Darla, Darla, Darla. Sigh. Let's just say I was pissed as hell when Angel killed her. I mean, come on, he killed DARLA. She's such a cutie, and so evil too. The very first scene ever on BtVS was steeped in brillance. Two kids break into a school at night. It's dark and creepy, and the girl seems rather freaked out. The boy assures her that it is safe, but she expresses reservations. He says no one is here. Then, she vamps out and kills him. Not quite was I was expecting, that's for damn sure. Darla was the Master's favorite, and I totally know why. I mean, come on, look at the girl. Beautiful people are better than ugly people, and I guess the same holds true for vamps. Darla was a major mega-bitch vamp. She was going to kill Buffy's mom. That is totally messed up. Then she let Angel take the fall for it. Of course, her motives were very obvious. She wanted Angel back. I don't see why she'd want Angel when she had the gorgeous Master to look at all night.

I was totally and completely excited when I heard that Julie Benz was going to be coming back on Becoming. All I could think was YAY! over and over again. I turned out to be pretty disappointed with her small amount of air time, but I guess I'll get over it. That dress was plenty enough to get over it.
