RE: Vampires' Rebirth

Although it is stated in Reunion that a newly made vampire "will reawaken on the night after the siring, sometime between sunset and sunrise", I don't think that the Buffyverse has been consistent in this. Most newly made vampires are seen in cemeteries usually due to being buried, which I believe takes a couple of days. On the other hand Alonna Gunn was a vampire almost immediately and while the sun was still out. A morris 14:09, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I apologize in advance for how much i ramble on in this post. I agree that there are inconsistencies but i think that that is simply production discontinuity. As it was explicitly stated in reunion that a newly made vampire "will reawaken on the night after the siring, sometime between sunset and sunrise", that is what should be stated in the article. This however also raises another point, The Neck wound left behind after a vampire is sired is also quite inconsistent. In Helpless, when one of the council members is sired, we see his neck wound disappear before he awakes, but in Lullaby when holtz looks at sarah's neck, he sees the puncture holes, after she had awoken and is a vampire. Another point in this is whether the body needs to be buried, reunion made it clear that although it didn't need to be in a graveyard, the body must be buried in dirt to arise, but neither the afore mentioned council member or sarah holtz or several other vampires were buried before arising. Although the need to be buried might explain the original point and the reason that vampires don't rise until a few days later might be because they need to wait until they are buried before the can awake. --Tim1423 20:18, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm new to this so I hope not to upset anyone (not just on this discussion but in general) but getting to the point: I don't think vampires need to be buried since Wesley says in "Reunion" A burial isn't necessary for a newly made vampire when Angel insists on looking in graveyards. Angel answers it's because Drusilla is a classicisist not so that Darla will rise.Nieve

We saw a vampire rise in the episode The Body in a hospital without any grave. It's safe to assume that a grave is not required. Denyer of the obvious 18:04, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Vampire resurrection

It's my opinion that Angel's return from hell by The First Evil was a relocation rather than a resurrection. -- A morris 14:13, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

• I would agree to that statment. Considdering that a sword wound like that wouldn't kill a vamp in the first place. Din's Fire 997 04:50, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

• • Removed stuff about Angel sent to hell. You both are right... its not resurrection.--Gonzalo84 05:51, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
