Meet Willow (Alyson Hannigan), the world's coolest witch,
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 these DVDs 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.
Willow's disc has the episodes:
Phases
The gang tries to save a werewolf from a poacher; Oz makes
the startling discovery that he is the werewolf in question.
Doppelgangland
Anya wreaks havoc again when a spell goes awry, bringing Willow's
vampire doppelgänger into the Buffy-verse.
Wild
At Heart
Oz and Willow's relationship is up in arms when Oz is powerfully
drawn to a female werewolf.
New
Moon Rising
Oz returns to Sunnydale and is captured by the Initiative
during a full moon; a conflicted Willow tells Buffy about
her new relationship with Tara.
These
are good episodes in their own right, but not some of Willow's
best - Doppelgangland being the exception!
Phases
was good yes, as was Wild at Heart but New Moon
Rising is very average as Buffy eps go. It seems
a bit of an angst ridden collection, and with Oz playing such
a strong role in most of them, it would seem that this doubles
as an Oz collection too! Willow did lots of very cool stuff
that could merit an addition to this collection - and many
of them she did without Oz!
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!
