BUY SEASON 5 now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

irritating and neurotic
The worst season of all. While I gave 5 stars to the whole, this one hardly deserves even 3. The kid sister Dawn is a major irritation and - unfortunately - will continue to plague the series till the end. The whole team becomes domestic, neurotic and so immersed in their family problems that is is wonder they even notice there are some baddies around. Boring and very irritating.

PURE GOLD!
This season was one of my favourites! I must of watched it about 5 times already and I only got it 2 weeks ago! This would be a great Buffy season to get. The enemy in this season is great, the acting and script is really good, It is a 100% must watcher to any Buffy fans!
