From the essay P-C linked:
The show lost focus over its last two seasons, and while all the hardcore fans I’d come to know and love kept watching, the spark was gone, and the fire was in the process of going out. The mythology warped and twisted back along itself until Buffy Summers, the girl who once railed against the unfairness of being Chosen, looked at a squadron of girls who were just like she’d been and took away their right to Choose. It was an interesting statement about becoming the evil we fight against, and it hurt to see it made.
As much as I grew tired of the entire Potentials storyline (knowing that the series was ending I wanted to spend time with the characters I loved, not with this teeming mass of anonymous girls that I really didn't care about) that wasn't my take on the situation.... I thought the very fact that they were Potential Slayers meant they had no choice as to their destinies (they had targets on their backs and were being forced to fight because of it), but that Buffy offered them the choice as to whether or not they wanted to become full-fledged Slayers right then and there.
I have no real opinion on this book but since I've gotten other books from them several times, I can say that Mad Norwegian Press is good people.
(So there!)
I always wonder if these were people I was mean to in the Bronze back when i was all BNF.
Buffy offered them the choice as to whether or not they wanted to become full-fledged Slayers right then and there.
But what about everyone else? I never saw it as a bad thing until she framed it that way, but it's true that little baseball girl didn't get to choose to have superpowers, she had them thrust upon her.

I did like Chicks Dig Time Lords.
Even after reading this thread, I still don't remember who the "eve" was?

Proof positive: least memorable recurring character ever.
I had NO idea who Eve was until someone made the connection to Lindsay.
That is pretty startling, given how well I know the entire series...much more so than Buffy, truth to tell.
So, yeah. Worst cast, least memorable recurring character ever. Even at the time, I wondered if that actress was someone's niece, or had pictures of the producers with small, furry animals.

Except for that other one, you know, with the face and the thing,

See, this is the problem with the category: Least Memorable.
Tough to verify.
I started to wrack my brain...then I remembered bt's sense of humor, chuckled and gave up.
