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.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.
'Never Leave Me'
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
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.

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.

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.

That's definitely something I'd need to see proven, since I didn't see them play out with much chemistry or potential beyond the platonic.

Wes and Lilah for the win. Speaking of dysfunctional . . .
"Keep the glasses on..."

But Cordy never had chemistry with anybody. Not sexual chemistry. Not with Angel, not with Wes, not with Groo, not with Gunn. She's the anti-Spike.

I think she had definite chemistry with Xander. I also liked her with the Groosalug.

You're right; that worked.
But maybe that's more on NB since he had good chemistry with Willow, Anya and Spike.
