In Amends, the First as Jenny says, “I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that’s off the menu.” In Chosen, Buffy tells Angel, “No I don’t see fat grandchildren in the offing with Spike.”
In a feature appeareance in “Andromeda”, James Marsters, playing Charlemagne Bolivar, said when asked what it was that he wanted: “The usual. Hundreds of grandchildren, domination of the known worlds and for all of my enemies to die in horrible accidents that can’t be traced back to me.” I was giggling mad when I heard that :D it sounds really Spike-ish and the grandchildren reference registered with me.
I don’t know if it was my own mind playing tricks on me, but when Buffy says that in Chosen, doesn’t Angel get a look, like a guilty expression……..did he remember that The First/Jenny said that and he felt guilty?………not likely………its probably just me……
I think Angel gets a funny look because Buffy is talking about the fact that vampires can’t have children. But Angel did. True it was an unprecidented event, and not likely to happen again. But you never know in the Buffyverse. Angel and Buffy could have a child someday… Possibly…. Probably not.
“The last time I saw Angel he was facing, ahem, certain death. Or death squared, or somethin like that…”
In a unreleased extended version of the last episode of Angel, in fact, that dragon Angel was so amped to fight, bity his head off, and left an little pile of dust that, interestingly enough, stood straight up….
Oh, sorry, really didn’t do this double post on purpose:
Longlostscooby: I agree, I rewatched this episode last night (at my aunts who owns every season of Buffy and Angel, can I get an amen?). He is just thinking of Buffy and their lack of future children. Does he know you can adopt?
“Vampires, sure…take some kids…as long as your not GAY”
Indeed, I think most of the world would be more comfortable with a blood-sucking, un-dead fiend raising unwanted children than, say, two intelligent, sensitive, cultured men…cuz, that’s just icky.
I know that I would reather see vamps with adopted kids than Rosie O’Donnell - she is a real monster.And don’t they realize fat grandchildren grow up to be fat children and fat adults. Heart disease any one?!

yeah, but now Abby’s on top of me and under you and I’m just going to hand that to sl’em on a sliver platter because it’s way too easy…

Thanks for the nice pass, mair…
Ok, here now is my gratuitous sexist comment, courtesy of mair’s straight line:
“yeah, but now Abby’s on top of me and under you”
It is the menage a’trois I have always dreamed of….
[Thank you, thank you very much…]
