Angel/Buffy theory I had not heard before
Sep. 17th, 2005 01:56 pmFrom someone on RPG.net (Post 38).
Basically, one of the Powers that Be- later called "Jasmine", has essentially gone insane/was never that great to begin with, and begins manipulating Angel so he fulfills the various conditions necessary for her to manifest on Earth.
Namely, she...
-stops him from comitting suicide (freak snowstorm in "Amends") *
-gets him out of hell
She also sends the vision to Doyle that brings Angel back to Sunnydale. This makes Buffy pissed, so she comes up to LA. They then fight the demon that turns him into a human. Angel then asks to be turned back so he can keep killing stuff- and when the Oracles restore time...Jasmine makes a few alterations.
Then, later on, after Angel goes to the trials to save Darla's life, an "extra life" is created, making Connor possible. Angel then impregnates Darla- and he passes along those alterations Jasmine made all that time ago. Connor is born. Connor has to impregnate Cordelia (possessed by a kind of Jasmine-autopilot) so she can give birth to Jasmine.
*This is the first instance where The First intervened to destroy Angel, and was stopped by Jasmine. Later on, the "ghost of Darla" appears to Connor...it is my estimation that it was the First, trying to stop Jasmine. The "behind the scenes" forces behind both shows can be seen as a grand chess game between the First Evil and the Rogue Power, with the Senior Partners carrying out their own agenda in the middle.
This, of course, still doesn't make a tremendous amount of sense- but the "Guardians" who kept the Scythe worked for the Powers, and Willow's mystical potency was seemingly guided by outside forces at times...
