Of course Giles got fired because after the vamp got away he told her about the test (Which he viewed as archaic and barbaric, but went along because well he was a Watcher) Surviving the test is passing it.And yes the council are a bunch of arrogent SoBs. Which makes us love to hate them. Officialy when Buffy graduated High School she quit the council and no longer follow their orders. There was an episode in season 5 where the counsil returns for more tests (in exchange for some needed info on the Big Bad), but in the end Buffy really put them in thier place, pretty much stating what you said, I'm the slayer, your the watchers, I save the world, you need me..ect.  It was pretty cool. I'm really looking forward to this coming season...we may see more of the origins of the slayer and the coucil's roll in all of it.</blockquote>
