Editorial Review:
As Buffy acompanies Dawn on her first date at the new Sunnydale High, Giles continues Willow's magic education in England. But while Buffy is surprised to be offered a guidance counselor job, Willow is shocked to experience a horrific future vision of the Hellmouth.
Willow returns to Sunnydale and Giles soon follows with word that the Watcher's Council has been destroyed. Determined to make one last stand, Buffy and her allies gather for the upcoming battle, yet nothing can prepare them for The First and his robed Bringers, who are killing all the Potential Slayers- and anyone else who gets in their way.
Description of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Complete Seventh Season:
The seventh and final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer begins with a mystery: someone is murdering teenage girls all over the world and something is trying hard to drive Spike mad. Buffy is considerably more cheerful in these episodes than we have seen her during the previous year as she trains Dawn and gets a job as student counselor at the newly rebuilt Sunnydale High. Willow is recovering from the magical addiction which almost led her to destroy the world, but all is not yet well with her, or with Anya, who has returned to being a Vengeance demon in "Same Time, Same Place" and "Selfless," and both women are haunted by their decisions.
Haunting of a different kind comes in the excellent "Conversations with Dead People" (one of the show's most terrifying episodes ever), in which 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.
Buffy was always a show about female empowerment, but it was also a show about how ordinary people can decide to make a difference alongside people who are special. And it was also a show about people making up for past errors and crimes. So, for example, we have the excellent episodes "Storyteller", in which the former geek/supervillain Andrew sorts out his redemption while making a video diary about life with Buffy; and "Lies My Parents Told Me," in which we find out why a particular folk song sends Spike crazy. Redemption abounds as Faith returns to Sunnydale and the friends she once betrayed, and Willow finds herself turning into the man she flayed. Above all, this was always Buffy's show: Sarah Michelle Gellar does extraordinary work here both as Buffy and as her ultimate shadow, the First Evil, who takes her face to mock her. This is a fine ending to one of television's most remarkable shows. --Roz Kaveney
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Complete Seventh Season Reviews:
Great Series Ender 
2009-05-15 - The final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was pretty good considering most series end without warning or preparation. Story lines were wrapped up pretty neatly, but with the ability to continue on (in Season 8 - the comic book). It was sad to see some characters go, but the series had a great run, and left fans eager to get more from Joss Whedon.
My only gripe is with the DVD production itself. There is a special features featurette on the third or fourth disc that gives away the end of the series (it literally shows the final scene). Be warned. If you are a first time Buffy watcher, skip the special features until you've completed the series.
Excellent
2009-05-14 - This transaction went very well. The product was in the exact condition the seller said it would be in. The seller nitofied me when the product had been shipped and about what time it would be arriving, and the product arrived earlier than the seller had said! I would buy from this seller again!
buffy ruled!
2008-12-02 - I loved Buffy The Vampire Slayer I really miss that show, here's hoping for an eventual reunion movie
quick shipper 
2008-10-05 - I was impressed to see how fast this item was shipped to me. Thank you so much.
What's not to like????
2008-10-02 - Everything I've read in fans' reviews of season 7 of Buffy sounds like a bad breakup with an ex-lover! I'm not going to go on & on over inconsistencies(in what's probably one of the most consistent shows on t.v.) or the lackluster series finale(which in my opinion was the best finale ever!). Every year I watched, I felt I grew along with these exceptionally complex characters. I think the erudite Joss Whedon did justice to his beloved heroine's adventures. If you are a true fan and can wrap your brain around what he accomplished , you will appreciate this season as much as any other. Deserves a closer look. Pick it up.
