I understand, Blue. It's almost as though the writers are bending over backwards to make Cordy into this super-chick when what is really needed is for Cordy to start examining her visions, finding out if she can control them and finding out what other powers she has other than seeing the future. can she see the past? Can she see other people's futures by toughing their garment or something. Cordy's vision-girl, but she's not really doing much about them other than smile and joke about the "mindnumbing, earth-shattering visions".

Really? I'm glad I'm not the only because like I said before, if this stuff were happening early last year, I would have been completely backing the relationship. Now, I'm not completely supporting it whole-heartedly as I am with the B/S-ship with Buffy.

>Yeah, in addition to the slow way the writers have

Plus, with B/S, we got to see things from Spike's point of view and we were feeling the anguish and pain that came from him loving Buffy. With Angel, I really don't know. I really wish he could date because that would give me a better feel for his wants and desires. So far, Angel has had two major relationships: Darla and Buffy and those experiences are so limited since he dusted Darla and we all know how well the relationship with Buffy worked out.

I would think they would take a

The curse is a biggie. I've got a whole bunch of theories regarding that one, but until the writers start giving us specific details about that albatross, Angel's relationships need to be developed at a slow pace, even though I do believe it's about time they started really pursuing a love interest for the vamp.

Even with the Lullaby spoilers, what I'm wondering is how far the writers are going to let Darla grow and change. Then again, I'm mentally having arguments advocating Darla-change, which is what I did with Spike before Fool For Love aired.

>Oh and Fred too.

Fred, too, has a place in Angel's life. I really like her. She gets the sweet and cool award from me at this point in the season.

Let's not forget that she abandoned him in The Trial flashback, so there's a lot of back and forth between those two regarding their feelings for each other. I guess what the flashbacks show us is that Darla/Angel have a constantly changing relationship.
