I also like Cordelia a lot, actually. She's self-absorbed and image-conscious, but she's fun, and her heart's... well, it's not necessarily in the right place, but it's at least in the general vicinity of her chest.
Aha, that's a perfect description of Cordelia. And agreed, she's great.
I've been thinking this for a while, but Buffy/Angel was probably a formative pairing for Stephanie Meyer. Angel is absolutely Edward Cullen and it's hilarious.
"This is the skin of a killer" is unquestionably a line Angel would say in dead seriousness if he lived in a universe where vampires sparkled. (Or at the very least, it's a line Spike would say while doing a mocking Angel impression.)
Scenes in which Willow is alone with anyone other than Buffy or Xander are generally fantastically awkward. I enjoyed the scene where Angel visits her bedroom in 'Lie to Me' as well.
You know, that's a very true observation, and one I hadn't put into words before now. (I read this and immediately a specific future scene popped into my mind, in fact.)
Passion is one of the big gutpunches of the series, and yet you really never seem to hear the spoilers for it passed around. (I was completely blindsided by it too. You can't do that!!)
'Poor Giles,' Xander said to himself, and somehow just those two words raised him greatly in my esteem. (I don't hate Xander, but he frustrates me. Still, apparently I'll give anyone points for caring about Giles!)
Xander's always frustrated me too in that I actually like some aspects of his character/moments he gets a lot, but most of the bits where he's a sexist dick have such a "that's just being a normal, relatable teenage boy, right?" tone to them that it puts me off the whole character to a fair extent.
