LOL Sorry about that, I was extra braindead yesterday:
Connor. I guess since you had to wait for that, I should expound. LOL. I liked the profound change that having an impossible child wrought on my favorite character's life. I mean, not that he didn't have ENOUGH problems and complications, but throwing a child into the mix changed everything. No matter what else was going on in his universe, there was one thing more important than anything else, even saving the world.
Now, this isn't to say that the execution was perfect, or even particularly good a lot of the time. But a lot of people were opposed to the very idea of Connor throughout his arc, while I really liked the concept. And when it worked in the story, it really worked.
Thank you! And you know, I mostly agree with you on the Connor thing. I absolutely *hated* it when Darla turned up at the end of "Heartthrob"; I couldn't believe they wrote a pregnancy storyline. I thought it was such a waste. But in the end, that storyline, along with the machinations of Holtz and the later decision that Wesley made, were what kept me watching that season. Also, Lilah was pretty damn evil that year.
Because I positively loathed the budding Angel/Cordelia romance. It felt forced to me. The episode where Fred kept saying "Kye-rumption" was the worst. I was glad it kept getting derailed.
It's like I always say -- there are a number of ways they *might* have gotten me to buy a C/A romance. None of them were the way they did it. It was seriously like one day, they were awesome, a family in a truly deep brother/sister sense, then all of a sudden freaking FRED and LORNE TOLD THEM they were in love, and bam! It must be true, right?
something you hated that most people liked:
You left a blank!
*is picky*
