Angel didn't die, he went directly to Hell without passing Go. Buffy, Darla, and Spike are the only ones who've gone backsies on actually dying (unless you count all vampires).
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.
Buffy ,'Showtime'
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Angel didn't die,
"I kissed him, and I killed him."
That's as much as dead as the others got.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Darla staking herself to save her baby is a contender for best death, except I never could quite believe it. I mean, it's DARLA. I can only believe it if I believe she got magically brainwashed by her magical impossible baby.

That's definitely one of the best murders.

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

Her calling him dead doesn't make him dead. Are you saying that stabbing a vampire kills them, or that sending to another dimension does, or that it's the combination?

Going to Hell equals "dead" for whatever that means in the Jossiverse. He was expired on this plane, he was an ex-Angel, he was bleedin' demised.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Was Connor dead while he was growing up then?

Walking through an interdimensional portal is not the same as having your physical body mortally wounded in our dimension.

Angel's physical body was not mortally wounded though. Wounded, yes; mortally, no.
