Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Script Book Season Three #2
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Script Book, Season Three, Volume 2
"If I'm not the Slayer, I mean...what do I have to offer?"
-- Buffy Summers, "Helpless"
Only in Sunnydale could a new watcher be a harbinger of badness, and only the Hellmouth could offer refuge for a lovelorn vampire. But as Cordelia Chase learns when she wishes otherwise, life in Sunnydale could be a lot worse. Like, if Buffy the Vampire Slayer had never come to town, for example. Buffy has saved her friends -- heck, she's saved the world -- more than once, and even those loath to face the reality of things-that-go-bump-in-the-night are thankful. But Buffy's about to learn one of her most difficult lessons how to beat the baddies as just a "regular girl...." Now, don't miss a word as Angel's return is uncovered by the Scoobies, and he makes peace with his inner demons, and as Willow and Xander, respectively, grapple with their feelings for one another as well as their place among the group. Complete with production notes, inside jokes, cut dialogue, and more, these scripts will slay you! Dig "Revelations," "Lovers Walk," "The Wish," "Amends," "Gingerbread," "Helpless," and "The Zeppo."

This book collects the second six scripts from the third season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Reading the scripts allows you to experience the story itself without having your opinion or perception swayed by the appearance of the actors, the sound of the music, the lighting or direction or other production values, or anything other than what was captured by the writer on the page. It's also interesting to spot differences from the original vision from what was finally realized on screen, reading the occasionally amusing stage directions, etc. The scripts range in dating from September to November of 1998, but still read as fresh and vibrant, as I said of all the previous volumes. The stories include Revelations, Lovers Walk, The Wish, Amends, Gingerbread, Helpless, and The Zeppo. Buffy's friends learn that Angel is back, and they have to deal with that, on top of trying to cope with their feelings for one another. And Faith is there, and the Mayor and Spike, and Amy's a rat, and it's a whole big glorious soap opera thing, except with death and demons and really excellent, witty writing.

As with the others in this series this book consists of scripts. The main events include:
When Drusilla met Angel.
Giles and Ms. Calendar go on a date.
Ford and Spike talk.
There are some that actually worship vampires.
Some of Giles backstory.
Zombies.
Spike sends for bounty hunters to kill Buffy.
A robot.
Egg children.
I still like this series. It's fun reading the script of a show you actually saw.
