I was asked just a few days ago if I shipped Angel/Cordy over on ATS and I answered that, since I watched on dvd, I was too angry over how Cordelia was disappearing as a character to even care about Angel/Cordy. And then the Connor thing happened and I hardly remembered there even was an Angel/Cordy. If I had been watching in real time - who knows how I would have felt about those two? And how much more betrayed I would have felt about Cordy/Connor? This is also the case with Buffy Season Six. My husband rates that season as his favorite and he has watched all BTVS and ATS. And it is my second favorite. I blame this on marathon watching! When I went back and read some of the fandom history I could not fathom the rabid reactions going on at the time. But I started to think of how I would have felt it I was watching it week by week and it seemed a little more understandable.
