A 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.

But now, if she stays at home to watch 'Veronica Mars', there are 1800 other Slayers ready to pick up the slack. So she does get a choice now. So does each of them.

No matter how many slayers there are, I don't think that's true. I think Buffy will always blame herself if she's not in the right place at the right time and someone gets killed by a demon. And I think a lot of the newly activated slayers will feel the same.

It's not reasonable and it's not fair, but there it is. There are more slayers now, which lessens the actual responsibilities for each of them: there might be times slayers patrol and don't encounter any demons. There might be cities that become completely vampire-free.

But I don't think that changes the sense of responsibility each slayer feels for the safety of her corner of the world. It's just that more corners of the world will have slayers looking out for them.

But that's just my take on it.
