"Were we in love?"
Guys, I've recently finished to re-watch the show, and I still going down with this ship.
Since I've made a few tributes to Buffy and the Buffyverse, I've decided to made one about the spin off, which is in an incredible low quality, I'm sorry but I couldn't be able to find the episodes in 1080p or at least in 720p. When I watched Buffy for the first time I remember I didn't like Angel at all.
I didn't hate him, but I didn't like him either way. His character was extremely boring, and the relationship he had with Buffy was so lame, that the moment they introduced Spike I automatically loved him more, not just for the charm, but for his sarcasm, his humor, he brought new life into the show, and I gradully started to ship him with Buffy. So the moment the spin off aired I wasn't very much excited, till I watched the pilot.
Damn, the new project makes me change my mind about Angel, maybe because the story was all about him this time, so we got to know more about him and his past. Now, I don't remember exactly the moment I started to ship this two.
Maybe in the episode where Doyle died. When Cordelia hugged him and cried into her arms. But I really loved how this relationship has evolved during the seasons and how they started to fell in love with each other.
The first 3 seasons were my favorite, but then somehow in Season 4 I gradually losted interested, because I remember I didn't like what they did to Cordelia, how they turned her into a "villain", maked her slept with Connor (and yes, after all this time it's still a big "what the f*ck?!?") and then she gived birth to... a woman ??? (for real?). They were hight when they writed that storyline? That Season was insane and absolutely the worst. Season 5 was so much better, they introduced Spike and a lot new dynamics, but still I missed Cordelia so much, she was the heart how the show. I'm glad that Joss at least gived her one last episode, which it's still one of my favorite. He basically showed how much Angel needed Cordelia in his life, and how lost he was without her. I cry my eyes out everytime I watch the very last moment when she said "Oh, and you're welcome." before disappearing. I still think that this relationship was so much better and healthy than the one between Buffy & Angel. Cordelia makes him smile. Like, a lot! (which is something that didn't happen very often), they both support each other whenever there's a problem, plus they both make each other a better person.
Even if I'm still sad about that ending, I'm still gratefull because they showed how perfect they were for each other, and how special this relationship was. We all know Joss didn't gave any happy ending to his couples. One of them always dies in the end (Willow/*Tara, Buffy/*Spike, *Anya/Xander, *Wesley/Fred ecc...), so...
