Have the Watchers' Council outlived their usefulness
I think that when Buffy thinks of the Watchers'Council, she thinks "What a bunch of twits." I don’t think she has any use for them, I don’t think they have any power right now. They don’t have a slayer, I don’t know what they’re doing in London, they’re just sitting around. I don’t think they have a lot of power, I don’t think Buffy thinks much about them.
A number of us writers find them very interesting, but there’s not a lot of opportunity for seeing them right now because they really aren’t that important in Buffy’s life. But aren’t they funny when they’re there?
