This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.

U R so stoopid!!1!! GrOoNnUmFaR4Eveh!!1!!!
(No, really. It's a real ship with real fic, which is one of those wonders of fandom that will amaze me forever.)
(Although Matt has a point. Groo's love/lust for Cordy, unlike Angel's, seemed believable. Hum. Back to GuNNNAnGle4EvaH!1!!)
I read the spoilers about the mystical/spiritual birth of Jesus. Seems sloppily written to me, but we'll see how it comes across on TV.
Was it the manger scene? It does sound a bit ... unreal.
Groo's love/lust for Cordy, unlike Angel's, seemed believable.
Of course, because it was. Angel and Cordy, on the other hand, were never really in love--althought they loved each other as friends--and were just drawn to the idea of being on love with each other out of frustration with their own lives/a desire to cling to some semblance of normality.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
Victor-you are absolutely correct! Cordy had had the whole turning-into-a-demon-almost-dying-from-visions thing, while Angel had had the whole crazy Connor thing, through which Cordy stuck by him and comforted him. Also Angel seemed vulnerable after the loss of Connor, and they were both separated from Wesley, their oldest friend at AI.

Not to mention the also shared loss of Doyle, whom Cordy DID harbor deep feelings for, and who was one of Angel's first real friends, aside from Buffy.
Good point.

Now you've gone and made me all nostalgic for the days when it wasn't Cordy that was the Angel Investigations employee who found the boss attractive.

Sigh. We had a good two seasons where it was everyone BUT Cordy.

Gunn remained a holdout for the entire duration, IMHO.
But y'know, if one were to assume that Wesley's guy crush on Angel wasn't entirely platonic admiration and need for affirmation....
Didn't his close rapport with Cordelia first begin to cool down a bit when Angel's number one priority became getting back in her good graces post-"Epiphany"? And by the time "Waiting in the Wings" rolled around and Angel was pretty obviously crushing on her, they'd gone from joking camaraderie to acting unaware of each other's existence. While I don't really see much evidence for the idea in canon, it would do a better job of explaining why Cordy & Wes got so frosty toward each other than anything else I've heard.
