Darla's Humanity

[Spirit_Of_Fred]

i havent actually seen "the trial" in a while, though i have watched some of the eps near it, but anyway, i was watching that clip of darla singing (which im pretty sure is from the trial), and i was wondering what would have happened if they somehow found a way to keep darla human, and not have her die? like if the trial angel underwent had worked out the way he wanted it, and then he kept dru from vamping her again. it seems like human darla couldve been an interesting character, plus W&H wouldve had to change their plans, and who knows what wouldve happened!

what do you guys think? would you have liked to see that? and what do you think wouldve happened?

^ Actually, no. I don't think I would have wanted Darla to remain human. She didn't want to be a human. I think a human Darla would have gone and gotten herself killed whilst trying to get revampified... that, or come up with some way to magically FORCE Angel to turn her.

Hmmm... okay, maybe the forced corruption of Angel story would have been entertaining.

but after seeing what lengths Angel went to save her, she didnt want to be vamped. She was ready to die. I woulda prefered that then no Connor drama ;)

I wouldn't give up that scene where Drusilla glides into the room for anything. That was the biggest "HOLY ****" moment in the entire series. Buffy too. Cordelia stabbing Lilah was pretty unexpected, but that entire scene just floored me the first time. Plus, the Darla/Dru interactions that followed were great too. I did like Darla as a human, but I think it was best cut short with us wanting more.

Well I think W&H would've still let Dru revamp Darla. Those events were so close together I don't think they would've even realized Darla was cured. I mean, how? Would either she or Angel be supposed to scream 'goodbye syphillitic (spelling?actually, whole word. have i made it up?)!' or what? But that would've been even more dramatic in a way.
If Darla had in fact become human, Connor would've never been born. He was born from the life that Angel got from the Trial, if Darla had gotten it instead, Connor would've never been born due to the vampirehood of Angel.
Other than that, I could see Darla join AI. I mean, she's been around for ages, surely she could be of great help. And it's not like she could just go and start a new life anyway. First of all, I'm pretty sure W&H wouldn't have let that happen, and second, there would be no record of here anywhere, she couldn't just get a job or something.
