Spin The Bottle: shouldn't Cordy know Angel? Also, Wesley has become great this season.

If they were reverted to their 17 year old selves, she would know what vampires are. And slayers and Watchers.

She first met Buffy when they were turning 16 so even if they were 16 she would know all about that stuff and recognise Angel.

This episode was HILARIOUS.

Also, Wesley has becone amazing! He became an actual rogue demon hunter! I knew he was going to improve, but WOW. Doesn't make up for what is going on with Cordy, but does give me someone to root for in place of her.

My only complaint: Wesley says to Lilah at one point 'I could care less'. If there is one particular gripe us brits have with American English, it is that phrase. No English man, no matter how long spent with Americans, would ever say it. If you could care less, it means you do currently care!

Halfway through the show and LOVING it. But Angel on Buffy makes no sense

I'm towards the end of season 3 and love it! I don't think I've ever seen a show where I really like all the main characters, even when they were introduced later on. I thought I would find Wesley annoying but he's become amazing.

My only problem is that by making Angel seem like an actual person, an adult, I just can't imagine him dating a high school girl.

The same person who could be so sensitive to the girl who was abused by her father - he could see a 15 year old as a potential date?

My only explanation is that when he grew up, the times saw young teenage girls as marriage material for older men. But even so I find it hard to believe.

(Edit: I have no problem with innopropriate age gap relationships on a teen drama featuring vampires, they are to be expected. It's just that it seems out of character for him to date a 15 year old. With the teen girls he encountered on Angel, he acted almost paternal.)

I love him and Cordy! She's the reason he's become much happier and more personable. She's pretty much the only one who made him laugh. And it doesn't have the whole soul mates, overly angsty vibes, but love built on friendship.

I know it doesn't work out between them. Are there any good fanfiction where all the bad stuff i know is about to happen with Cordelia doesn't occur and they make it work? I checked A03 and haven't found anything good.
