Season Five of Buffy can be viewed individually and not lose any of its impact. Buffy explores the history and nature of her Slayer abilities. Xander begins to find a place for himself in the world by graduating beyond his high school persona. Willow continues to progress with her magical abilities though it is unclear whether this is for the best. Giles finds new purpose by taking over ownership of The Magic Box and renewing his role as Buffy's Watcher when she needs him the most. There is a visit from the council to contend with, a former enemy who has now fallen obsessively in love with the Slayer and a hellgod intent on returning to her dimension and not afraid to take ours with her. On top of this real world problems start to hamper down our Slayer as her mother becomes sick. And there is a mysterious new member to the Summers family that long-term viewers won't recognise but all the characters seem to. This season of the show has a story and character arc that begins in the first episode and ends in the last, but it also fits in with the seasons that come before and afterwards. The final episode (the show's 100th) is stunning and heartbreaking but isn't the season's only standout moment with the utter terror, realism and heartbreak of 'The Body', the backstory in 'Fool For Love' and the humour in episodes such as 'The Replacement' and 'Intervention'. All of this together spells out the best season in Buffy's history - a mix of humour, intense emotion and deep thoughts combined with action, character development and zippy outfits... and that's in every single episode! This DVD boxset also contains commentaries (the one on 'The Body' by Joss Whedon is particularly good), outtakes, featurettes and more.
