Neck snapping.
Right. I remember now.
I see Buffy and Zoe as way different, not least of all because of my Zoe!crush, and my inability to see Buffy becoming a woman who inspires that sort of feeling in me.
But ... I never would've asked why Z/W, or B/X (well, except to ask you, right now -- I just don't think they're OTP material).
What's your supporting documentation? Besides that she fights and he's a goof?
Yeah, but this kind of thing can't be canoned through, it's a gut feeling thing.
Cereal:
Nevermind Hec said words better.

I know it can't be canoned, but I suspect my gut feeling that Harmony would have slept with Cordy, then, is more baseless than Hec's B/X.
If it's not up for expansion, it's hardly a conversation starter. And Hec knows his conversation starters.

Nonsense! Harm and Cordy at a party + too much alcohol...
Okay, yeah, there's not much of a conversation there.
I think I remember a reference to Joss saying he was thinking about making Xander gay, but am I merely playing wish-fulfillment games with myself?
I could picture it. Not exactly admiringly, but...H/C, I meant.
I think B/X is OTP in the sense that Joss is Xander and Buffy is the woman he always wanted in HS but never got.
Should there have been B/X? I think it would have been a showkiller, even though it was probably the "rightest" of the pairings. X is the nice guy that gets taken home to (dead on the couch) mother eventually, as opposed to DumpsterFuck!DeadBoy. When could it have happened? Early S7? Mid S5? S4 pre-Riley (around Beer Bad?)? (although that one would have been too soon for sure).
Rambly ramblings, I'm not wedded to any of this stuff.
No Connie, I recall him saying at somepoint that the groundwork was laid deliberately for either Willow or Xander, they just hadn't decided which one yet.
