Reeling from her battle with Angel and the emotional repercussions
of having to kill her true love, Buffy Summers flees to a
big city where she attempts to get by anonymously. But as
Buffy herself loves to remind people, trouble seems to follow
the Slayer. And there's no escaping her identity as the Chosen
One - particularly when Faith, a Chosen second, arrives in
Sunnydale...
The
script books allow you to follow along as Buffy returns to
her hometown to the lukewarm welcome of the Scooby Gang, rekindling
old bonds even as Faith ingratiates herself to the group.
The true Buffyphile knows the genius of the programme lies
in its savvy script writing, and now fans can follow along
to original shooting scripts, complete with inside jokes,
production notes and cut dialogue.
I don't really understand the interest in script books, why
don't you just get out the episode, shove on the TV and actually
watch it?! It seems however, that these books do offer something
extra, and therefore they appeal to the hard-core Buffy
fan.
Another thing to note is that season three is widely regarded
by many fans as the show's best-ever season. For example;
"The dialogue unvaryingly slick and witty... the storylines
brilliantly laid out" said The Independent in 2002.
Season
Three was a pivotal period in Buffy's development,
introducing a major new character, Faith, the rogue Slayer;
taking the show in a new and more adult direction; all the
while maintaining a sublime balance between darkness, humour
and angst.
The
seven episodes featured here run the full gamut of drama and
comedy, from Anne, Dead Man's Party and Faith,
Hope and Trick, to Homecoming, Band Candy
and Revelations. Perhaps taking the time to sit and
read the scripts, brings you a different view of the show,
and the time and effort the writers and actors put in to create
the show so many have loved. Plus with final cut dialogue
added to the book, it allows readers an insight into how each
episode was originally written.
I still find these books to be a way to con money out of fans,
yet if you do plan to get one, this would be one of the best
to buy as it has some of the shows best episodes to pick from.
