Who tried?
My brain is trying to construct parallels with comics, but that isn't making anything any simpler.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's a remora, dimwit.
I think it might be the human aspect of the half-breed vampire that drives them to socialize. They form nests, they get those eternal love bonds, they sire new vampires and keep them with them as lackeys and companions. Maybe that's why they were referred to as "The Lonely Ones" - they're evil people who need people.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
You know, they've been talking about the Wolf, Ram, and Hart enough that I'd love to see the MoG, in trying to take down the Balck Thorn, actually manage to take them down, or Illyria (or Lorne? with the Pylea thing) stepping in with some knowledge or connection or something that does it.
I'd hate to see those references not paying off.

What is even happening?
they're evil people who need people.
And the evilest people in the world...
A Bronzer has a Buffy & Angel Timeline that starts around the 1600s and goes forward. I haven't looked at it for a long time, but it's here:

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
1974: Barry Manilow II is released on LP. The song “Mandy” has a profound impact on Angel, who will even attend his concerts. The album will go double platinum.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Sometimes. Other times they're just dangling threads left there to drive the fans crazy.
Signed, Still Bitter About Halfrek's "William?"
I love the occasional thing like this. It leaves room for me to imagine some life changing event Cecily had after rejecting William that led to her becoming a vengance demon. The idea that William and Cecily could've had normal mundane lives if she'd been more open to his advances (or at least hadn't knocked him down on that particular night) intrigues me.
In terms of Spike's contribution to AtS... I think Spike has made Angel reflect on his past more and examine his choices and his path more closely. And the old married couple exchanges are damn funny.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
But it's backwards. Halfrek was before Cecily (Reference to the Crimean War with Anya), so either Halfrek was taking a break or was on a (related or not) vengence mission. That she remembers William makes me think/wank that it was related, somehow, to him.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Elimi-Stake: One male or female vampire goes on a date with four others - each round, the least desirable one is staked.
That's brilliant.
Also, thanks for the timelines, ita and Cindy!
