some things that bug me

okay so just a couple of things that annoyed me lol no.1 is Darla i read in a post someone said she seemed like a different person in season 1 of Buffy than she did in angel well that got me thinking in season 1 of Buffy Darla seemed like she didn't know anything and it seemed like she didn't even know what a slayer was even tho when we see flashbacks on angel and spike on Buffy its clear she does another thing was Anya in season four of Buffy she tells xander that she wants to have sexual intercourse but she talks about it like she read about it in a book but in season seven shes talking with a demon who's angry with her because she wouldn't do it with him all those years ago lol has anyone else ever noticed little things like this???

I think that's simply because those characters, in particular, weren't expected to stick around.

I know what you mean. Like in the beginning they made Anya seem so socially inept.She still continued to be so but more so in the way that she just didn't care about the rules.
In the beginning she was all"men like sports" like she just researched human behavior.
Also, and this is just me being anal, in Season 3 she wants Xander to run away with her and mentions her car is outside.
In Season 5 I believe with the troll, she is driving and confesses to Willow that she has never driven before.
I love her but her character has some inconsistencies.

The car could be a taxi, the sex with the demon that Anya had back in the day (good catch on that by the way) was probably VERY different to human reproduction. Of course are we really thinking she didn't know of sex even further back when she was with Olaf? She knew Olaf "did" a bar matron afterall. lol Maybe after 1000 years she forgot.

The Darla/Master relationship always seemed to me like she played very naive with him, especially with the school girl thing going on. Like when kids ask for the same story over and over from granddad because he likes telling it lol

The werewolf thing bothered me a lot. It's established in Buffy that a werewolf thats killed in wolf form remains a wolf (as that Caine skins them). In Angel 5 the story involves eating werewolf flesh as a delicacy, but they have to be eaten alive otherwise they'll be turned back into human form upon death.

I noticed the werewolf thing too. It's just a silly little inconsistency.

Ahaha, but as is explained in the Angel ep "Unleashed" Nina, and the werewolf that bit her are different breeds to the werewolves normally found in America (ie. Oz)

DR. ROYCE- Pretty rare breed you've got here.
WESLEY- Dr. Royce is the cryptozoologist on my staff. I brought him in to tell us what we'll be dealing with when we find the girl.
ROYCE- Lycanthropus exterus. Undocumented in North America... until now, obviously.
FRED- How is it different from a standard werewolf?
ROYCE- Oh, biped, for one thing. Walks upright. Canines are a bit longer than normal. Arm span is—


So that's why they look different, and presumably have different rules on their wolfy mojo

theres some great points here and henz u said the car may be a taxi but she says to xander (we can take turns to drive) if im not wrong there and sorry if i seem like im bagging out buffy because im not i love the show but sometimes joss slips up lol and good explaining about the werewolf nina looked really horrible as a werewolf compared to oz she looked more like a demony thing with the way she walked upright

I think there's bound to be some inconsistencies with any project. Especially, with characters who weren’t meant to stay for long. Like Darla who was supposed to be killed in The Harvest.

I agree that there is an error that she couldn't tell Buffy was the Slayer. As stated, we learn later from flashbacks that's she's aware they exist.

Not in this forum, but in others I have read about people thinking there’s an inconsistency with how Darla acted around The Master. I've read people's thoughts on how she was such a bad ass, but around the Master was passive. Then when she leaves him for Angelus, that doesn't match up with how she was in the past. But to that, I say look at Destiny:

ANGELUS: "Darla and I had a little spat. Her precious master sent for her. You know Darla. Master's pet."

Regardless, The Master’s followers feared him so it’s expected they be passive around him. It’s the fruit punch mouth… strikes fear in the hearts of Vamps!
