(More customer reviews)The two-part "Graduation Day" that ended the third season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer provides the final volume in The Slayer Chronicles, which focuses on Faith the Rogue Slayer joining the Mayor in his Ascension. Both parts were written and directed by series creator Joss Whedon. Part 1 has Faith shooting Angel with a poisoned arrow. The only cure is the blood of a Slayer, which sends Buffy after Faith for a fatal duel to the death. Part 2 finds Buffy having to deal with the consequences of her battle with Faith and the Mayor's Ascension, when he will turn into a 60-foot demon serpent. Also on the agenda is graduating high school, if only Buffy, the Scooby Gang and the rest of their class can survive the ceremony. The final note of fun is that after the dust settles, Angel will be leaving Sunnydale for good.
After ending the second season of Buffy with the two-parts of "Becoming," wherein the series reached its absolute height, it is still impressive to see what Whedon was able to come up with for season three. The idea of Faith as a Rogue Slayer was a good one all by itself, but putting it together with the Mayor's quest for eternal power was a masterstroke. We should stop being surprised by such things from Whedon, but we should not stop being appreciative of his efforts. The man does quality work.
