BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER - SEASON THREE - Individual Base Card from the Base Set issued by Inkworks in 1999

Buffythe Vampire Slayer is an American supernatural drama televisionseries based on the 1992 film of the same name. It was created byJoss Whedon under his production tag, Mutant Enemy Productions, withlater co-executive producers being Jane Espenson, David Fury, DavidGreenwalt, Doug Petrie, Marti Noxon, and David Solomon.

The series premiered onMarch 10, 1997, on The WB and concluded on May 20, 2003, on UPN. Theseries narrative follows Buffy Summers (played by Sarah MichelleGellar), the latest in a line of young women known as \"VampireSlayers\", or simply \"Slayers\". In the story, Slayersor the \'Chosen Ones\' are \"called\" (chosen by fate) tobattle against vampires, demons, and other forces of darkness. Buffywants to live a normal life, but as the series progresses, she learnsto embrace her destiny. Like previous Slayers, Buffy is aided by aWatcher, who guides, teaches, and trains her. Unlike herpredecessors, Buffy surrounds herself with a circle of loyal friendswho become known as the \"Scooby Gang\".

The series receivedcritical and popular acclaim, frequently being listed as one of thegreatest TV shows of all time, and usually reached between four andsix million viewers on original airings. Although such ratings arelower than successful shows on the \"big four\" networks(ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox), they were a success for the relatively newand smaller WB Television Network.

Thesuccess of Buffy has led to hundreds of tie-in products,including novels, comics, and video games. The series has receivedattention in fandom (including fan films), parody, and academia, andhas influenced the direction of other television series. The series,as well as its spinoff series Angel, and extensions thereof,have been collectively termed the \"Buffyverse\". As of 2018,a reboot of the series is being developed for television, with MonicaOwusu-Breen as Summers (played bySarah Michelle Gellar) is the \"Slayer\", one in a long lineof young women chosen by fate to battle evil forces. This mysticalcalling endows her with powers that dramatically increase physicalstrength, endurance, agility, accelerated healing, intuition, and alimited degree of clairvoyance, usually in the form of propheticdreams. She has returned from death twice and is known as a reluctanthero who wants to live a normal life. However, she learns to embraceher destiny as the vampire slayer.

Buffy receives guidancefrom her Watcher, Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head). Giles, rarelyreferred to by his first name (it is later revealed that in hisrebellious younger days he went by \"Ripper\"), is a memberof the Watchers\' Council, whose job is to train and guide theSlayers. Giles researches the supernatural creatures that Buffy mustface, offers insights into their origins and advice on how to defeatthem, and helps her train to stay in fighting form.

Buffy is also helped byfriends she meets at Sunnydale High: Willow Rosenberg (AlysonHannigan) and Xander Harris (Nicholas Brendon). Willow is originallya wallflower who excels at academics, providing a contrast to Buffy\'soutgoing personality and less-than-stellar educational record. Theyshare the social isolation that comes with being different, andespecially from being exceptional young women. As the seriesprogresses, Willow becomes a more assertive character and a powerfulwitch, and comes out as a lesbian. In contrast, Xander, with nosupernatural skills but very athletic, provides comic relief and agrounded perspective. It is Xander who often provides the heart tothe series, and in season six, becomes the hero in place of Buffy whodefeats the \"Big Bad\". Buffy and Willow are the onlycharacters who appear in all 144 episodes; Xander is missing in onlyone.

The cast of characters grewover the course of the series. Buffy first arrives in Sunnydale withher mother, Joyce Summers (portrayed by Kristine Sutherland), whofunctions as an anchor of normality in the Summers\' lives even aftershe learns of Buffy\'s role in the supernatural world (\"Becoming,Part Two\"). Buffy\'s younger sister Dawn Summers (MichelleTrachtenberg) is introduced in season five (\"Buffy vs.Dracula\"). A vampire tortured with a soul in return for horrificdeeds committed in the past to many, including a young gypsy girl andher family, Angel (portrayed by David Boreanaz), is Buffy\'s loveinterest throughout the first three seasons. He leaves Buffy as hebelieves he isn\'t good enough for her. He goes on to make amends forhis sins and to search for redemption in his own spin-off, Angel.He makes several guest appearances in the remaining seasons,including the last episode.

At Sunnydale High, Buffymeets several other students besides Willow and Xander willing tojoin her fight for good, an informal group eventually tagged the\"Scooby Gang\" or \"Scoobies\". Cordelia Chase(Charisma Carpenter), the archetypal shallow cheerleader, reluctantlybecomes involved. Daniel \"Oz\" Osbourne (Seth Green), afellow student, rock guitarist and werewolf, joins the group throughhis relationship with Willow. Jenny Calendar (Robia LaMorte),Sunnydale\'s computer science teacher, joins the group after helpingdestroy a demon trapped in cyberspace during season 1. She laterbecomes Giles\' love interest. Anya (Emma Caulfield), a formervengeance demon (Anyanka) who specialized in avenging scorned women,becomes Xander\'s lover after losing her powers and joins the group inseason four.

In Buffy\'s senior year athigh school, she meets Faith (Eliza Dushku), the other currentSlayer, who was \"called\" forth when Slayer Kendra Young(Bianca Lawson) was killed by vampire Drusilla (Juliet Landau), inseason two. Although Faith initially fights on the side of good withBuffy and the rest of the group, she comes to stand against them andsides with Mayor Richard Wilkins (Harry Groener) after accidentallykilling a human in season three. She reappears briefly in the fourthseason, looking for vengeance, and moves to Angel where shevoluntarily goes to jail for her murders. Faith reappears in seasonseven of Buffy, after having helped Angel and his crew, andfights alongside Buffy against The First Evil.

Buffy gathers other allies:Spike (James Marsters), a vampire, is an old companion of Angelus(Angel) and one of Buffy\'s major enemies in early seasons, althoughthey later become allies and lovers. At the end of season six, Spikeregains his soul. Spike is known for his Billy Idol-style peroxideblond hair and his black leather coat, stolen from a previous Slayer,Nikki Wood; her son, Robin Wood (D. B. Woodside), joined the group inthe final season. Tara Maclay (Amber Benson) is a fellow member ofWillow\'s Wicca group during season four, and their friendshipeventually turns into a romantic relationship. Buffy becomes involvedpersonally and professionally with Riley Finn (Marc Blucas), amilitary operative in \"the Initiative\", which hunts demonsusing science and technology. The final season sees geekywannabe-villain Andrew Wells (Tom Lenk) come to side with theScoobies after initially being their captive/hostage; they regard himmore as a nuisance than an ally.

Buffy featureddozens of recurring characters, both major and minor. For example,the \"Big Bad\" (villain) characters were featured for atleast one season (for example, Glory is a character who appeared in12 episodes, spanning much of season five). Similarly, characters whoallied themselves to the group and characters who attended the sameinstitutions were sometimes featured in multiple episodes.

Gellarwas given a partial scholarship to study at the Columbia Grammar &Preparatory School, as her mother was not able to pay full tuition,for which she was constantly bullied. She said in an interview withThe Independent: \"I was different and that\'s the onething you can\'t be at school, because you\'re ostracised. I didn\'thave the money these kids had\". Gellar was not present in classfor most of the time at the school as she had to work in severalacting projects simultaneously, recalling that she \"had moreabsences in the first month than you\'re supposed to have for anentire year. I was telling them that I had back problems and had togo to the doctor the whole time\". Gellar then briefly attendedthe Fiorello H.
