The Watcher's Council - Buffy: TVS Questions

[3D Master]

The WC finds and trains Potentials yes, but I mentioned I wasn't talking about Potentials when I asked the question, I was talking about once the latest Slayer has been identified.

Once called, Why not maximize her training? Sharpen the blade and shove it down evil's throat?

Once called her training should already be maximized. Once called, she shouldn't be training anymore, she should be fighting. Once called she gets such a boost in strength, speed, power, and ability that the Watchers's can't all that effectively train her physical aspects anymore.

Frankly, I think it was probably a mistake, story-wise, to make the Watchers Council as organized & competant as they were. Their treatment of the slayer would be more in line with a more limited organization populated mostly by kooks. Think a UFO fan club whose aliens just happen to really exist.
