It saddens me that people fear weddings and babies on television because they are a vital part of life. It's when those events become lame and annoying that they become "shark jumping". As long as the writers tell the story well, then I have absolutely no problem with a baby being on Angel.

Oh, that's interesting. I'd like that.

Oh, I think that will be a factor this season, but I want it to be several episodes from now, when everyone in A.I. including Darla, if the writers include her, gets involved in taking care of little Poofter.

I can see that causing Angel's dark

Oh, I believe W&H won't give up on this kid, which is important for Angel to protect this kid and not by sending it off to another dimension. if Buffy didn't send dawn off to sompleace else when she found out she was the key and not really her sister, then Angel shouldn't send off his child to be taken care of by some stranger.

>So MANY questions!

Indeed. Hopefully, TM's ep next week should give us more details, hopefully without any killling off of Darla or killing off of the baby. Personally, I'm really, really against the idea of AtS super-aging the kid or killing it just to be shocking or add extra pathos. There's been enough death in real life.
