I’m currently listening to the episode and you guys were wondering whether the vampire reveal took anyone by surprise. I actually started watching Buffy a few months back without knowing anything about it.
However, I knew Angel was a vampire from the start simply from his first appearance on screen. I just assumed he was a vampire. I don’t know why exactly that happened, but just the way he was portrayed on screen screamed vampire I guess. So I was surprised later in “Angel” that there was a vampire reveal, because I thought that was already known 😅
So for me, the reveal definitely wasn’t a huge moment.

hahaha that’s actually a pretty hilarious anti-reveal, cause you didn’t know it was meant to be a secret… lol But also, that makes perfect sense, especially for someone watching the show 2020 onwards, after there have been so many vampire YA television shows and movies. Like, Edward Cullen walks on screen with his extended family, and you immediately know they are vampires. The Salvatores walk on screen, and its ridiculous that Elena doesn’t immediately figure it out, cause it’s so obvious. True Blood never bothered making a secret out of the vampire bit, to pretty much anyone, at least not for very long… so yeah, it must be so crazy obvious, if you watch the show now. Thanks for that insight! Very interesting!!
