Thinking about characterisation here:

We all know about Faith - who went over to the 'dark' side...but we don't know what would've happened if she'd kept going..

And I just wonder if the source of Slayer power - as it's rooted in darkness - isn't RELATED to vampire power..and so, in theory, the balance can swing the other way...

So in this suggestion - the Slayer isn't so much a Vampire...as a demon. And it holds angst possibilities for Faith or Buffy- esp if one of them started, in the earlier episodes to Slip a little (I'm thinking Buffy...cos Faith's back on the road)...

Just an idea

What if a she was already a vampire when she was called as a slayer?

I mean why does it have to be someone alive that is called as the slayer. Could we have such a thing as a vampire slayer in training?

Dead SITS would immediately be passed over. So its impossible. The vamping would have to happen after. Personally I think we should just stick to a vampire slayer. Why complicate things even more when we're almost finalized with the storyline?

Not to be snarky, but it all seems very murky and disjointed...where's the link to the characters...We really don't want to pull a season 4 here, do we folks?

I just think some relevence to the evil through the SG is needed...and this idea just progressed on that
