I actually liked the *idea* of the potential slayers. I thought it had.. well, potential. I think they could have had some great scenes with Willow, Xander and Giles training them. It could have been interesting to make Willow and Xander 'authority' figures as well as Buffy. A world of opportunity for humour and character-driven dialogue. Also, it would have been good to draw more on what had happened in the previous seasons. The 'potential slayers' could have been great if the idea was handled better. The characters weren't developed enough for the audience to be able to identify with them, as we had with Buffy, Willow and Xander and Giles before.


In terms of the Slayerettes... The idea was interesting but the practicalities of it meant that we didn't engage as much with the characters we'd been so fond of watching for all those years. By about half way through the season it became obvious that we had already said goodbye to the wonderful dynamic of Xander, Giles, Willow and Buffy as there was no room for them. Consequently this resulted in a sense of detachment for Buffy and her mission, (at least for me) to the extent that I just wanted the whole thing to wrap up.
As it turned out the finalé was near perfect - but arriving there didn't quite have the charm you'd have hoped for from Buffy.

Rating the seasons:

season 1-great kickoff, and introduction of what's to come. 'Prophecy Girl' and 'Out of mind, out of sight' are great. Grade-B+

Season 2-Perfect season of Buffy? Yes. 20 hours of my life I will never want back. Too many great episodes to list. In my opinion everything else after this season starts to slowly fade. Grade-A+

Season 3-Still near perfection, the third season doesn't disappoint. The Angel storyline hinders it a little though. Grade-A-

Season 4-Great season worth watching with pure fan delightedness. Grade-B

Season 5-The biggest change in the Buffy storyline. Different(much) but good. A few very standout eps make this season above average.
Grade-B-

Season 6-Yeah, it's ok. Grade-C+

Season 7-Where to start? Adult Buffy, and crew face an oppressive enemy. It works, but if they had brought Amber Benson back liked they planned in 'Conversations with Dead people', It probably would have changed the entire season for me(YES, I need closure). Overall dark, sad, and very little with the funny. Grade-C
