Huh, I didn't know that.
They were going to write her out of the show if she didn't get her shit together. That's why there was a cliffhanger of her disappearing.
Also Xander's role in later seasons was diminished because of Nick's alcoholism.
It's also been long rumored that NB and SMG had a fling S1 because they didn't think the show was going to get picked up. But SMG was pretty loyal to him, and in S7 she was actively pitching for more participation for Xander. Originally, they had planned to have Caleb kill Xander and then NB would play the First Evil through the end of the series.
Ooo, First Evil Xander, haunting everyone and reminding them of all they times they dismissed him . . .
Though Xander in Africa is pretty sweet as well.
I am incredibly bitter over the Jasmine shit. I paused Mark Watches for awhile, but I may start reading him again when he gets to Jasmine. I am sure he will HATE it.
I had somehow managed to completely block the very existence of Cordy/Connor from my mind. Bleh.
Cordy/Connor was so creepy and weird. She cared for him as a baby!
Cordy/Connor was just so wrong.
I cheered at Cordy/Connor, because it was a wrongness I could stomach and handily derailed the one (Cordy/Angel) that made the world fade to red whenever I saw it on my screen.
Ha, from today's LOTR review:
Also, the app I use for writing this is telling me that any sentences written in all caps are "grammatically incorrect." Look, I will punch your face, you fucking smarmy asshole. I TYPE SENTENCES HOWEVER I DAMN WELL PLEASE, and I will continue to do so while ignoring your passive-aggressive green lines.

HIGH FIVE!
Seriously, I am SO squicked by Cordy/Angel. It's not even funny.

Agreed.
S4 was my favorite. Its wrongness was so right
