True; it was a plot-driven standalone, not character-driven. Although despite what peoople her are saying, I never felt Faith was particularly out of character.
Except that the good people of Hanselstadt weren't hunting anyone down
Did I say they were? I was talking about the ex-Watcher with inside knowledge of Slayers and demonology, and a powerful grudge against them.
A Slayer can pretend to be an ordinary person, but in the Buffyverse ordinary people tend to be monster food - so while it's a choice, it's not necessarily a good choice.
Besides, Hanselstadt wasn't a place where they could live a normal life; it was more than that. It was supposed to be a sanctuary where vampires (and other demons?) never even entered. A safe zone, a place where they could turn their backs on the rest of humanity.
