Meet Spike (James Masters), the baddest vampire in Sunnydale,
as the Slayer Collection brings together four great
episodes from some of your favourite Buffy characters...
These
DVDs seem more like a rip-off than a favour to fans, as most
of the people that are likely to buy them will already have
a close to complete Buffy episode collection at home
already!
Either
way, here they are, a selection of DVDs with four episodes
that someone at Fox has classed as the best! Personally I
think they may be wrong, but this comes down to personal taste.
Spike's disc has the episodes:
School
Hard
Spike
and Drusilla come to town, and Spike invades Parent-Teacher
night.
Lie
to Me
Buffy's childhood crush comes to town, but he's not looking
to reminisce - he's looking for immortality as a vampire.
Lovers
Walk
A broken-hearted Spike returns without Drusilla; relationships
are torn apart due to a liaison between two members of the
gang.
Fool
For Love
When Buffy forces Spike to recount how he was able to kill
two Slayers, his flashbacks reveal his first meeting with
Drusilla.
These
are good episodes in their own right, but not the best - it
seems like screen time is more of an issue when these were
picked. Lovers Walk is a good one, even though it's
a weepy, as it was an important episode for Spike on his return
to Sunnydale without Dru, and also had some classic comedy
moments from the peroxide one.
With
some of the average episodes the package contains you'd think
that Fox would make it up to us with some brilliant extras
but again they come up short with the goods.
All
each disc contains is a Buffy/Angel DVD trailer and
a short 10 minute, if that, 'character profile' which consists
of some cut and pasted interviews (with some parts fans might
recognise from past Buffy DVD extras plus some snippets
from the pre-contained episodes.
Worth
it? I don't think so, unfortunately the majority of fans will
get these just to complete their sets. Shame on you Fox -
the show is great but fans deserve something better than some
already released episodes and a couple of shoddy extras!
