they say she's beautiful


Okay, dude, I can honestly say that I wish I'd been spoiled as hell for the last 60 seconds of the episode. I can now fully imagine how I would have felt if I'd gone into Buffy's Seeing Red unspoiled. I would have had my little fandom heart ripped out, shredded, and then shipped off. Christ.

... Christ.

Cordy. :( I won't lie and say she was always my favorite character, although things just never did feel right without her brand o' snarky bitchery around. But just as you kind of get used to not having her around and kind of tap dancing around that hole, they play Whack-a-Cordy, bring her back, and remind you just what a freakin' bad idea it was to get rid of her. Dude, I could even buy the whole Cordy/Angel ship for a while tonight, and I was never on that ship before. I was a card carrying member of the anti-spark belief club. And then, wham. She's back. She's Cordyliscious.
And they kill her.

Good. Grief.

Killed. Which I sort of, kinda saw coming with the Doyle flashes [...Doyle. :( ] but didn't really. I knew she wasn't sticking around, but I kind of hoped she was just going back to coma land.

I've been watching Charmed too long, apparently.

See that lump on the floor? That's my fandom heart. It's not looking forward to next week's episode very much, and I'm beginning to think that not even my rabid Lorne & Harmony love can lure zee lump back into moi.

Note to self: Do not watch very important episodes and fun fandom memories of your favorite character [Tara] on the same day.

Woe! It is safer to be a spoiler whore.

Dude. DUDE. Everytime I think about the episode I have the urge to just say "Dude." Because I'm in shock and disbelief. I had a feeling they were going to kill her, but we were getting into that last scene and I was thinking, "Okay, what are they going to do with Cordy because I know she's not staying."

It was like hitting a brick wall. Seriously. I so did not see it happening like that. Angel said, "When did she die?" and I cried. Literally cried out loud. The sound I made was something close to "What?!" but it wasn't an actual word. And then I cried. Waterworks. Dammit for them killing good characters.

I watched Gingerbread last night so there was a little Cordy goodness.

*sobs* Cordy! *sobs* Doyle! *sobs* Tara!

*comforts* Cordy! Doyle! Tara! Woe!

And I can see that the clone mindmeld has firmly taken hold. For I was all kinds of "Dude!" and talking to the tv. Sort of. More like, eeping at the TV. Unfair to kill her. Unfair!

Cordy.

On a TOTALLY RANDOM and UNRELATED note... did you get to watch the unaired BtVS pilot yet, Impy?

I did! I thought I told you! I thought I gushed and feared a bit for the original Willow, and marveled at the definite need for sound effects. I didn't?

Now I feel all kinds of ungrateful. And worried that I'm losing my mind. Because I could have sworn I mentioned it.

*hug* muchas gracias, btw. :D
