I remember Plei saying that she started watching Angel in the middle(ish) of S2, and that she seriously thought that Wes and Gunn were in a relationship.
No, I started watching Angel the day it aired. I did, however, seriously believe (pre-fanfic days) that Wes and Gunn were in a relationship in S2. Like, they introduced Fred, and I was wicked confused, because weren't those guys both gay?
Ahem.
(Later, I'm watching that one where Fred decides to stay, and they're painting her room, and I'm kind of seeing where they're working in the eventual triangle, and then Wes and Gunn start arguing about painting techniques or something and they are SO TOTALLY MARRIED, and I throw up my hands and give up trying to believe in their heterosexuality again.)
I *did* think on rewatch that they were building to Cordy/Gunn at one point. Which would have rocked. For what it is worth.

See, I would have sworn you started mid-S2, because that was my only explanation for you assuming they were in a relationship (as in, maybe you thought you just missed the episode where they first got together or something).
But no, you just have the glorious gift of seeing the slash wherever it may lurk. In plain sight.

Wow, that possibly could have spared us pain from so many directions.
Yes, it would have. I like the Fred/Gunn, but would have happily given it up to not have the Saint!Cordy/Angel. While I admit that I was a B/A shipper (who am I kidding with the "was"), that shit just didn't work.
I like the Fred/Gunn
I liked the IDEA of Fred/Gunn (Funn? Gued?), but the reality involved pancake kisses.

I am sitting next to Vortex.

Nope! In fact, until I got the DVDs, the only episode I'd missed was pre-Gunn (Room w/a Vu? Was that how they spelled it?).
Which happened to be the one that my then co-worker's son had a bit part in.
I think I just assumed they'd have a Willowriffic coming out in S3 or something. But, seriously. The yay was strong in those two. Like, Holmes/Watson strong. Or Kirk/Spock. Or Dan/Casey.
It was blindingly strong.
And then, of course, in season 5, they had Gunn, while under a spell of some sort or other, mark his territory being peeing ON Wes.
Smile Time gets a shout out in EW.
Very brief piece comparing the Henson Company's "Happytime Murders" to the wee little puppet man ep.
