The third season of Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer was marked by the arrival in Sunnydale of renegade slayer Faith (Eliza Dushku), a moody loner who seemed to like her demon-staking calling just a little too much. While Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) was always wary of Faith, the two developed a deep friendship and appreciative rapport--that is, until the evil mayor of Sunnydale (Harry Groener) tapped into Faith's dark side and lured her into his plot to take over the world, first as a double agent spying on Buffy, then as out-and-out nemesis. And as the mayor's ascension approached--which happened to fall on Sunnydale High's graduation day--Buffy and Faith's battles got nastier and nastier, as Buffy attempted to wrestle with her dark side (literally and figuratively), save the world and her friends, and keep her lover Angel (David Boreanaz) out of Faith's evil clutches. Chock-full of exceptional episodes, this third season started out with a bang (the superb season opener "Anne," in which a runaway Buffy finally returns to her Slayer calling) and never let up. Among other highlights, the season introduced former vengeance demon and soon-to-be regular Anya (Emma Caulfield), fleshed out Angel's tortured character (and readied him for his own series), and featured a hilarious doppelganger Willow (Alyson Hannigan), a vampire from a parallel universe, who in Willow's own words was "evil and... skanky... and kinda gay!" (Total foreshadowing there, folks.) The season's pièce de résistance, though, was the two-parter "Graduation Day," wherein Faith tries to kill Angel, and the students of Sunnydale High prepare to do battle with a mutated mayor and his army of demons. Aside from the series' exceptional writing and acting, this compelling year of Buffy was anchored by the consistently excellent Gellar, as well as Dushku's complicated Faith, a girl you truly love to hate. By the time you finish these episodes, Faith will have cast a spell on you that you'll find very hard to shake. --Mark Englehart

another great season March 20, 2010
Jamie L. Crafton
I always believed that three was one of the best seasons for simple facts that it had the perfect balance and the stories were more believable, more dark. I do believe that out of the whole series season 3 had the most balance between series and fluff episodes, From faith, to the hiliarious Mayor Wilkins..to all of the commotion with the scoobies. and not to mention the chemistry between the actors was just enjoyable to watch.
Pros:
*I liked the drama between the two slayers. how they showed how faith was raised differently and she had different ideals of what a slayer meant and buffy had her own ideas about it. and how they tried to be friends but everything got messed up.
*I loved the mayor, he is seriously one of my favorite btvs villains and he gave so much humor to season 3 and I loved the relationship between him and faith.
Cons:
*the only thing I didn't like about three was the relationship between buffy and angel. they irritated me. but I was never a fan of the couple and in three they whined and complained too much for me. But seperately I'm huge fans of both charactors. especially angel.
Must have for any Buffy Fan! January 27, 2010

The Best Season, Even Slimmer! January 13, 2010
MrAdequate (Arlington, VA United States)
These "Slim Sets" are getting even slimmer, now six discs just maybe a couple millimeters wider than a regular DVD...which RULES.
Also, what more could be said about Buffy? It rules, but this season features:
1. The best Big Bad ever, the Mayor!
2. uhh, FAITH!
3. Oz being awesome.
4. Two words: Band Candy.
Love Buffy and Angel, season 3 rocks!!!! December 28, 2009
Sharon U. Igbinomwanhia (Baton Rouge, LA)
I love this season, mostly because Angel is in this season, this season is a little darker, than season 1&2, even though I love Buffy and Angel, together, I love Angel all by himself. Kind of sad, the way Faith turned on the gang though; she was really evil to the core of her heart. Great job Joss Whedon.
Great December 5, 2009
Margaret Tomasello (Buffalo, NY United States)
This is a great season of Buffy. It is a wonderful addition to anyone's collection. I highly recommend it.
