Perhaps, but that whole universe still only existed because of Cordelia's choice, which is why I think it has a good chance of getting picked as one of her episodes, which is what I meant.

Am somewhat drunk. You have to account for that. (it was on sale dammit!)

Oh, I'm absolutely certain it'll be on the list, for what that's worth -- just not that it should be.

If they do an AtS ep collection for Cordy, you just know that the absolute worst Cordy moment ever will be on there. Sadly, it's what she'll always be remembered for.

Agree with you there.

Now, what I'm wondering is about the featurette they tend to have. They can't use the Angel one, so what do we think, clips and a few rehashed clips of CC talking or *gasp* actual new interviews from people?

Yeah, yeah, I know. Trick question.

Well, it existed because of Anya's acting on a random stray thought Cordy had. She never made a choice, since she didn't know there was a choice to be made. Another reason why while "The Wish" is a lot of fun, it's fairly meaningless.

Like Season 5. Except without the fun.

Hehehe, I made a funny...

If I could only choose 4 episodes, they would be:

Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
Homecoming
Lover's Walk

If I had to create a 4 episode AtS "Cordy" DVD, it would include:

Rm w/a Vu
That Vision Thing
Billy
Birthday

And that would be it. Granted, if I was considering only 4 eps for AtS as a whole, those would still probably make the cut.

I'd want TSILA in there somewhere...

Platy's BtVS four are the one's I'd take if I could only take four. But I'd replace TVT with "Untouched" on the Angel DVD. TVT is just another Cordy-as-a-victim episode. Which, BTW, is the same reason why YW doesn't make my list.

I know that TVT is in the victim genre of Cordy episodes - but if you pretend that AtS ended at "Birthday" (which I am more and more inclined to do with each passing day), then the trifecta of TVT, Billy and Birthday kind of make up a bit of a natural character arc for Cordy. Nothing in Season 2 even touches on that, unless you count Belonging, and I have no love for the Pylea episodes. And while there are certainly other Season 1 episodes I would consider, they too fall into the Cordy as victim classification ("Expecting", "TSILA") and so I'd rather have a victim ep that at least is meaningful in light of the two episodes in the arc that follow it.

I wish it was for Angel instead of BTVS, but still it's about time. As for my choices:

BTVS:

Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Reptile Boy
Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
Homecoming


Angel:

Rm w/a Vu
First Impressions
That Vision Thing
Birthday

In my opinion, The Wish isn't a Cordy-centric episode, because she dies halfway through the episode. It makes more sense on the Willow DVD, along with Dopplegand. And Lover's Walk, Cordy plays such a small part of the episode, I can see this on a Spike-centric DVD or the inevitable Buffy/Angel DVD.

For the Angel episodes, I think Billy is really a Wesley-centric episode, while I love the Cordy portions of the episode, it makes more sense on a Wes-centric DVD or possibly Fred. Personally, I feel that First Impressions is much more Cordy-centric than Billy. FI shows Cordy really starting to accept responsibility for her visions. But, it could also fit on the Gunn-centric DVD. My fifth choice would be Parting Gifts where Cordy first gets the visions.
