Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

But they were in high school. A lot of high schoolers do major "heavy petting" but don't go all the way. It seemed reasonable to me.

And isn't that fun? Sighhh

The part that struck me false, however, was that Cordelia wasn't a virgin yet, was she? In my experience, once people start "doing it" they rarely stop without some reason.

Season 1 is my favorite too. t Goes and sits with Matt

All is well that ends in pizza.

Yes, it was in the show.

And yes, some of us did snerk.

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

Their kind of adult relationship would have included The Sex.

That's kinda ... absolute.

There *is* a point in most relationships, adult or no, where you haven't had sex yet. I didn't see a level of casual physical intimacy between them that said "nookie". Olivia -- clear, Joyce -- clear through dialogue. Jenny? NSM. He loved her a lot, wanted her, but I see no intimation other than each of our own personal interpreatations of "Adult" that they was groin bumpage.

do you mean she's already lost her virginity by the time she and Xander were dating? I honestly have no idea. Though I agree with the rest of your statement.

I was under the impression that our Cordy got around. Later on in Angel she seemed suddenly de-hotted and chaste.

Nobody

I think Cordy, in her pre-Xander days, was more likely a tease, as opposed to being sexually experienced. I doubt her first demon pregnancy (there's a phrase you don't use every day) was her first sexual experience, but I don't think it's clear she had sex in high school.

I definitely got the impression Giles and Jenny had never gotten a chance to have sex. There were two fallings out, that seemed to get in the way. Poor Giles. I should go comfort him.

Yeah, I realized after posting that I probably shouldn't have said "never." Because there's always a counterexample. You'd think I'd learned that after almost four years of Married Arguments, if nothing else...

BWAHy BWAH BWAH BWAH

Let me clarify. I should have said "eventually."

I meant their kind of adult relationship was headed towards The Sex.

t sigh It was romantic and adult and occasionally steamy and all the more tragic because Giles and Jenny had a bumpy road...and Giles looked so happy until he found her body.

Oh, not contending that. I'm sure it's exactly what Giles thought was going to happen as he went up the stairs. Just his pesky stance against necrophilia got in his way.

I just don't think they'd done it yet.

I really need to clear my head with decongestant before writing.

I think Matt the Bruins Fan is in this camp.

Yep, although I generally see Seasons 1-3 as more or less a block of Best. Television. Evah. 3 just slightly annoyed me when the B/A stuff slid into melodrama—the characterizations and dialogue were still exemplary for the most part.
