I had a real hard time picking between the two 'final words'... I went with Buffy's just because while Darla's words were poignant and meaningful, they did touch a peeve of mine in the way it subtly passes the buck of redemption on to the next generation. (Seen too much of that IRL!)

I was confused by Buffy's death in The Gift - I was all "Wait- okay, I can see what you were trying to do with this plot, but you didn't quite get there, but we'll just move past." Darla's death? Pissed me off. Because it removes an awesome complication from Angel's life and a great character in favor of yet another fictional man who begets a son without needing a wife. :P

omg. I like... have issues, there. Mind you, I adore single fathers. I had one.

I get that. I really like the final scene of "Lullaby", but both her character and what she added to Angel's story was a lot more interesting than what we got with Connor, IMO; she deserved better. Hell, the viewers deserved better.
