2024-03-27 06:47:17 +0000 UTCNow that you've seen 5x12, you may be interested in a brilliant 2004 essay by author Jenny Crusie, called 'The Assassination of Cordelia Chase'. Crusie does a deep dive into into all the elements that made Cordelia such a brilliant and beloved character, and she discusses how the show's writers destroyed the character (mind you, this essay was published long before the revelations about Joss Whedon's abuse of Charisma Carpenter were made public). I especially liked the concluding paragraph: "She grew and changed but she was never anything but Cordelia Chase until the writers were corrupted by the Beast and betrayed her and the viewers who loved her. As a cautionary tale, the Character Assassination of Cordelia Chase is tragically invaluable. As a great, great character, Cordelia is sincerely mourned." https://web.archive.org/web/20151222093251/http://jennycrusie.com:80/for-writers/essays/the-assassination-of-cordelia-chase/

I get that now!โ Angel 5x12 Youโre Welcome Cordelia: โDoyle pissed me off so righteously going out like that! But he knew. Knew what he had to do. And didnโt compromise. He used his last breath to make sure youโd keep fighting. I get that now!โ
