["The Gift" has] one of the most poignant moments of Joss Whedon's hit television show.

The introduction of Dawn as a new character jarred with me.

Season five brought out the big mythology that Buffy had been building towards throughout its run, and, in most ways, it didn't disappoint.

I'm not sure, though, that the show itself came to terms with death until its fifth season, when Buffy's mother, Joyce (Kristine Sutherland), died. That episode, "The Body," is possibly the finest hour of television I've seen, bar none.

The season has a brilliant overarching story, with Glory as an incredibly powerful Big Bad, but also a super fun one.

Buffy bit off way more than it could chew with Glory, revealing her true nature too early and then changing its minds from episode to episode...It's a waste of Clare Kramer at best.

This was another solid season that took plenty of risks. It dragged a little, however. Without the container of a school year, seasons started to meander a bit. I appreciated that they paid off things foreshadowed in Season 4.

Buffy and her friends continue to grow as characters and, as always, it is fun to watch their adventures. All of the characters are in top form and watching them face new and more serious challenges then before makes for some great entertainment.

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" remains fresh and unpredictable, as it begins its fifth season, because it's always challenging its cast and its audience by shaking up the status quo.

WB's ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' has yet to be taken seriously -- to be removed from the status of cult entertainment. Yet the show is a knockout: as much as ''The West Wing,'' it demonstrates what television can accomplish.
