Haha, I saw someone commenting about how the ‘test’ the watchers give Buffy when she’s depowered is super unfair and rigged and it’s like, yep that’s the point.

Why would they intentionally sabotage the Slayer once she hits eighteen and throw her into a death trap? Because past 18 she’s less likely to follow orders.

That is an interesting point…
But at that point, hadnt she died already and there was Kendra and , subsequently Faith?

So even if she died- it wouldn’t have activated a new slayer, Faith would have to die for that to happen..

That makes her even more disposable (particularly since I don’t think Faith had turned nefarious yet.) Get rid of the spare rebellious one. Particularly since she was noted for being really bad at following the Watchers’ orders. 

Little did they know that Faith was going to get worse.
