Watched Waiting In The Wings this morning getting ready for work.

Poor Angel - the hopeful, soft look on his face when he approached Cordy in the hotel, stumbling while trying to tell her how he feels -

the utter stupidity of having Groo show up.

A brilliant writer like Joss shouldn't have to resort to soap-like plot devices for shock. The only thing I could think of is Groo was there to get Cordy away from LA, so that Wes would have absolutely no one to turn to, so he could kidnap Connor and change everyone's lives.

If I didn't wank it the way I did, I coudln't watch Ats beyond the third season.

Angel shoulda cold-cocked Groo, grabbed Cordelia and lock them both up in his room so he could kiss her to her senses.

Yeah.

At first, I just didn't get A/Cordy, then, with You're Welcome, I got it --- I REALLY got it.

Like you, the only way I can justify the Cordy/Groo arc is to wank it as you did. And even then? still doesn't make sense. In fact, the whole Cordelia-demon, Condelia, season 4 doesn't make sense, unless I use Joss' story goals. And then? still doesn't make sense. :-(

I'm glad YW made you see the ship - it never hit a bad note in terms of C/A. And yeah, Cordelia's demonizing and Jasmine thing just didn't make any sense. Making her evil so that Angel would have to get torn up over killing her is so Btvs S2. Once was enough, twice if you count Darth Willow at the end of S6, which had just happened.

It was a lousy rehash, or would have been if CC hadn't gotten pregnant. As it was, we got to watch her sleep with Connor and her character get violated by a possession storyline. Which was worse, I have yet to figure out.
