Was that really Darla? I ask because I thought I remembered from first season that Darla was Angel's sire. I wouldn't have recognized her here, but it's been a while, and a different wig.
She was playing a child four centuries younger than herself, so it's not surprising. This is the real Darla - whom we will see again in various episodes right up to S5 of
Angel
.
Angel's doing rather well as the semi-unrespectable bad boy: "Milady, you'll find that with the exception of an honest day's work, there's no challenge I'm not prepared to face." I am reminded of certain Dickens characters.
Except they have more convincing accents.
Not exactly truth in advertising where Darla is concerned, but that's vampires for you.
And it shows he definitely consented. Interesting parallels in due course.
I thought you couldn't carbon date stone. Presumably there was plant material in the stone?
Presumably. We can choose to believe that anyway.
If vampires did vaudeville, those two would have a great act.
There's a reason so many fic-writers ship Spangel.
Giles says, "Willow. Channeling such potent magics through yourself, it could open a door that you may not be able to close." Is this foreshadowing too?
Yes, this resonates a
very
long way.
I love it that Giles has an Orb of Thesulah just lying around like a paperweight.
Giles is often a bit clueless about the powers inherent in objects he just has lying around.
Mr. Pointy? Oh dear.
It says it all about Kendra, though.
I like Whistler's speech at the end, but I can't figure out what his role in the events is. Whistler reminds me of Principal Snyder, which makes me wonder for the first time whether Snyder is a demon.

Not all evil is demonic, even in the Buffyverse.
Quite a good episode, then? Rush on to the next!
