The second season of Buffy The Vampire Slayer really just carries on the themes and formula found in the first season. Buffy is still coming to terms with what it means to be a Slayer and just generally the gang learn valuable lessons in metaphor rich adventures with the supernatural. One of the great things about the second season (and possibly its saving grace) is the introduction of the character Spike, a nasty vampire with affiliations to the vampire with a soul, Angel.
One of my picks from the second season is the episode Halloween. On a night when the demon world take a break for much needed rest and relaxation, Buffy and the gang get shanghaied into looking after some young trick or treaters, but all goes disastrously wrong as people start turning into their costumes. That alone should sell this episode, in my book. This episode also introduces a dark past for the fatherly librarian, Rupert Giles, which will be followed up on later in the season. And if that wasn't enough, it is also the first appearance of another of my favourite villains from the show, Ethan Rayne.
Very long back when it was telecasted on one of the TV channels at our place, it used to be one of my favourite show. And probably its one of my favourite show, i've always been a fan of vampire stories and my journey started with Buffy.
