this should probably be in another thread, but i took the chance and posted it here. i know the Mod's will make it right! 😀
ok, so i was watching 'Damage' last night, you know, the Angel ep with the psycho Slayer, Dana, who cuts off Spike's hands.
so i was watching that, and all her little flashes of memory of the other Slayers lives, liek Nikki, and Xin-Rong, and it occured to me that Dana seems slightly more connected to the whole Slayer line than buffy, Faith or Kendra ever did. i mean they weren't running around speaking the final words of dying Slayers. and as far as we know, neither are any of the other newbies.
granted, this could be because of Dana's unstable mental state, but what if that's not all it is?
what if, somehow during Willow's spell, the status of 'Active Slayer' passed to Dana, from Buffy and/or Faith? meaning, the one who has to die for the next Slayer to be Called.
it could explain why there are no Slayers by Fray's time. Dana was probably locked away by the Council. i'm guessing that they could do nothing for her, her mind was already broken when she was activated, and adding Slayer strength to the mix wasn't the best idea. so Giles and the other Watchers would have kept her safe and well, if not exactly sane, where she might have lived well into little old lady-hood...and therefore, there was no new Slayer Called after the demons had been wiped out by whatever did that.
and by the time Dana died, there would have been no reason to go looking for a new Chosen One as there were no demons left for her to fight, which is how we progress to Fray.
i don't know if my ramblings made any sense or not to you guys, but it was just something that occured to me, and something i could maybe see happening.
