I think it's just SA accepting the information with enlightenment. See the lightbulb over her head?

Yes, this.

Still, you've gotta figure that all the info we have on Slayer history in Fray is from someone who wasn't there. Wossname the Demon!Watcher said all they had was legends about what happened. All they knew for certain was that there hadn't been a actual powered up Slayer for centuries. He said there'd been potentials, but none had been called. That's why the Watcher's Council became such a bunch of nutters. They'd been without an actual purpose for centuries. Kinda hard to persuade girls that it's their destiny to fight vamps they can't find with powers they ain't got. As for where the lurks came back from, well...

...all you need to do is miss one vamp in the cleanup. They're like roaches.

(All the following is utter fanwank, BTW)

All that's why I think that Willow burnt out the Slayer Spell powering up all the potentials. The battery of power the Slayers draw from has been seriously overdrained and there aren't going to be any new Slayers called for a long time. See, it's been established for a while now that while Willow is Large With The Power, she's NSM with the Thinking Shit Through Beforehand. So now, they've got one generation to cleanse the earth of all demons and vamps, because when the last Slayer of this generation goes down, there will be Nobody to "stand between us and the forces of darkness." Not for a long time.

But Urkonn did say-- ah, fuck, I'm not quoting it right, but it was something like "the line continued, there were girls with the power, but they were never called, never trained, blah blah blah."

So there were Slayers, but they never knew that they were Slayers because the Watcher's Council had gone to pieces.

but they were never called, never trained, blah blah blah."

So there were Slayers,

Nope. If they were never called then they were never Slayers. They were potentials and no more.

Well, I think Urkonn's using "called" differently. I though he meant "no Watchers ever came up to these girls and told them they were Slayers," but he specifically said that there were girls with the power.

I don't know--I think he meant called as in chosen. And that rather than the power it was the potential. I think the spell was required for the actual calling, which from what we know now was disbanded.

I'd have to reread the comics to be sure though.

See, why would the Council go to pieces if there were still Slayers around? Just because there weren't any vamps left for them to slay? Hell, I can think of plenty of things to do with a superstrong teenage girl...

Y'know, that came out a lot pornier than it was in my head.

why would the Council go to pieces if there were still Slayers around?

Because they're outnumbered, and can't actually watch anyone.

Plus, they're mostly all dead.

Hey, bewildered about season finale, what happens when the new Slayers die? I mean, is it still one dies, another is chosen?

I don't know if this is explicit, but I got the impression that Willow's spell essentially used up slayerosity and shot it all in one wad. Which would fit into Fray continuity sort of. But I could be wrong or Jossed.

In the latest Fray, Joss answered the letters (rather than whoever had been answering them), and he said that he Jossed himself on Fray canon with the whole multiple Slayers thing.

Sometimes, I think about Joss jossing, and then I do a joss by myself.
