Actually, in all the many years I've been a Buffy fan, and through all the many times I've watched Season 2, I've never watched Ms Callendar die. I've always either had to turn away or watch the thing in fast forward. Which possibly makes it both the best and worst moment of the whole series.

I'm with THIEFJEHAT - it *needed* to happen to move the storylines along. Still, it was one hell of a shock to see. What disturbed me most about it wasn't just that he killed her - it was the WAY he killed her. Cold. Ruthless. He didn't even drain her blood or offer to turn her into a vamp; he just snapped her neck and threw her away like trash.
It was one of those moments that let you know, in no uncertain terms, just HOW evil Angelus really was. Seeing him torment and/or kill "lesser" characters just wouldn't give you the same feel for him. Seriously, after he killed Jenny, I didn't think I'd ever be able to like Angel again. Just one more way Joss toys with our emotions...
Grrrr. Arrghh.

Ditto. Well put, all y'all!
Then, the way Angelis plays with Giles, roses strewn in his apartment, leading him up the stairs in anticipation. Much as I hated Angelis for all of this, it's one of my favorite examples of Joss plumbing the depths of depravity.

Yeah, but we had hopes he would be.

I'm not the first to point this out, I'm sure, but what else could possibly happen to a character named "Calendar"?
Her days were numbered.
Foreshadowing, meet black comedy. Black comedy, foreshadowing. I just know you two are going to get along famously...
