I’m rewatching Angel, and I always find myself chuckling at how quickly the characters move around LA, which is notorious for its traffic. Is it because they’re using the sewers? Is it because they mainly stick to cases in areas within a certain radius of the Hyperion? Curious what others think.

I understand that a lot of it happens at night, when there are fewer cars on the road. Plus, it’s TV. On a show that centers on vampires and demons, it’s the least outlandish thing. It still makes me laugh, though.

I’m rewatching Angel, and I’m curious: Given that Darla was wasting away from syphilis during her final days as a human, wouldn’t her blood have tasted gross to The Master and Dru during both rounds of her becoming a vampire? I seem to remember an episode or two of Buffy where vamps abandoned their meals because the person they bit was sick or had some kind of disease, which made their blood taste bad. Is this an inconsistency, or was Darla just such an important player that exceptions were made by the ones who turned her?

I’m also now wondering whether Darla is the only vamp in the Buffyverse to be sired twice/have more than one sire. Anyone know?

Edit: I understand she was bitten with the intention of turning her, rather than feeding. I’m sure they still taste the flavor of the blood when they turn someone, and I’m asking if we think it would have tasted different than healthy blood because she was ill. The point of this was never to debate WHY she was bitten by The Master and Dru.
