I think they should have focused on Principle Wood instead of Andrew so much, like hello child of a slayer!

That's so awesome!

I'm sure Buffy always wondered what her life would have been like if she was ever to settle down and do the whole family thing.

Principle Wood just has so much history, why has Giles never talked about how some slayers or at least how Nikki had a child. I'm sure it was dangerous.

Season 7 is supposed to be about the Slayer line, and there's just so much they could have done with it and they didn't.

It's just little hints here and there.

[thepunkmuppet]

thinking about an alternate season 7 wherein instead of every potential slayer being hunted and then activated, every past slayer gets brought back to life. I don’t really like post-chosen content anyway, but when I do read / look at it the whole slayer academy, everyone’s a slayer thing is really stupid to me ngl 💀

previous slayers, though… nikki wood and xin rong interacting with spike, actually finding out about the slayer before buffy, slayers with different backgrounds and situations and personalities, KENDRA?! I just love it so much.

you’d be able to focus on a relatively small cast of slayers, much like the potentials, throughout the season. this would include buffy, faith, kendra, nikki, and some other american slayers from varying time periods with a couple interesting international characters too (maybe a slayer from ancient greece / rome / egypt, or an anglo-saxon one or something). these are all experienced slayers, so no need to focus on training - it would be more about lore, history and their personal character journeys, assimilating them into society (creating some fun bottle episodes, maybe a day out on the town with dawn and a historical slayer) and trying to figure out why they were all brought back. also, if you want to keep the first as the main villain, then it can look like any one of them because they’re all technically dead, which means you can still have that episode with the dead potential revealing herself as the first and all the mistrust that’s threaded throughout the season.

plus with nikki back, there would be no need for the stupid sleeper agent thing with spike or the ridiculous fight between him and robin. all the same ideas (and the flashbacks to spike’s mum) could still be explored, and in a way better way imo.

I reckon the reason they were brought back would probably be the powers that be (tying nicely into angel ofc) trying to defeat the first. and of course the ending would be this huge battle, as all the slayers from around the world come to sunnydale, and maybe to add some drama they would all disappear and die again when the battle’s done as they have fulfilled their purpose (a classic finale knife to the heart that would have everyone sobbing, especially over nikki and kendra).

there’s also the added thing of like,, I appreciate the show was leaning towards a theme of “hope for the future” with the potentials angle, but literally every other aspect of the season is about harkening back to the past. faith, robin, the first taking the form of previous characters, the high school, the slayer origins, etc etc. so I just think this idea would work so much better with the themes of the season, and tie in really nicely.

and the most obvious perk of this concept is kendra! she was forgotten about so quickly, and this season would really give the writers a chance to redeem themselves for the terrible way poc characters have been treated throughout the show (ignoring what they did to robin. FUCK that but that’s another conversation). I think the show really downplayed how much kendra’s death would have affected buffy, and seeing the two of them interact after buffy has changed so much and kendra’s still the same would be amazing. there’s also the interesting concept that, having been brought back from the dead, kendra still be 17, and therefore closer in age to dawn than to buffy, which could make for some really nice interactions between the two of them. also of course the biggest most exciting thing is having buffy, faith and kendra all interact. they all represent places on a spectrum in terms of personality, and I would LOVE to see kendra and faith interact and how much of a unit they would likely become as a trio.

there’s also the theme of buffy feeling (and being) alone in this season that would hopefully go away, as she would now have dozens of people who truly understand her, giving her a proper support system which I would love to see (season 7 scoobies can actually eat shit btw <3)

so. was this born out of my hatred for insufferable kennedy and the annoying potentials? yes absolutely. do I now want them to rewrite and re-film the entire last season 20 years later? yes absolutely I’m so glad you understand

side note wouldn’t it be sick if in the final battle there’s just this one slo-mo shot where buffy stakes a vamp and through the dust she sees the first slayer looking at her from across the battlefield before she disappears amongst the fight. WHAT it would literally be awesome hello?!

also also other side note sorry but Mother(TM) nikki wood would NEVER kick buffy out of her own house. fuck them kids fr

"In every generation there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer."

You know what, I actually like that Nikki was a mother.

We were following the adventures of Buffy since she was a teenager and we were also told that Slayers die young, so we are used to the idea that a Salyer is always a high schooler or - at best - college student. We are also used to the idea of Slayer being alone, maybe aside from her Watcher. In that sense, the most unique part of Buffy is that she has large safety net - not only Giles, her mother and sister, but also Xander, Willow and her other friends.

Nikki, meanwhile, birthed and was raising her own child, and this probably posed some difficulties. We don't know anything about Robin's father (so far), but she had to reconcile her Slayer duties with raising a son (we actually see her fighting while baby Robin is hiding in the park, so I assume that they were attacked). She had to think about the safety of her child, so they were constantly on the move. Probably often she was thinking about what will happen to Robin if she dies on the job and this is why her Watcher took care of him afterwards - this was an arrangement they agreed upon.

What I also mean is that in Seasons 5 and 6, Buffy had to take care of her sister, but taking care of teenager is a bit different than taking care of a child.

(Also, also, I love her style. I always loved gals with afro.)

The thing about that whole speech Spike gives to Robin in "Lies my parents told me" Is that in basically saying that Nikki had a choice, and she chose slayerhood over her son, and she chose to die, and that in doing so we should have little sympathy for her or Robin, is that it kind of indirectly says we shouldn't have any sympathy for Buffy either. If we shouldn't care about Nikki because she "chose" this life, then why care about Buffy. It could even be argued Buffy had more of a choice than Nikki because of Kendra and later Faith. If Nikki's being a slayer overshadowed and negated her love for her son, then Buffy's being a slayer should negate her love for Dawn. If it's ok for Spike to kill her with no remorse, then it would have been fine for any other demon to kill buffy. If Nikki's death isn't tragic and just part of the game she knew she was getting into, then Buffy's deaths shouldn't be tragic either. If we shouldn't care about Robin's pain at losing his mother, then we shouldn't care about Dawn's pain at losing her sister. But of course, we do and are supposed to sympathize with buffy because she's the main character.

Same robin and nikki doodles but (hopefully) a little easier to see. I gave him a jacket because i thought it’d be cute if he was constantly stealing nikki’s so they eventually gave him his own.

the pure enemy situationship of spike seeking out and battling slayers is so fucking fun like i love it when characters kill each other

First Date aired for BTVS season 7, episode 14. Principal Wood goes out on a date with Buffy. Lissa goes out on a date with Xander. Spike and Anya are - respectively - jealous.

Lissa met Xander while she was shopping for rope at a local store. Lissa was played by Ashanti and this was Lissa's only appearance.

This was also the first appearance of a re-cast Nikki Wood. Nikki was played by K.D. Aubert in this episode. She had a second appearance later in S7. (Previous post on the previous Nikki Wood.)

Why does Buffy just give Spike the benefit of the doubt? Just because he has a soul now, plenty past villains in the show had souls, having a soul doesn't just make you a good person.

Warren had a soul.

Peter Clarner had a soul.

He hasn't shown any good qualities, that having a soul what be good for, like the returning Nikkis jacket and apologizing for killing Nikki Wood, Robin's mother or how Drusilla killed Kendra and the part he played.

He just doesn't seem very remorseful. For someone that's supposedly "a good man"

He's apologize for his misdeeds towards her but no one else.
