I was jumping up and down in my dorm-romm yelling, "yes! yes! This is the darla I want!" I don't want her to be evil, forever and ever amen, but I just want her to have some humanity in her.

Oh, you're explaining youself just fine. I too got a sense of comadarie and the feeling that these two knew each other very well. I loved the scene where Angel tells Darla: "I thought you liked pain?" and darla says, "Not this kind of pain!" It was just funny that those two fell into an age-old rhythm without even realizing this. Now, this is the type of D/A interaction I want. It's not self-concious, just is. Somehow, I don't think the relationship is broken completely just yet. They don't have a dead-horse feel that I associate with B/A or a gentle feel that is Angel/Fred or the deep friendship that could be something more with Angel/Cordy. D/A have *something*, it's just very hard for me to define right now.

>"superhero" stuff?

Well, I think it has to do with the way A/C was promoted with "Offspring". It felt as though Cordy is being pushed into this super-hero role before she is even ready to deal with it. I guess I just really didn't like the way the A/C -ship was banged over my head with Fred telling Angel about a "kye-ruption". It feels that I should be expecting romance just around the corner and I should be adoring it. I guess I hate being told what relationships or couples that are in the offing before that couple even makes with the romance. B/S was a surprise, every moment this season has been a slow unpeeling of the B/S flower and it is a sight to behold. Cordy/Angel have been rumored since the summer and I guess everyone's been conditioned to look out for signs of it, therefore we get the surge in C/A support across the fans.

It feels as though everybody should be adoring Cordy, since she seems to do no wrong and she is just absolutely perfect since she can a) hold a crossbow, b) punch a vampire and cause them pain and c) knows how to handle a sword perfectly.

I just want to see some faults, some mistakes that Cordy can make and make her feel human again. I love the visions, but I want her to learn how to control them. I want Cordy to start getting involved again in human life, while still trying to devote time to the Angel Investigations group.

You know, I don't *hate* Cordy, I love her as a character, but it pains me to feel this much resentment and I'm trying to figure out why.

That punch in the face was weird.

I guess it was Cordy's way of telling Darla that she still doesn't forgive her for biting her in offspring. I would have preferred Cordy telling Darla off with the force of words like she did with Lilah in "Billy".

>>Rest those fears, Khali!

That's hard to do when everybody and their brother is all over C/A and I used to be such a big supporter of that 'ship. It pains me to realize that I'm not backing it whole-heartedly as I do with B/S.

~Khali, who wishes she didn't feel this much confusion.
