About THOSE spoilers...

[littleheaven]

I posted this at ST, and I thought I'd put it here too. It's just my opinion, don't hate me for it *g*


I don't believe it until I see it with my own eyes. For a few reasons... Why would Charisma encourage us to watch her character be killed off? She said that if you were a Cordy fan, you would love the episode. I don't buy the "she was duped" scenario at all. Charisma doesn't strike me as someone who would take that, considering she has made it clear she would only come back for a satisfactory storyline for Cordy. And if Joss holds out any hope of luring Charisma back for the last eps of the season, seeing that SMG has ruled it out, he'd be ruining that chance by bold-faced lying to her about the ending of this one. As someone else said, the poster at TWOP seemed to really dislike the Cordy/Angel kiss. They're probably laughing their backsides off right now at all the fuss they've created - having a damn good giggle at our expense.

All of that having been said, if Cordy is killed off, well, it's not like we expected her to come back anyway. It will just give me even more reason to blub like a baby at the end of the ep, which I plan to watch and cry all the way through, because I know it's probably the last time I'll ever see my beloved Cordelia, whether she ends the ep alive or not.

Lastly, if it is correct, and Charisma knows about it, well, going by what she said in her recent interview, then she's happy with the way it all turned out. She wanted us to watch, that was pretty clear. And if she, of all people, was cool with the whole thing, then I'm cool with it. I'd rather see my heroine go out in a blaze of glory than just be forgotten about.

Of course, in the Buffy/Angelverse, death isn't always the career-ender it used to be. Darla died and came back four times (vampire, human, vampire, ghost). So all hope is not lost of seeing Cordelia again. But I get the feeling that Charisma has called it quits, and I will miss Cordy terribly.

I don't think Charisma knew about her character being killed off. Angel gets the phone call after she left- and that could've been the end of her script.

Sad, nonetheless.

I've just re-read the spoiler summary, and the phone rings while they are kissing and Angel says he doesn't need to answer, and Cordy tells him he does, (presumably because she knows what the call is about). So I think she would know. And as I said before, I don't think Joss would trick her because I think he might still need her to come back for the last eps. As much as he seems to dislike Cordy, I think he'd put his own needs/wants over that. Why would he totally alienate her (again) if he thought he might need her back for the end of the series? Not that I think she'd come back anyway, but that's beside the point... Still, this is pure specualtion on my part. All will come out in the end.

And as you say, sweetie, it IS sad, whatever happens. This is our last look at Cordy. I've been feeling sad about that for weeks. We'll all have to get together for a post-ep blub-fest, huh?
