I love all these thoughts and agree with every single one of them. At the risk of rambling--ah fuck it, I'll ramble. They deserve rambling.

++The progression of Angel and Cordelia from coworkers to friends to best friends to love was lovely (though if I had watched in real time (which, I did, on and off, but was never really invested) it would have been more like painstaking).

Speaking as someone who watched this show from Day 1 when it would premiere weekly and I looked forward to EVERY SHOWING, I can say YES. YES IT WAS. By year 3 I was ~aching for them to finally admit their love! But it was a fantastic progression. Season 1 C/A makes me so happy because he's still so shut off and she's so... Cordy and by the season finale it's clear they've become more than coworkers. Not even lovers yet, just ~family and it was so lovely. I loved the bond they had over the sharing of Doyle's death and the subtle growth from there. Just, so much guh.

++"I'm only alive when I'm inside you" shall remain the sexiest line ever. In all of TV

Okay, I'll give you their final kiss. I do love that scene. It's the kind that hurts so good

Yup, yup. Season Three was ANGEL AWESOMENESS. Mainly because I love love love Fred and Gunn, and they were a great romantic relief to Angel and Cordy's tension.

I hate what they did to Cordelia's character in Season Four. I hate that they treated her so poorly and she didn't get to really say goodbye to everyone. it breaks my heart.

Ditto on all accounts, my dear.

Season 3 was just... gah! Amazing. I think I'm going to block out season 4 and pretend everyone lived happily ever after. Much easier on the heart.
