be a normal teenager additued more people know who she is then should.Not only having to worry about her mother Joyce she also has to protect her friends;Willow,Xander,Oz,and Cordellia...Well more of a tag a long.Along with some -help- with the new Slayer Faith Buffy and her watch Rupert Giles and the soon to be new watcher Wesely Whyndem Price they try to save the world...Again.

Rating: - The Genius of Joss Whedon (Possible Spoilers)
Season 3 of Buffy is the show at its finest. We are introduced to many memorable characters such as Mayor Richard Wilkins III, Mr. Trick, Faith, Anya, and Wesley Wyndam-Pryce.Joss Whedon, the show's creator and executive producer, continues to write the most incredible episodes of the season such as Amends, Dopplegangland, and Graduation Day (Parts 1 and 2). The highlights of this season include Band Candy, in which the adults of the town proceed to act like teenagers due to candy bars, The Wish, in which the demon Anyanka grants Cordelia's wish that Buffy never came to Sunnydale creating an alternate reality in which vampires rule, Dopplegangland, in which vampire Willow is brought forth from an alternate reality to modern day Sunndydale, and the climactic season finale Graduation Day in which the Buffy must rely on friends to help defeat this season's "Big Bad." This season has just as many, if not more, twists and turns than the previous two seasons. One of the big twists is that someone close to Buffy will turn against her and attack her friends causing her yet another hardship to face. If one thing can be said about the show, it is that it always keeps you guessing. Add this DVD set to your collection. You won't be disappointed.
