But the same would happen if that girl became a Slayer anyway. There is the chance that any of the girls could have become Slayers, and the CoW taken a while to find them, and then we have the same problem.

The problems with the new Chosen girls are all exactly the same as the Slayer line itself, so the only way to eradicate all the problems is to eradicate the Slayer line, and I dont think thats a great resolution to the story, even if it appears to be easier.

Also, I think that being the only one in the world (or meant to be) is a lot harder than being one of many. Sure its still tough. Thats where the stories are. But with help, support, none of them will have to feel alone, because theyre not meant to be, and there will be others in the same situation. Others that see them as girls, rather than weapons.

I never thought it was about leading a normal life. I dont think Buffy is going to, and I think it undermines the empowerment theme if it shows that thats the best thing for her. Instead she's going to live a life with powers, and help and be fight with similar (and those girls always had every chance they're powers would grow and they would be alone to deal with it in the new situation).
