As for the other potentials suddenly empowered, part of it was the Dark Horse slayers, as mentioned earlier. Part of it is the fact that the FE was wrong. That there was never a finite number of potentials. That it would have to keep fighting slayers for-bloody-ever.
And I would hope there is an age limit. The little Girl on the baseball team being the cut off age. She also might look younger, because she so small... :)
This also leads to more potentials being out there when they get to baseball!Slayer age.
And you know? Somebody has to teach them all what they can do with their new power. It is going to take all the resources and the Watcher's bank accounts in Geneva to do this.
And Giles is the man for the job. And the slayers. And the scoobs.
Wes could be helpful, too....heh
I had to skip a bunch, or I'd never be able to participate in the conversation. But I did catch victor's list of season endings & thought of another way to resolve this one:
Season Five: Buffy dies/Buffy gets to live her life for real.
Buffy chooses to no longer be THE Slayer.
At the very end, I really expected a human Spike to crawl out of the pit of Sunnydale.
Whoa. No idea who said this (because hello! skipping!) but I pictured the exact same thing. And yes, Daniel, I tried out both the unclothed options.
Turok Hans
I'm not sure they really thought the implications of this name -- I mean, when we thought it was just one Turok Han, he was a primitive nasty-looking hard-to-kill vampire. But in the plural? He's all that, but he's also Bavarian.
I love the schmoop.
Me too. As long as it's been earned. Joyce and Spike have definitely earned some schmoop. Especially for the reaction when Spike brought flowers after her death.
But I was waiting for a little more between the two of them. Andrew grabbing him in a hug or something.
I don't see Andrew being that assertive. Now, Xander literally crying on Andrew's shoulder, I could see.
And I would hope there is an age limit.
DH was picturing the potential nightmare of extra bratty 4 year olds with super powers.
He's all that, but he's also Bavarian.
BWAH! Can I tag just this bit?
he's also Bavarian
Turok Hanii? Hana? Hanoi?
Turok Hanii? Hana? Hanoi?
Turok Hans. Hans! Hans in new . . . oh, never mind.
I don't see Andrew being that assertive. Now, Xander literally crying on Andrew's shoulder, I could see.
This would work. And Andrew being startled, then slowly putting his arms around Xander as tears welled up in his own eyes.
