A mini-theme that I find delightful but don't know how to interpret. All the hints that Buffy isn't like other Slayers. She doesn't go by the book (which she didn't even know about), they didn't know about her from birth, she has trouble accepting her destiny, and no one really know what to make of her - except maybe Giles.
we know she flunked the written on prophecies
She did? Heh. When was that mentioned?
Maybe Buffy is a wild card in the tarot pack
I like that. I like it that she is special/different, particularly since there isn't just one Slayer.
Isn't that how Lois McMaster Bujold plots as well?
Yes - figure out the worst possible thing for the character and do it. To good effect.
