OK somebody post something brilliant about the deeper meaning in Rona's last line. Go!
It's telegraphing Xander's secret cocaine addiction, which nobody would ever discuss.

Which was foreshadowed by the bathroom scene from Xander's dream in Restless.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
My understanding is that someone (Fox?) told ME to cut costs - so no more Darla.
Julie Benz cost more than moving the entire production to an outdoor location for three episodes, plus all new sets for just that story arc and dozens of extras in prosthetic makeup? Wowza.

Pylea felt so off the wall when it was developing. But then again, it was nice to see one of these dimensions.

Dead ought to count for something narratively.
But she didn't kill him, so dead doesn't matter.
I think it's at least as canon that Buffy killed Angel at the end of season 2 as it is that Buffy died at the end of season 1, even though they both came back. Killing Angel is what "Becoming" told us she was going to do (Spike: "You let me and Dru skip town, I help you kill Angel." Whistler: "...the faster you kill Angel, the easier it's gonna be on you."), that's what Buffy told us she did, ("Giles, look, I've got makeup tests to pass... Next time I kill Angel, I'll video it"), and five seasons later, that's still the way she describes it: I killed Angel.
And I don't agree with Hec. Narratively, Buffy's first death had less impact on its finale and next season than Angel's did, and that was okay.
Edit: punctuating around parentheses is hard. Also,

Season 7 stopped working for you right away, huh Rayne?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, but when did he die? When she stabbed him? No. When he fell into hell? No.
So I'm missing the dead bit.
Darla -- dead vamp. Buffy, dead twice. Angel? No deader than he's ever been.

Buffy didn't really die in Prophecy Girl, either -- otherwise Baywatch is chasing Minear in the body count. I never really took Buffy's "death" seriously until I saw all the episodes that treated it as a fact of canon.
