Linking it all together.
How Buffy, Cabin In The Woods and Firefly are all in the same universe.

It works better if you theorize that the Black Thorn had been performing rituals and sacrifices to keep the Senior Partners from coming into this world in the flesh, and afterwards the Initiative had to take over that function.

The sacrifices had been going on for thousands of years prior to the events of CITW.
And there appeared to be plenty of males at River's special school, not just possible activated Slayers.
And Melaka Fray is the only Slayer to appear on the earth in hundreds of years, no?
And are we to believe the Old Ones didn't destroy the Earth in 2012? Or that humanity somehow wasn't wiped out and rebuilt to a deep-spacefaring species in a few hundred years?
These "bigger universe" theories are fun, like the "Jar Jar Binks is a Sith" thing, but they work so much better when there aren't gaping holes that need to be explained away.

In the canonical Serenity comics, it certainly looks like all the "graduates" of River's school turned out to be female.
I had a theory that they originally tried to take both males and females, but the males had some kind of reaction to the protocol that made them unstable. I thought that maybe Jubal Early was an example of a failed attempt at the first generation of "Slayers." The evidence for this is mainly in the Leaves on the Wind comics.

In the Buffy season 8/9/10 comics, Andrew Wells is able to make recordings of people's personalities just like on Dollhouse... but he puts them in human-like robot bodies instead of in brainwashed people.

It's all connected.
I read something like this in 2014, but this is not the same article.

rvashko-Melaka Fray would have been born hundreds of years before River Tam.

This sort of thing can be fun when done by say PJ Farmer in Tarzan Alive or Doc savage: His Apocalyptic Life, since all those writers claimed to be writing in a more or less real world, so why *can't* these different adventurers, back to Solomon Kane, exist? But this is hashing together fantasy/s-f- worlds with their own mythologies, and requires doing some violence.
I'm just recalling when Marvel comics introduced the parallel world of the Squadron Supreme. some fan felt he had to write a letter coming up with "explanations" as to why the major Marvel characters didn't exist there. Hello, it's a different world, why *should* they exist? This is much the same as that fan.
