Oh yes. Once you read my post, you will realize why Comma is the man!

When Buffy died in Season One, Kendra was called. When Kendra died, Faith was called. Buffy died again in "The Gift." Shouldn't another Slayer have been called then, making a total of three Slayers in simultaneous existence?
Dana Arbeit, via email

It wasn't explained, but the rules according to Joss are that even though Buffy died twice her replacement had already been called and was still alive, so there wouldn't be a second replacement for Buffy. Does that make sense? If Kendra was Buffy's replacement, then Faith replaced Kendra. There was still a living Slayer when Buffy died the second time, so another Slayer didn't get called.

Though Marti didn't give any explaination to the events in Bargaining or Villains, it did shed some light on certain things.

When Buffy died in the Gift, Faith was still alive, thus no new Slayer. But reasoning shows that if Faith died and Buffy lived, there would be no new Slayer. The exact same thing if Buffy died (again) and Faith was alive. No new Slayer.

I guess its the line's way of trying to get back to normal. But after Chosen all that is effed up.

So now we know that Buffy still does hold power over the line. Because if Faith were to die, Buffy being the only living Slayer (because the scythe activated ones do not count), she would decide when the next true Chosen one is.

Then you have the whole bit about her being re-inserted but we atleast know she does hold power over the line now!
 
How come the First didn't attack when there were two slayers in S2? or S3? or S4? or S5? etc..

The disruption is something altogether different than having two slayers...it's because Buffy was REINSERTED into the line. Faith WAS the true slayer up until Bargaining.

My point exactly. So my question to the people who think that Faith is the active Slayer at the end of Chosen is "if that is not the case, then was was the disruption that the Eye talked about"?
 
Good point.

I doubt the First would be so stupid as to not realize that for a few years.

But I'm just gonna go with the theory that Villians allowed the First to attack the Slayerline. Because it starts a couple of months after that.

When Faith dies, a slayer is called.Faith is the active one.Only she can activate another slayer.
 
Comma good job with the 'splaining...

Didn't Buffy say in S7 somewhere that she was the last the First would kill?

When Faith dies, a slayer is called.Faith is the active one.Only she can activate another slayer.Buffy isn't the active slayer.If Buffy dies, another slayer won't be called.Somehow in season 6, Buffy was reinserted to the line.

Then answer my question - what is the disruption?

(and please, put a space between your sentences. It is really hard to read you write)
 
Yepp Cordy. She said the in "Bring on the Night". Because shes the true Slayer.

Ok my theory does have a flaw.

When Faith was called, there were two Slayers. So it doesn't make sense now what Marti said. Because if thats true, the line would have reverted back to normal in Becoming. Unless shes speaking post-Bargaining which would make sense since both Buffy & Faith would be the active Slayers.
 
Buffy died in season 5.During that time, Faith was the active slayer, and only Faith could activate another slayer.When Buffy was revived, by supernatural powers, she was reinserted into the slayer line.She became the last activated slayer.This is why the shadowmen said she was the last guardian of the hellmouth.Buffy became a slayer, AGAIN, after she got revived with magic.It caused the disruption, because two ACTIVE SLAYERS, who could activate ANOTHER SLAYER, were alive at the same time.The reason why the first didn't attack Buffy and Faith in season 3, was because there was only one active slayer, which was Faith.Buffy wasn't the active slayer.There was no disrption back then, because there was only one active and real slayer, back then.But when Buffy died in season 5, she was revived in season 6, and she was reinserted to the slayerline.This caused the disuption, because now there was TWO ACTIVE SLAYERS, alive.We learn that Buffy can activate another slayer, in the episode "Potential".When the shadowmen said that she was the last guardian of the hellmouth this is what they meant-Buffy was revived in season 7, and was revived bck into the slayer line.So Faith a current active slayer, then buffy came back, then she was the next, and last guardian of the hellmouth.I have finally explained the whole disruption.Faith was the real slayer since kendra died, but when buffy came back again, there were two real slayers, but buffy was the last guardian of the hellmouth, and the last real slayer to be activated, so that is why she is the real slayer of season 6 & 7.I hope this helps clear the whole thing🙂

Your word is not cannon...you're offering your opinion, the same as everyone else is doing.
Yeah so there goes that whole theory..kerplunk!

XxSlayerxX - Pythagore has a point, it would be much easier to read your statements if you kept your sentences with the same ideas together and to start a new paragraph when you begin a new idea...
 
I know Cord. Damn Marti Noxon and her lies!

But your not factoring in Villains. I mean if Prophecy Girl was enough to activate a new Slayer, then Villians definately would be too.

And if Buffy did hold the power to activate another Slayer, the one would have been called in Villians. And we have no proof that she wasn't.

Then you could have two active slayers and the true one who you just can't keep down.

I wish Joss could stumble upon this and solve it all.
 
Then I don't understand why you kept saying that "When Faith dies, a slayer is called.Faith is the active one.Only she can activate another slayer."

Maybe I missread your posts and you were talking about Faith pre-s7.
 
Pythagore-Yup!I was talking about Faith pre-7.I have explained the whole thing in that post.

BTW Buffy didn't die in Villians.

Buffy DIDN'T DIE in that episode.She was still alive, but DYING.In the scene where Evil Willow goes to Buffy's hospital room, you see that thing where it shows your heart beat, and Buffy's is still beating.It didn't stop.If it had stopped, then she would've been dead.Willow saved her life, cause Buffy was dying.Willow saved Buffy from dying again, by removing the bulltet, and healing her wounds.
 
Then I am sorry, XxSlayerxX. But I still don't buy it. I don't think Faith was the active slayer at the end of s7, like Buffy's comments about being the last that the First would kill seem to indicate (thanks for the people who pointed this out, I had completely forgotten about it).

So you mean the "disruption" (a word I am getting really, really tired of writing) happened when Buffy flatlined in Villians and that Anya was blaming herself and the others for causing it in vain?

Makes sense, I guess.

Well, I think we all agree that Faith was the real slayer at least before season 6.. I still think Buffy became the new real slayer in the beginning of s6, and that that was the disruption. Then I think it all makes sence.. (If you don't count Buffy dying in Villains.. I never thought she did, but I don't know now..) Seriously I think we had the best theory pages ago in this thread.. And that we're just repeating ourselves now.. The only "new" thing I've heard is that about both of them being the Chosen One in s7, but I don't really think that makes sence..
 
Well we do have a chat function...

Buffy Flatlined in Villains meaning her heart wasn't beating and in the few seconds before Willow healed her, she was literally dead...

Mh, I know.. that's the only thing that doesn't fit.. It doesn't really in any good theory.. (Could that be a mistake or are we assuming there are no mistakes..?)
 
Maybe it's a mistake, but it is there - therefor I assume that it is a part of the Buffyverse and thus it has a meaning, whatever Joss Whedon says. It's more fun that way. 😉
