Take the fight beyond Sunnydale, and so when Sunnydale went down, it was a setback.
I never really seriously bought that. IMHO, I thought this was presented in a triumphal way - that 'Sunnydale' was something to be discarded. Which is why it was so important that there be nobody left when the town was destroyed - because that would be a Buzzkill and make it seem less Heroic and Grand. I'd thought that the viewer was supposed to think it was "cool". Just like Blowing Up the High School was cool. Not worry how all those former residents are going to find jobs or feel bad that they'd lost their homes, etc...
I think it's telling as well (in a snobby way, I know) that it took AtS to carry the empowerment of all the Potentials to its logical conclusion with Damage.
Damage addressed one symptom of what I found wrong in S7. ME-verse has a very bleak view of humanity. It would stand to reason that, unless Slayers were Chosen because they were Elite and unrepresentative, that there would be poblems...
