When Marcus is torturing Angel, Spike implies he's vampire.


But later in the episode, he's referred to as a torture demon.


anyone else catch that?




Anyway it still was a good episode and nice to see both Oz and Spike in LA.


LMAO at him improvising Angel and Rachel's conversation, especially the crack about the "Nancy" hair gel.
 
I loved him improvising the conversation 😀

A vampire IS a demon. Just as humans are mamals. So technically he is right calling him a torture demon. I don't think he meant it as in "the name of this demon is a torture demon", more that he's a demon that likes torture.

But now im confused. If a vampire is a demon, then we have some Initiative issues. In the Buffy episode A New Man, Riley and Walsh distinguish between vampires and demons. Riley took out 11 vampires and 6 demons. If they are one in the same...

Lets just say that the Initiative is stupid. 😉


But vampires is a kind of demon. There's no doubt about that. Just very common ones. Probably the most common ones and that might be why they make the difference.
 
The distinction is more along the lines of born demons like Lorne, while vampires were human before being infected by a demon.
There is a difference, but vampires could still be classified as a subcategory of demons.

And Marcus is a vampire because he very obviously got killed by the wood in him once Angel took off the ring. Also, bumpy forehead.

Illyria always referred to vampires as "halfbreeds," which might support the argument that vampires aren't true demons, but instead vessels FOR demons. A fine point, certainly, but that would explain why, in both shows, there is always the distinction between vampires and "regular" demons, plus why some demons tended to think of vampires as sort of second class citizens in the demon world.
 
i think it was more meant as a figure of speech and not literally meaning demon (if that makes any sense) he didnt meant it as actually a demon, but more torture was what made him a demon (well it makes sense in my head) sorto of like torture mechine - torture demon . . . ok shutting up now
 
I agree with white Avenger. Vampires can be referred to as demons and it is still correct. Also, since vampires are technically demons inhabiting (reanimating) a human body, they are "half-breeds" or in other words, half demon and half human.

Doyle was probably using a figure of speech to say Marcus was a "demon" is my guess. Sort of like when Buffy says Spike is a monster. Or when Spike tells the Buffybot hat all vampires are monsters.
