I was pregnant with my daughter when Charisma was pregnant on the show - I was about three months behind her. Seeing what was happening with her character made me overidentify to a large degree. Even if I watched s5 in its entirety, I still wouldn't like it. Because Charisma/Cordelia was my portal of entry, the POV I saw things in. Without her it was white noise. And I'd had enough of AtS without her in s4.
I have the gist about Illyria, and I've seen her interact with Wesley just a bit. Just a bit. But, like Andrew in BtVS s7, I don't think she was needed.
But if you liked it, then that's great, because you've written a couple of really interesting and thought provoking essays so far and I don't see that very often from someone who's a Cordy fan. Usually it's "oh yeah, and Cordy was there and said that". It's nice to see the focus on her in such thinky thoughts.

Got another meta brewing? :P
