While many Buffy fanatics criticised seasons 4,5 and 6 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer as moving away from the humour of the previous seasons, this final chapter received a reprieve and was deservedly praised for going "back to basics". Buffy finds herself once again walking the corridors of a newly rebuilt Sunnydale High, this time however as a guidance counsellor. Much of the humour in the first half of this season is reminiscent of the quirky one liners that made Buffy so popular with fans. As the season progresses, the mood turns darker as the end of the world beckons once more. A retrun of some familiar faces, and some interesting new characters makes this final season of Buffy as entertaining and interesting as ever. And the final episode does not disappoint either...
