About a year ago, the electronics retailer BEST BUY offered an exclusive DVD set called "Buffy: Curse of the Hellmouth." I recommend this set for anyone who has taken Sharon Betcher's Post-Modernism and Pop Culture course at VST and wants greater exposure to the world of the Vampire Slayers. It is an affordable, high-quality introduction to many of the key themes and appealing characteristics of the series.
It's now being offered in a wider release, including Amazon.ca. The set includes eight episodes from across the series (though seasons 5 and 6 are not represented, season 7 is), and includes five episodes that I recently described in my personal TOP 30.
The Amazon edition becomes available in a little over a month.
Other exclusive collections offered by stores such as Best Buy and Futureshop focus on a particular character or story arc, and are less effective as introductions to the series in general.
The episodes contained in this collection are "The Pack," "Halloween," "Passion," "The Wish," "Helpless," "Fear, Itself," "Hush," and "Same Time, Same Place."
