Angel probably wouldn't have gotten as obsessed about corrupting a Slayer (since it seemed like he was fond of horrifying/devastating/super-stalking people who were resisting victims, not girls who came out fighting.

And someone else pointed out Slayers aren't supposed to have friends or family, the maiming raping killing and torturing of which seemed to be Angelus' big thing. So I guess not.

By the way, you might be interested in the different Buffy Trivia guides/sites. There's lots of helpful, basic info at those places

Thanks. I do visit the Dialogue Database quite a bit, and the Buffy and Angel Trivia Guide (one of many, I'm sure) is quite helpful. But sometimes, I'm just interested in people's opinions: I know it's never positively mentioned one way or the other whether Angel ever killed any Slayers; I just want to know what other poeple think. I didn't even think to look up the Spike turning people question because I was being air-headed and thought that wasn't something ever positively addressed in canon, also.

IIRC, there are far more references to him in s4. But again, you could check the Dialogue Database to see if it bears out.

One of the things about the Dialogue Database is things like Buffy and Spike's conversation in "Wrecked", when Buffy says, "A vampire got me hot, one." She's talking about Angel of course, but that doesn't show up when you search for Angel, nor when you scan the "Buffy and Angel" arc option it has. It also wouldn't show the moment in "The Freshman" when Buffy thinks she sees him at the Bronze--stuff like that.

But anyway, I wasn't very clear; what I meant was a few of the references in S6, such Willow saying she had a sleazy affair with Angel in "Flooded" seem more random and casual than they did in 4 and 5. In 4, there were 3 cross-overs, so Angel pretty much had to be discussed quite a bit. In 5, Angel was important thematically as regards the Buffy/Riley arc; the only really random, casual comment about Angel is what the Buffybot thinks of his hair. Of course, Buffy's comment in "Wrecked" about "one vampire" is thematic as well, but Willow's comment and several others have just seemed kinda out of the blue. But I'm beginning to think it is just me!
