Why would Darla care about the death of an innocent? She took enough of those.
I wonder....could it possibly be the First? (Not likely, but it seems that way.)

Connor is beyond redemption IMO. Surely getting some older woman doesn't screw your judgment that bad.
I actually thought he was salvageable.

So...[Not knowing much about the Angelverse before Faith's appearance but sticking around until the end..] i'm really not familiar with the whole Angel/Darla/Connor dynamic..[Just what i've seen during the "Previously On Angel.." recaps..] But...my interpretation of the whole Darla/Connor dialogue was that it was similar to what happened on Buffy between Dawn/Joyce.
Of course, I could be wrong..

About Connor. He could have redeemed himself tonight by listening to his mother, but in the end he proved just as big a liability as Angelus. Even Dawn had better judgment than him on her worst days.

Man I'm going to go back to that other thread and change my vote for most hated character to Conner. He's the only character on tv that makes me want to scream 4 letter words at the screen. I don't see the comparison to him and Dawn. I know alot of people hate her but she's not even close to being as dumb as Conner is.
As far as the rest of the ep
Skip. I always liked him and thought he was funny, to bad they killed him.
Good to see Darla too. Julie Benz

I'm really surprised looking back at this season how focused it is in it's story. The story seems to be trucking along from the beginning without taking many "side tours", or stand-alone eps that don't advance the overall picture. All this from a show whose first season was almost all about stand-alone eps, and didn't have much of an overall picture. This should be a great season for DVD.

Last night's episode was an okay episode, though Connor's thought process rank a room temperature IQ. It's was a little more unsettling to see "Darla" in a new light.
Don't you wish they'd move "Guest star" credits to the end of the show so that we get more surprises as the episode develops?
I dug the slow-mo butt-kicking Angel put on Skip with the chain whip.
So, is Skip really dead or incapacitated? Glad he copped to being in on it from the very start.

Great episode except for the scenes with Connor. A brick could have done better.
Always nice to see Skip especially eating buffalo wings
I don't know what the thing that came out of Cordy is but I can't wait til next week to find out.

Is it just me, or was the ending anti-climactic? Cordy gives birth to a shiny octopus thing that turns into ... a thirty-something black woman??
And can someone recap exactly HOW Cordy got taken over by this thing? I had a hard time following the explanation given in the episode.

Connor would likely get the death penalty if he were charged, even though it was evilcordy who did the deed. He hunted the girl, punched her in the face, tied her up, refused to let her go, dragged her into the other room for butchering.....he is guilty.
