| | Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Complete Fourth Season | PopMatters Television Review |
 | | Adventurous, uneven, and often brilliant, these 22 episodes (presented in their original aspect ratio of 1.33, with note from Whedon, explaining that this is how the shows were conceived at the time), work through all sorts of tangles. |
 | | Faith's diabolical plan (set in motion by the Mayor's legacy to her, a magic gizmo) is to swap bodies with Buffy, to have the family she's never had, the friends, the respect, and the devotion that wild, parentless child Faith would never admit wanting but can't help but covet. |
 | | While this episode grants Gellar and Dushku the chance to play one another's characters (with fine results), the other famous moment here is the sex scene for Willow and Tara, intercut with a scene where Faith seduces Riley, in Buffy's body. |
