Lulzy unintentional Mark speculation, on his writeup of "The Trial"

I also understand that there’s another layer to this, though, because turning Darla into a vampire again could have utterly disastrous complications. What if she turns against Angel and his friends? What if she decimates Wolfram & Hart? Wait, can that happen? As much as I love those characters, it would be hilarious if she like blew up the building after drinking everyone. I know that would mean that Sam Anderson wouldn’t be on the show, but I would heal.

Also the last line of the review was perfect, re W&H:

My god, I hope Darla annihilates those assholes.

Well, Mark posted his "Triangle" review and, unsurprisingly, was lost in the hilarity. But what I'm starting to notice is - is it just me or is he really missing the warning signs about Willow? Or is it just that I'm looking back from a post-S6 perspective and the signs weren't as clear as I remember?

Actually he said something prescient about that other day but it might've been in an Angel review. Something about how lame it was to use the addiction metaphor (maybe for Vampirism?).

Riley getting sucked off by vamps.

Yep. I was like...wait till season six, dude.

They're much clearer in hindsight, for sure. He's noted Willow's callous use of magic a couple times before, but he hasn't really identified it as a negative pattern.

I feel certain he'll get it as of the Actual Car Crash, if not before.

Well, unless the anvil dropping on his head actually kills him.

He loved the episode with Riley's departure - I think invulnerability to anvils is his superpower.

Hey Sunil, has he watched The Body yet? I hope he doesn't watch it in that coffee shop.

Right? Based on his general viewing schedule, I think he may watch it on Memorial Day? I am trying to finagle a way to watch it with him (I also have to present him with the Buffy board game we bought him), but I haven't heard from him since he got back from his tour.
