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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think she had definite chemistry with Xander.

You're right; that worked.

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

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.

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.

Yeah, I'll give you that one. Joss was able to make it seem like there might be some viable attraction for a second or two, but no one else was able to.

Back in early seasons of Buffy I liked it that HBIC!Cordy had her sights set on Angel and seemed a workable romantic rival for Buffy. But I liked it even better that she treated him like a leper once she found out about his vampirism.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I thought Cordy/Xander worked. But at least half of the dynamic in that relationship was that it was so completely unthinkable in the social setting of Sunnydale High.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I agree. I thought the writing and acting was such that the relationship surprisingly, did end up working.

I also thought she did have some chemistry (or potential) with Wesley.

yeah...no. that was the time i wanted to scratch my own eyeballs out. it was more wrong than when they tried to make Cordy/Wesley happen.

I thought Cordy/Xander worked.

this is who she should have ended up with. or Doyle. if he hadn't sacrificed himself.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Okay, apparently there are a lot of people who didn't now Numfar was Joss Whedon. Heh.

(Turns out Mark didn't know after all, too!)

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Numfar, do the dance of unpreparednesss!
