* A recurring characteristic of vampires and demons in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' and ''[[Angel (TV)|Angel]]'' is their desire to bring about Hell on earth, releasing the [[Eldritch Abomination|Old Ones]]. This seems particularly nonsensical for vampires, who require mortals to feed on to stay sane. It's probable they think they'll be rewarded in the new order, which given the capacity for gratitude the Old One seen in the series demonstrated towards its summoner (i.e. not making any attempt to save him when he was killed, nor caring that he was) seems unlikely. It doesn't even appear to be a trait of the transformation, because when Angelus met The Master and learned that he considered the purpose of vampires to be worshiping the Old Ones, ceasing only to feed, he promptly decided [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]].
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] and Subverted when [[Complete Monster|Spike]] decided to help the good guys save the world, because:

The truth is I like this world. You've got dog racing, Manchester United, and you've got people - billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs. It's all right here.}}
