peroxidepirateA thread on green_maia 's journal inspired me to post my first-ever poll. Maia's question was whether BtVS would have been a better show if it ended with S5 -- and naturally, that segued into commentary on the final ending of the show in S7. Now I'm curious. And rather than threadjacking over there, I thought I'd start my own poll. Two questions, pretty straightforward. For question 2, check as many answers as you want. For both questions, there's an "other" option in case you don't agree with any of the answers. And please feel free to comment! Also, since my F-list is tiny, I'd love it if anyone wants to link this. I want to know what people think.

DAWN: We'll have to find them.
WILLOW: We will.
So, they miscalculated. Or rather, I suspect, the Watchers' Council miscalculated - it was them who were supposed to keep track of Potentials, and Giles was using their records to track them down and send them to Sunnydale. With its usual efficiency, the Council managed to miss at least 1800 Potentials...

Date: 2009-07-09 01:00 pm (UTC)The watchers miscalculated, ok, I get that, like you say it wouldn't be the first time, but what a HUGE mistake! You can miss a few hundred, but 1800? But they weren't the only ones tracking the potentials, the bringers were too, how could they miss 1800 slayers?
I seems most likely that the writers forgot the original plot when they wrote that part.
