I don't feel like she's wasted potential. That kind of implies that she wasn't used enough or for nothing important, and I disagree with that. The show being cancelled on the other hand, not giving us more time with Angel Investigations and their new ally; well, that was wasted potential alright.

Illyria: "There was a time when nightmares walked amongst us. Now,they are trapped inside the minds of humans. What did they do wrong to merit such,a terrible fate?" Me: " well to answer your question Queen Illyria, unlike you Nightmares got bored,and wanted to become prison wards to their former slaves.." How Ironic the tides have turned,to be figment of the human imagination than to go away with a blink of an eye.. Now humans are the masters of their own Self Depravity,Self Loathing,Self Destructive Nature and can claim themselves as the Unworthy,Undesirables,Unloved,The Rogues and the Infestations Plagues as They always Wanted to be.. Are they not their own masters right now? or did they actually trade even further disillusions for another falsehood of death? " Illyria: "Is there nothing left but Hope and mindless killing and suffering ..?" Me: "Sadly, no there's nothing left..."
