Angel 3/19 (Spoilers)

[John Crichton]

IMO I think it is, if I use your own logic, which is based of self centric analysis and not that of characters, I still disagree. If I were afraid of Angelus, I would not want to be isolated by myself, in a room where no one can see me, in a room no one can hear me, in a room without any defences, ALONE.

When my friends are injured, I visit them, no matter how busy I am. There has been plenty of opportunity. If my friend was mentally anguished over a situation, I would confort them. The Conner only thing may be neccessary for story, but it is a weakness in the portrayal of the characters. THAT IS MY OPINION. I AM SORRY IF YOU DO NOT AGREE.

Whoa.

One thing that would help this conversation would be to try and figure out how many days have passed since Angelus has been out and around. It's probably no more than a few days. Additionally, we have no proof that no one but Connor has visited her in said days. Maybe just poking a head in or knocking on the door; it is possible. Plus, Cordy has been very isolated since her return anyway. She has really only spoken to Angel and Connor on the one-on-one basis. The rest she almost always speaks to as a group.

I guess my point is that her estrangement is not something new. I respect your take on the situation, KnowTheToe as it affects the way you view the show and your entertainment level. I just happen to disagree because of the way I see the situation.

Add to things that Cordy doesn't really want to see anyone and that the Angel crew isn't exactly concentrating on her and it makes perfect sense to me. Now if they had some reason to keep an eye on her besides trying to figure out what was going on and not get slaughtered by Angelus then I could see her isolation being a bit contrived. No big.

This I can respect. I also agree it was only 2-4 days of time. I feel that because Cordy has been the only one to provide them any information, that they may have included her more in what was going on. Also half the crew was not doing anything. Fred was reading, but you can only read/research so much, Gunn was doing nothing, he is not a researcher and was not doing much else that I saw. Lorne answered the phone and Conner was getting the wool pulled over his eyes. There was plenty of time for real interaction. Cordy is also really showing her pregnancy and could not hide it from even a casual observer. I have to assume that was intentional, cameras often hide pregnancies.

It is not a huge hole, just a minor railroading in the plot. It happens. The show is still excellent and was well written. I probably became a little argumentative when I was told my opionion was wrong, too much time in Nutkinland.

LOL, totally understandable. It is good to know that we agree that is it a minor point and the show is still entertaining.

Or do what I do and watch it as you record it so you can watch it a second time so you can get all the details

Knowthetoe,

i was saying you were wrong per se. Im just saying its not a hole. That is my opinion. And remember, she isnt defenceless. She has used her 'light' ability before and she has her own room. meaning, a vampire cannot come in UNLESS invited. Cordy wouldnt be stoopid enough to do that.

But i have some info as to whats happening so it will all make sense anyway.

Yeah, man. You went absolutely nuts with those future Angel spoiler threads.

It took all of my willpower to not click in to any of them. Doesn't it ruin the surprise and entertainment knowing all of that before you get to experience/watch the eps? Or was it just too tempting to pass up? I've been there...

EDIT: Damn, man! You've got the whole next month up there! I'll have to find a clever way to get back at you for this. My willpower is weak. I will be broken as I visit this forum waaaay too much and will see those threads every time I come in...

 

[Angelsboi]

I have all but the last two episodes =)

And i wanted to stay spoiler free this seasons but i have a friend on the inside who gave me the info.

 

[John Crichton]

Well, in that case you are obligated to post spoilers! I'd do the same thing to perfectly honest. Too much of an opportunity to pass up. The tricky part for me is not clicking any of them by accident...
