Message: <blockquote data-quote="Green Knight" data-source="post: 353437" data-attributes="member: 2723">Here's another good one which I frequently check.  <a href="http://www.sunnydale-slayers.com/" target="_blank">http://www.sunnydale-slayers.com/</a>  Anyway, someone said that Buffy's the Slayer that's lasted the longest (I have the Buffy RPG book but didn't read that, but I think it's safe to say that that's wrong). Gotta disagree with that. In the re-run they showed earlier today on F/X, she said that Slayers don't last past the age of 25. So there have been Slayers that've lasted longer than she has. They're probably rare exceptions, as most Slayers seem to have a 5 year life span, but they exist.  As for the test, remember, all Slayers go through it when they're 18. Just because Kendra and Faith never went through it doesn't mean they weren't considered "The Slayer". They didn't go through it because they never turned 18. Kendra died before then and Faith was either in a coma, on the run, or warming a jail cell when she turned 18.  The Slayer line has since passed to Kendra and then to Faith, but that doesn't make her any less of the Slayer. Just not many instances of Slayers coming back to life after they died (Not many = Only one instance).  As for how Buffy handled resurrection, as someone else said, she was depressed for most of the season. She was in Heaven and they yanked her out of there (They had assumed she had gone to Hell). And in comparison to Heaven, Earth IS Hell. At least that's how it feels to Buffy, anyway. Her friends dragged her down into a hellish place. Having to claw your way out of your grave to find your hometown in flames with demons running rampant sure can't have helped (Must've felt to her like she HAD gone to some hell dimension, and not seemed as if she was in the real world at first).</blockquote>
