What about Gunn's sister? That was surprising.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You're right -- War Zone, May 9th, sweeps.

Doyle and Cordy were the ones that really hurt me
I cried for Doyle, it was so unexpected. I didn't mind Fred, and the death was so overwrought. I disliked Cordy so much by that point that I honestly don't quite remember how she died.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I was surprised at how much I felt Fred's death, since the character wasn't doing much for me anymore. I think in a lot of ways I was hurting for Wesley more than Fred.
The last Cordy ep was a fun reminder, but I so loathed the character by that point that it didn't really have any emotional resonance.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I was just the opposite—she'd been dead to me at least since "Tomorrow," but Fury brought the real deal back just in time to make her death hurt. Thank God.

What is even happening?
What Matt said. I was grateful to be sorry, rather than relieved, that Cordelia died. I was grateful to be able to miss her.

I was glad that she got a sendoff fitting her earlier incarnation better than her later, but I had used up all my sad. I was happy they did her justice, and that she was gone.

Art Crawl!!!
What Matt said. Plus, I was so happy that she got a good send-off.

It really was a triumph of writing for Fury, and a very worthy sendoff for both the actor and character. Yeah, I think I felt gratitude too.

Wrod. I so didn't see it coming. I had hope in my heart for a return of Interesting!Cordy. I had missed a few episodes that season (crappy local station, mumble, mumble, grrr ), so that might have had something to do with the blindness, but props to Fury for the writing too.
