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

 surprisingly a really great season March 20, 2010
Jamie L. Crafton
this seeing was surprisingly a really good season, especially for the last season of the show.
alot of people didn't agree with that, thought it was weak and not as good as previous seasons but I really enjoyed it. yes, it was dark, but going from six, it would have to be. I thought that season seven was the season that buffy had become the slayer..she no longer needed giles' help or even willow for that matter. she had her own army and she was in command. and yes, she made mistakes. that's what I liked about the season and I really enjoyed the ending to what could've been the ending. if they would've just ended it like in five, I think it would've been predictable. but they did such a great job with the ending. it was such a good sendoff season.
Has One of the Best Episodes..in my Op :) January 10, 2010

I am a avid Buffy fan since day one- when i saw season 7 I thought the same thing as when I saw season 5 + 6- little iffy then-------- LOVE IT. Joss is a fn genius. The cast grows up- I think fans get stuck in the past and don't want to accept a dif. buffy/Xan/wil etc. I think N.F (Caleb) does a remarkable job- a new generation 'mayor'- and 'Lies mY Parents told mE' is one of the best Es EVER. -------------EVERRRRRRRRRRRR. Sad it's over but happy with how it ended here. :)
A Fine Last Season December 14, 2009

A Great end to one of my favorite shows I must say Buffy is one of the few show out of the many I have watched that gave me a finale that I was left satisfied, I Mean very satisfied where even in the end where there we're questions unanswered they we're answered in a way.
And the last frame will have you smiling and satisfied that you invested all this time to a great show few shows can say they have as great as an end as Buffy but they don't so definitely get this one!
THE SEVENTH AND FINAL SEASON GOES OUT WITH A BANG..... December 5, 2009
JR (East Harlem)
So it all comes to end, and boy does it ever! Season 7, the final season of Buffy goes out with a real bang, though not on the level of perfection that Whedon achieved at the end of Season 5, but close enough. Season 5 was supposed to be the end. Seasons 6 and 7 were spared by UPN, and Joss Whedon and crew were given the green light. So this is essentially the second ending of the series. And As always, there seems to be that one episode that knocks your socks off and creates an instant classic, this one being "Conversations with Dead People" This one ranks with Hush, Once more with Feeling, and other classic episodes, abliet more subtley. Overall for the first half of the season you do not get a villain more terrifying then Kaleb being controlled by the first. It looks real bad for the scooby gang, and it gets worse. He treats them like rag dolls for a good part of the series. Ultimatley however, there are two vital connections that make this final season so important, The First, or the first evil. Willow and Buffy in and of themselves have thrown the balance out of life and death out of sync, and the first wants to teach everyone but, especially Buffy, a lesson about messing with the balance. Overall and exciting, sobering season that will leave you breathless, excited, but maybe, depending, not all together satisfied. But Joss does it better then anyone, and in the link of all seven seasons, your eyes will be glued to the screen. Great TV. "Chosen" rocked!!!! The DVD package is solid, and packed with great extras, including easter eggs, and the commentaries and documentaries are spot on. This is a wondeful DVD, and a wonderful tribute to this series. For Many of us, this is where the series ended before it became a comic book for season 8, I prefere to remember it the way it was.
