In the episode Revelations, Giles asks Gwendolyn Post if Faith is her first Slayer, implying that Buffy isn't his. This had me wondering about his first Slayer, and as I speculated and rewatched, I built a theory.
Remember how serious Giles was about the Order of Taraka in What's My Line? Remember how strict he was with Buffy at first, which seemed odd to me after discovering what kind of things he'd done as a teenager? I put this together:
Giles had a Slayer when he was fairly young that he was (or thought he was) a little too relaxed with. She was killed by the Order of Taraka. He was, according to this theory, determined not to make the same mistake with Buffy, but soon found out that he would have to relax his methods a bit. Try watching What's My Line with this in mind, and it makes much more sense that he freaks out about them.
Any thoughts, additions, criticisms, corrections?
