I don't think Darla talks about how siring works, beyond trying to instruct Shempy in how to do it.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What decisions were made because of costs is different for me, because of the nature of it.
I'm firmly in the overthinking camp, because I do hypothesise things like cost as the show rolls along. Every effect dings a cash register in one part of my brain. Some things don't occur to me until they're mentioned, but avoiding the SFX of the vamp was something I figured on before hearing about it.

What is even happening?
Cost-wise for morphing, I can see that. But for a vamp like Dalton, it's not just that we didn't see him morph, we didn't see him in unbumpy face, ever. He were always bumpy faced (again and okay, Dalton's the only one I'm sure of, right now).

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
Didn't the vamp face makeup take hours to put on (and take off)? I think that's what drove costs up. It's one thing to shoot 90% of the scene, yell Cut!, "David (or James/Julie/Juliet), get into/out of makeup," and then come back x hours later to finish shooting, but that's unlikely to happen for an everyday vamp unless it's critical to the scene.
As far as non-meta reasons for why newer vamps are scene w/ game face, I thought it was that they couldn't really control it yet, whereas a more experienced one, e.g., Spike or Angel, could use human face as another tool in his/her arsenal. Much easier to blend in -- whether for hunting or partying or picking someone up -- non-vamp mode. The Master, of course, had grown past the need. That part's canonical. The rest? Don't remember & don't have time to research it since I'm still at work.

Thanks P-C! I'm one of those cheap patient people who prefers to wait until hell freezes over the entire series gets released before buying them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Looks like you'll be saving money, Wolfram. I'm pretty sure it cost me $100 more than that to buy them piecemeal

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, that's actually kind of appealing.

I knnow that the version that they released in England came in a cool leather bound box, I wonder if this one will.

Wow, I only had to wait like 3 or 4 short years to save 100 bucks. And people say I have no business sense.

Wolf, I was sustained by the reruns on each morning. Plus, I have the first 5 seasons on tape.
