    Won’t work, she is getting old and young kids are not interested in middle aged buffy.

    We do need heroes, just not… That.

    Then again, maybe middle aged moms will like it, having watched buffy when they grew up.

      I see her as the new giles. She could have glasses and act more intellectual because of her years of experience and education on the matter then at some point you have the episode where she reveals how bad ass she can be and the new slayer finds out she was once a slayer.

      It could be a “tales of the slayers” type of thing where each season is a different slayer from history. It could be a series set 20 years after the finale where Buffy is…maybe not Giles but is more of a mentor-generals don’t typically go to the front lines. Further, the challenges presented by (effectively) superheroes appearing in the world, and being the one responsible for that, would mean a different kind of story.
