If anyone would like Buffy S3 tapes -- taped off of FX, when they first aired on FX (there were fewer cuts in the first airing) -- e-mail me at my profile addy, and they're yours.

So, I've been pondering the spell at the end of Chosen and how magic always has consequences and why there was only one slayer in every generation. And also wondering about when future potentials will get their powers - puberty? birth? conception? We know that when a slayer dies, anotehr won't be called any more. Where will new slayers come from?
What if new slayers don't come?
What if spreading the power around to all the potentials put a full stop to the slayer line?
It fits with what Mel is told in Fray, if that's taken as a mythologized version of the historical event. Not sure how much I should talk about that in this thread.
And just imagine the dramatic potential of the last surviving slayer some time in the future. The rest have been killed or died of natural causes and it's become clear that there aren't gonna be any more. One girl in all the world, baby.

With OMWF, my particular fanwank was that it was Willow. Much more of a character thing, plus the telepathy, she could have asked Xander to take the blame. Plus the thing that she doesn't sing.
I could add a snarky thing about the rape therefore implicit in sleeping with Tara while she was under the influence of two mind altering spells not being out of character either, but that would just demonstrate how bitter I am that no one took that spell all that seriously.

Some of us did, I can assure you of that. But I think that's not who you meant.

Thanks for all the fish.
Oh, I'm very bothered by the rape.

Oh, I'm in the camp that at least thinks it'll be a long time before the Slayer power recharges from what Willow did to it. However, considering that one Slayer has been sufficient to avert apocalypses in the past and at least keep vampires from unrestrained population explosion, I think that hundreds or thousands of them should be able to sweep the earth clean of everything less than D'Hoffryn-level monsters.
