You're welcome.

I've read some of those comments, too, and mainly from the ASS board. Quite Frankly, I was kind of glad that there are posters there who state their reasons for disliking the way the C/A ship is being presented so far without disparaging the possibility of the C/A-ship itself.

Really? Man, I guess they are pretty loud and vocal, since it just feels to me that there is a huge tide towards C/A as a couple. I've been viewing the ASS board from time to time, and the NG, and BAPS and it just feels that everyone is grinning and smiling over C/A smoochies and I guess it's just frustrating me.

Is this really and truly confirmed that C/A isn't helping in the ratings? Maybe it's because it's divorced from the main arc of the season so far, which is the Darla/baby storyline.
>I think you've already answered your own question. :)

Well, I guess I did since airing out these issues make me feel a lot better about the season and C/A.

Well, they certainly haven't forgotten in Quickening. I guess the purpise of "Offspring" was to introduce Darla as a vampire to the audience and what she is/can be capable of and develop her storyline from there.

>It's okay. Just stay safe in the D/A bunker. :)

Ahh, I'm in the D/A Bunker re-watching the scene where Darla is crying in the car. It's just so beautful. TM better not kill her or the baby off next week. That's just too much.

By the way, notice how there are still posters who are questioning the paternity of the baby and are sold on the idea of it being evil? I'm not letting it bother me, but really! Denial ain't just a river in Egypt ans it is confirming my suspicions that these type of posters would love a baby storyline if the mother were Cordy or Buffy. I'm betting that these people would not be calling for it to be evil or the mother to die a speedy death.
