The line sounds funny to me because I associate it with comedy stuff (I learned that phrase with comedy. I thought is a "joke line") but I didn't thought about the - oh my God, so spot on - implications.

The slayers' succession is something creepy and when I read people who bash Buffy because of what she did in Chosen I really can't believe my eyes: she broke the chain that brought so much death on so many people. Also it's really unfair and it's very convenient, if you think about it, for the Council: without the previous slayer there's not example nor guide. There's no previous experience. Every slayer is like an only child without mother and has to rebuilt her power starting with nothing. They could easily use the new orphan slayer, because no one will protect her.

I'm upset by Buffy and Xin Rong (Is that her name? I didn't know it!) death. Well, I'm upset for Buffy for reasons you can imagine. Nikki's death upsets me on a totally different level mostly because there's Robin involved and all the hate he gets from her death, for his own self, for his mother and the vampire who killed her. It's really seems SO unfair.
