tonight's Angel spoilers

Connor, I've been sitting here, rooting for you all season. It's lonely being one of the few people in fandom who actually likes you, but I have.

Now, I feel betrayed. I really expected better.

...

......

...........C'mon man! You had freakin' Darla come to your rescue! Your ass ought to have been saved, from just the sheer coolness of her. You suck. I feel like my cheers were wasted.


So let me get this sorted out:

Spike has mommy issues.
Buffy has mommy issues.*
Drusilla has mommy issues.*
Connor has mommy issues.
Wood has mommy issues.


Methinks... Joss has mommy issues. Or at least, parental issues. Or Marti does. This season is all about the 'rent issues.

* also have major Daddy issues, but Mommy issues not to be discounted.


That said....

OMG Wesley! There was rolling! Superfluous rolling with guns in hand! It's Agent 009, Wesley W.P., Her Majesty's top secret spy among those damned American demon fighters! Watch as he rolls with sexy grace to come up one knee, pistol raised to hit that special wound that slays the demon!

I'm taking the opposite view on the Connor issue.

I couldn't stand the little twit since he first showed up. Really, really did not like him...until last night. The boy is screwed up. He's alone, or feels that way. He said it himself, none of you like me and well..it's true. His life has been one big angstfest from birth and he doesn't know which way is up. His memories are centered around a horrible world that he had to fight to survive in and a fatherfigure who constantly showed his morality down the boys throat. So, he comes back to the regular world and all those things he's known without a shadow of a doubt are no longer true. Yeah, I'd have issues. So flash forward a bit, make some really stupid choices and that 'daddy' is gone and you're stuck with these people who don't like nor want you and that you still haven't figured out whether to trust or not. Except one. Who tells you you're perfect just the way you are and don't need to change to fit the status quo. Not to mention, teen hormones and first love. Hell yeah, he's gonna listen to Cordy. Who else has he got? Darla? A five minute vision of a woman everyone around you said was evil? Or the one person who has been there all along.

Given the situation and working directly from his viewpoint, he made the only decsion he could. I don't blame him for it. Which is hard to say cause I despise the character.

At the risk of sounding cheesy, I don't think death is going to redeem him. Understanding, some time and a bit of growing up should do nicely, because techniaclly it wasn't him to actualy kill the girl. he played a part but he didn't commit the act, I think it can be worked past. Don't have a clue what he's supposed to do now that the center of his world is gone.

Okay, done rambling.

You've listed the many reasons I felt sorry for him all season, and sympathized with him. Until just now. Don't like him now.

because techniaclly it wasn't him to actualy kill the girl. he played a part but he didn't commit the act, I think it can be worked past.

See, that's where I'm goign to disagree.

He caught her, brought her to Cordelia, kept her imprisoned, and practically held her down while Cordy whacked at her neck. Then he soaked his hand in her blood and performed a dark ritual. Hell yeah, he's every bit as responsible as Cordelia for this girl's death. Cordy would never have gotten her if Connor hadn't kidnapped her first, thereofre this wouldn't have occured without thim, therefore he's as guilty as her, as guilty as if they had taken turns with the knife.
