Collected Thoughts

What the hell has happened to Cordy? Where did she go? About the only positive things I have to say about this episode are:

Wes!!! Gah!!! Yum!!
Everything Lorne said was funny.
Wes and Gunn!! Gah!!! Yum!!!

Wes and Lilah's relationship is so very twisted. Usually I'm not sure who's the winner in the power play, but I think Wes was clearly last night's winner. I noticed that Fred looked GREAT, nice make up, great hair, no glasses for some reason.Not getting along with Gunn is having some kind of positive effect on her.

I feel so bad for Gunn, he thought he was doing the right thing. But then Wes was there to help him at the end of the battle and it was just like the good old days when Wes and Gunn were dating. Maybe they'll get back together. One can only hope.

JohnWooWes was hot hot hot. It was sort of JohnWoo crossed with Doom. Wes needs to carry firearms more often.

However Cordy and Connor was beyond squicksome. I couldn't watch. Icky Icky Icky. It's not just that I think those two should never ever get in bed ever, but Cordy's line of reasoning was so fucked up.

"Well, it looks like the world is ending, and you're a virgin, so let me give you this." The hell?

First, this isn't the first near Apocalypse that Cordy has faced, so she should be used to this kind of thing. Second, pity fucks are just in bad taste no matter what. Third, what happened to her little "I love you Angel, but I need time" speech. Or mabye the end of the world (presumably) negates that. I mean, really, "well, Connor, I might be in love with your father, but we're here and you've never done it, so let's do it."

And then it looks like Angel was looking on. So we have five weeks to imagine who THAT will go down. It's like a bad soap opera.

Angel: "Cordy?? What's going on?"

Cordelia: "Oh god! Angel!"

Connor:???? Angel?

Cordy: "No, Connor, not like that...look--it's your father!"

Connor: "Angelus! what are you doing here."

Angel: I came to make sure you are safe. There's a giant cloven hoofed demon on the loose, it made the sky rain fire and told me that "She wasn't safe". What the hell is going on here???? Cordy what happened to "I love you but I need time?"

Connor: "You love him?"

Cordy: "Connor, baby, it's not like that. Trust me. Angel, it's not like that, trust me."

Connor & Angel: "What is it like?"

Cordy (to Angel): The world is ending in fire. Connor hasn't had anything real in his life and I wanted to give him this.

Angel: So, it's a pity fuck.

Cordy: Well, not exactly.

Connor: what's a pity fuck?

Cordy: No, baby, it's not like that.

Angel: Cordy, you said you got all your memories back, including the ones from Sunnydale. How many times did Buffy avert an Apocalypse? Just because it looks like the end of the world doesn't mean the world will end.

Cordy: But! Rain of Fire!

Angel: Marketing Ploy.

Connor: Pity fuck?

Cordy: No, baby, I promise, it's not like that.

My trust in Joss can only go so far.
