I didn't so much mind him dying as Angel not doing the deed with his own two hands.

[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.
Wasn't Darla also April 14, 1997? Buffy episode "Angel"
Aha. Good point. I was outside time and space. And my head.
Doyle, Wes and Fred were the only ones that really hurt for me.
Wes hurt at the time but since it was the last ep, I never got to really feel that pain. There was a wound but no salt poured into it or anything.
Lilah was a character I missed more than I ever expected.
And I never realized how much I didn't like Fred until AA was playing Illyria . Which is heresy but means I didn't really mourn much.
I got sniffly over all of them. Except for Holland and Gavin. I didn't even like Fred much, but her dying broke my heart. I'm even sad over the last four deaths we didn't see, that I'm almost sure happened.
NO MORE DYING.
Did I miss a Darla death?
You know -- in the 1600s when the Master turned her. I know it isn't surprising -- but I bet it was in Sweeps.
(Well, yeah, cause it was the same night as FFL -- but the William to Spike death probably doesn't count either -- even though that was in sweeps too.)
Hey -- so the origin stories of major vampires happen in sweeps too and also involve a death.
1) Her original death in the flashback
2) Drusilla sires Darla
3) Darla stakes self
4) Angel stakes Darla (on Buffy)
