Ooooh, yay! I've been waiting for this ever since you started talking about writing it.

Very good. I've always had a soft spot for Doyle/Cordelia. I like how this talks about their relationship even after his death and how he still affects Cordy. Great essay!

Thanks. *smile* I'm glad I didn't scare you away with my non-stop rambling about how I was never going to finish this essay on time. ;-)

I'd often thought that it was a shame that the Doyle/Cordelia story ended just as it was beginning. I can definitely see the possibilities in the relationship, and think they would have been very good for each other. Plus, pre-S4 Cordy was my very favorite character on Angel, so I was thrilled to have her back in You're Welcome. But now, I picture Cordy and Doyle, off in another dimension somewhere, putting their feet up and catching up on all the time they missed. . .

...putting their feet up and catching up on all the time they missed...

That's one of the things I love about this 'ship. Even though they're both gone, there's still so many possibilities left to be explored. *smile* Thanks for leaving feedback, by the way. It makes me feel a lot better knowing that this essay was appreciated.

You're quite welcome for the feedback. I did two essays for idol_reflection and I know how much time and thought goes into them. It's just nice to know people have read them and appreciated your work. Also, had to mention that "The Last Time I Saw Wiliam" is one of my very favorite vids. It's wonderful!

[settiai]

Thanks. *smile* It was one of my favorites to make, though I really need to go back sometime and remaster it.

Great essay, it makes me want to go pull out my season one DVDs and watch them, right now! I can't wait to dig into the recs you've listed.

[settiai]

Thanks for leaving feedback. *grin* Have fun with those recs.

I'm glad you enjoyed the essay. :-)

I loved Doyle/Cordelia and his death definitely put me off Angel. Great summary; I really enjoyed reading it!

Thank you. *smile* I'm glad that you enjoyed my essay.
