Explain to me why Buffy can't be the last slayer. I don't see what the line has to do with that.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, there is the last slayer to die, or the last slayer called, or the last slayer to be born. We know one of these things Buffy is not, but the other two are up for grabs, AFAIK.
I've long since given Joss the biggest pass in the world when it comes to logic-plotting, so it's not really an issue for me. Still, I was sorry when "My Yoda!" became obsolete, because it was just the funnest line evar.

What is even happening?

You're right, it doesn't have anything to do with that. It was the "line" line in Got Life's question that caught my eye.
I don't know what "called" even means. It doesn't seem to me that it's anything the CoW does.

I'm pretty confident she can only be one of those.

Are we to pretend it never happened? Because with the retcon sire-definition, it's still valid, and I still find it funny.

The Yoda part's still good, anyhow. They were in a little pack or whatever the collective is for vampires. Angel certainly influenced Spike's ways, I'm sure.

My mind is going to a Documentary on the problem of the Childe Gange, now.

Hey, I still hold to "Sometimes the dark is pretty dark and you need a good story", even though it was cut from reruns and the DVD.

I don't understand why Buffy couldn't be the last called slayer. All she has to do is outlive everyone called since her.
Given Death's track record with her so far, I'd say she has a good chance of evading it longer than any of the others.

Wait, they cut that from the Season 2 DVD? Clutches bulky first-run videotape collection to breast and never, ever lets go...

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

When was this? (Came into Buffy very late.)
