I love Season Six Buffy. How often is depression so realistically depicted anywhere? You have the false epiphanies, the backsliding, the hopelessness. And then, it does get better. It always does pass - the depression. Doesn't mean it won't come back, but it does go away.

Pay no attention to me. I'll be over here making icons of pretty Season!Six Buffy. She was gorgeous that season (I think she's gorgeous every season, though). And Season Six has some great lighting.

Heh! No, I remembered that. I meant that calling it 'logic' is a bit of a stretch.
I don't think we can fall back on 'unreliable narrator' in this case - Buffy would have to have been retarded to have failed to realise that if no new Slayer arose the last time she died, Kendra was probably a once-in-a-deathtime occurence.

Unless she was just trying to spook the potentials. I need to rewatch S7 now (oh, I always need to rewatch everything).

Spooking the potentials? That doesn't make much sense. It'd be a pointless lie. And the truth would be a much better way to spook them ("I could die and then the burden will all fall on you, even though you still won't have special Slayer powers, because Faith's going to be in prison for a long time and she's unlikely to die before her term's up." That would have gone much better with her theme of "You have to fight NOW, you can't just wait around!")

(I didn't mean, of course, that I actually thought Buffy was retarded. Just that the writers apparently think their audience is, if they think we can buy continuity errors like that.)

Like I said, I need to rewatch the pertinent eps, but my main impression of General Buffy? General Buffy does not make the smartest choices. General Buffy was running scared. General Buffy was a sucky general.
