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.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.
Xander ,'Empty Places'
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
"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 . . .

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.

How about Doyle?

There's a spark or two. To be honest, there were a few times where she and Angel worked. I thought "Waiting in the Wings" was about the highpoint of that ship.
