Ps, that's Pilgrim Soul? I remember reading her posts on the ASS Board last year and really enjoying them. It would be great to have her post here more often. The more posters we get, the better the postings.

Are you talking about the few posters who write the pro-darla posts? I think there was a hppy thread post that the board mom set up and I'm quite happy with the few responses it got, at least it shows that there are *some* darla-lovers hanging around on that board. I tried to make a few posts over there, but found that posting over here was a lot more fun for me.

I know what you mean, for some reason, A.I. felt like a *team* and the rapport was really nice. For someone who is supposed to be a "Big Bad" to the A.I. team, Darla, in a weird way feels more like a part of the group rather than someone who was working against it. I loved her "It's nothing." to Wesley when he asked ifshe was all right.

>tell me about it. Give that wonderful man SOMETHING
>TO DO!

Well, they gave Wes a storyline with fred and put him in the role of the Leader. Cordy's being gung-ho with the super-hero stuff and Fred's being the shy, yet strong girl who has a quirky brain. Why do I get the feeling that Fred's going to be cooing over the baby? She is such a sweetie :)

>It might work. They just need to involve Gunn, Wes,

ER, The West Wing, to name a few. Sheesh, ER has Peter benton who has a three-year-old son, who is just about the cutest actor I have ever seen and yet he remains a part of the storyline, even though the main theme of the show is about Doctors. If these "real-life" shows can include a baby on the set, then by golly, Angel can do the same thing.

>LOL! Yeah, I keep telling myself NOT to get too
>invested. "It's not worth it!," I keep saying to
>myself.

I say the same thing too. The key to trying not to care too much about this storyline is to STAY AWAY from the anti-Darla places and if you click on those boards, jump right out and I don't know, replay scenes from your favorite eps.

>the?! It's a BABY!

I've come across a few posts like that. I'm almost betting that a few of these posters were the same ones who had wanted Dawn to die last year in The Gift. I try very hard not to scream and rip that posters head off, so I meantally say, "That poster is so not worth it." and close that post.

I just shake my head at this hatred towards a small, helpless baby. I don't care if that baby is good/evil/whatever. To me, it doesn't matter. In the Lullaby promo, when I heard that little guy crying, my heart just went out to it. I don't want him killed, okay! I don't! if the writers make him evil, I'll be very, very annoyed and not sure if I will watch more Angel eps.

>Oh, you too. What we are doing IS crazy!

The net makes us crazy fans, that's all I've got to say. The trick is to surround ourselves with people who can keep that perspective.

It seems as though here are only select few who really post on the Angel NG. Some of them irritate the heck out of me. I guess it happens in all usenet groups, you get your regular posters that just dominate the posts, making it feel like a clique that newbies can't quite break through.
