The switch to UPN infused the series with a new look and style that I liked a lot. Buffy returns from the grave and starts a compelling and believable relationship with Spike (In his best season). The three nerds are the best villians in the series in my mind, they are hilarious. Spike interigating them with a Boba Fett action figure is priceless, as is the Millenium Falcon painted on the side of their covert ops van (With a horn that plays the Star Wars theme). Buy this season for the brilliant musical episode, "Once More, With Feeling" and stay for the evil Willow story arc which ends the season. A must have for all fans and another good starting place for newbies.
