That was gorgeous. Darla was absolutely great tonight. From being uncaring to actually crying, yet covering it up was just plain wonderful. More and more, I've become a Darla fan.

Blue, I've set up a screaming room in the D/A bunker, we can scream out our anxiety withinfour sound-proof walls.

Beautiful. The one decent thing D/A have ever done in their two hundred plus years of existence.

Maybe she's afraid of growing attatched to the baby and is not sure of being a good mother.

Nice scenario. I hope it goes down like this.

Blue, I'm with you on making Darla a regular. She's got such great style and humor that it's so much fun to watch her. I loved the scene where the vamps that support the Miracle Child where going on about killing the humans and Darla's all for it, until they got to the part of killing her and she's all, okay, I'm with you guys.

Oh, they did. I love the rapport between Darla and Fred. I want to see more of it in the next episode, since she seems to be the one at hand for delivering the baby.

I agree. I adore the Spike storyline, but Darla's storyline should reamin in line with her personality, which is sarcastic, willing to care for hers and hers alone, yet at the same time, willing to cover up those moments of sheer *humanity*, which are a sight to behold. Can you tell, I absolutely adore the scene where she's ust silent and covers up the fact that she's been touched by the sight of her baby.

To maintain the level up up and down-ness with out emotions regarding darla, I'm going to throw in a line that the ep, 14 will deal with A/C , where the writers tell us how wonderful, brave, courageous and so *neat* Cordy is and how much Anbgel should be loving her and only her. I'm sorry, but I'm feeling extreme resentment against Cordy at the moment. I can't believe I'm going against A/C development at least untiltheyclear up the Darla-issue and not make Cordy the mom of Angel, Junior.
