Oh that's right. Wasn't it because he didn't want Fred to have killed someone? Pfft, whatever.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Cordy/Connor didn't bother me because the show acknowledged the wrongness and was all OH YEAH I'M MAKING YOU WATCH THIS, MWAHAHAHAHA.
Cordy/Angel, I got the impression we were supposed to think that was a good idea, and, no. Sorry, no.
(And okay, I loved every second of Connor onscreen. I've forgiven Pete Campbell for so many things because of Connor, you don't even know.)

Cordy/Connor derailed the impending Cody/Angel express, so I was more than happy to climb aboard.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
UGH, Angel/Cordy. Worst ship ever.
While I dry-heaved at Cordy/Connor, I actually enjoyed Connor quite a bit and loved the complexity of his relationship with Angel. "Home" and "Origin" were two of my all time favourite Angel episodes. That last line of Connor's in "Origin" -- oh, man. "You got to do what you have to, to protect your family. I learned that from my father."
I did not care for Fred/Gunn or Fred/Wesley, then Fred died horrifyingly and presto! I was ALL OVER Wes/Ilyria like white on rice. I do love them dysfunctional, yes.

Wes and Lilah for the win. Speaking of dysfunctional . . .

I liked Fred/Gunn, and pancake kisses didn't bother me even though I really think it should have been Gunn/Cordy. I loved the whole Pylea arc too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Hey, didn't Fred send her old professor through a portal to Pylea in revenge? As in, ethically-dubious, forget being the better person I'm going to get my revenge? Because if I'm remembering that correctly, then THAT was my favorite thing about Fred.
She really was going to do that. I liked that about her. I mean, bad moral decision but whatevs it was fabulous for her character.
I do love them dysfunctional, yes.
Wes/Bad Idea, yes. Wes and Lilah, Wes and Ilyria, Wes and Torture...
The ep where Angel rescues Billy from the hellfire prison was available OnDemand and I recently watched it. I do love Lilah. And totally loved early Skip. Bonus, hey, I forgot that Kal Penn was in an ep as well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I really think it should have been Gunn/Cordy
Okay, apparently I don't think Cordelia deserves a sex life, because I have to say this has never occurred to me. I totally can't see it, even now. There's no there there, for me.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
"Origin" is easily my favorite episode of all 5 seasons. (And it's the one that made me realize VK is a good actor.)
And "Home" is the episode I always remember that, during the watch-and-post, Tim (Minear, that is) was posting, and my cable blipped for about 30 seconds of the broadcast towards the end (when they're in the W&H lobby, and Lorne is saying he's going to take the job). I posted an anguished wail that my cable blipped and I missed a little part, and next thing I knew, Tim e-mailed me that chunk of the script. He's good people.

I think they could have done something with Cordy & Gunn based on "First Impressions," but the show never really did anything with that pseudo-meet cute vibe afterwards.
