Darla's comment about living aboveground is fairly hypocritical, given what we found out later. Aside from this, it's fairly consistent with what we see in Angel Season 2.

Also, remember that Angel never associated with the Order itself; he only met the Master once, and Darla was separated from the Order during the time she was with him.

Joyce was really pretty. Also, feature-wise, she totally looks like Buffy.

Oh, Darla. Like anyone would be studying the Revolutionary War and the Civil War at the same time.

I meant more the Darla that was playing at being a school girl. I guess, that was only because the Hellmouth is under the high school. . . but I thought it might have something to do with her being different when she is working directly for the Master than she is when she is on her own.

Urk. With the "Mom! Mom!" and the phone call, this is creepy fore(post?)shadowing.

I know!!!

I thought the same thing (with the "Mom!").

Joyce really was willfully blind, wasn't she?

Okay, the ponytail I get. The sparkly disco jacket? Not so much.

"History, of course, is very much about the ... the then."

I think they must have drawn a lot on this episode for the Darla interaction later. Of course, considering David Greenwalt wrote this...

ETA: Also, for "Amends."

Julie Benz isn't a very good action actress, but this is still quite a scene. She still hasn't worked out how to work around the teeth.

Also, I miss this kind of interaction with the bad guys. We never got the feeling of being part of a larger evil back, I think.

I'm not sure what you mean - you mean the Angel-Darla interactions?
