[QUOTE="zyzzyr, post: 900870, member: 1867"] Hmm, I hadn't really thought of it that way. Two catches, though: they did show at least 3 or 4 non-characters (NPCs?) who obviously became Slayers. Even if you assume a few others (maybe 20 in total?) and it's still way more than can be handled by one world. 1. I believe that it is possible, unconfirmed, that "Joyce" was really the First, trying to sow discord. I don't believe that - I think likely that it meant she chose Spike as champion over Dawn ... ? 2. See "alternate script" stuff below. 3. I had thought that the "break in the Slayer line" which is being referred to was that the existence of TWO Slayers meant that evil had to be upped to balance good and evil: hence, the First comes back. Now that the First is gone, and there are many Slayers ... Good is overweighing big-time. My own points ... What is this "alternate script" floating out on the web? (search for trogdor + buffy on google, it will come up). I assume it is a false script that Joss leaked to throw people off the trail, or possibly one of the "fake" scripts written to keep the ending in suspense? If there are elements of truth in it, then you can read it to get some resolution to other things ... 1) The First tries to sing to Spike during the battle. Spike says "I don't like that song no more," and the First's plan is foiled. Spike actually *hits* the First (but the First actually hits Buffy before this). 2) Dawn tries to take the amulet from Spike, believing that she should be the champion - Buffy chose Spike over Dawn. 3) Xander dies. Anya lives. 4) A hand comes out of the rubble of the school at the end of the show. 5) The First appears as Joyce during the battle. The First appears as the Caleb/Master/Glory/the Mayor/Angel during Buffy and the First's basement chat. 6) Buffy gives some sort of speech as to Dawn/Faith/Buffy being all joined together somehow, and that all three would need to die before a new Slayer is called.
