YMMV / Angel Other Enemies

• Creator's Pet: Skip is apparently one of Joss Whedon's favorite demons; while in the process of designing Buffy Season 8, he assured the fans that, while the demons would look cooler, they still wouldn't be as cool as Skip.
• Faux Symbolism: During the Victorian era, authors connected syphilis and vampirism. Vampirism was believed to be contagious and spread in much the same way as syphilis (except via biting instead of sexually). Due to wide-spread panic in society over syphilis a lot of people were accused of vampirism and sentenced (ie, murdered/executed) accordingly. For Darla to have been "saved" from syphilis by becoming a vampire (twice) one might think the authors had done their research, although given the historical unlikelihood of Darla being an established courtesan in Virgina in 1609, the chances are it's coincidence.
