Haunting of a different kind comes in the excellent "Conversations with Dead People" (one of the show's most terrifying episodes ever) where a mysterious song is making Spike kill again in spite of his soul and his chip. Giles turns up in "Bring on the Night" and Buffy has to fight one of the deadliest vampires of her career in "Showtime". In "Potential" Dawn faces a fundamental reassessment of her purpose in life. This is a spectacular start to Buffy's last year as the consequences of earlier actions unfold in a string of surprises and shocks punctuated as always by some of the funniest lines on television. --Roz Kaveney

Watch as buffy and the scoobies develop into adulthood. In the first half of this season they ask themselves who they are, in the second half they are more well established in their personas.

Stand out episodes include "Same Time Same Place" (in which Willow returns to Sunnydale only to find she can't see the scoobies and they can't see her, even though they are at the same place at the same time!), and "Conversations With Dead People" (which is probably best described as the "Once more with feeling", or "hush" episode of the season; Buffy talks with a vamp, willow experiences a haunting, and willow gets a message from the grave). The only bad part of this episode, and season, was it was the only episode in buffy history to have Xander abscent.

What a great season! Buy this on video or wait for the dvd (for those who have this option) - it's more than worth the buy.

My faviourite episodes are: Conversations with dead people
Showtime
Bring on the night
lessons
and him

All the cast and crew deserve a pat on the back for their work here
