Angel 100th ep: what if Sarah was available?

Childe of Blade · 01-12-2010, 08:59 PM

Given what we've heard about Gellar being the first choice for the writers/producers to appear for the 100th episode to "Get Angel back on Track" instead of Cordelia, What do you feel the end result would have been for the characters on the show. What would have happened to Cordy?

Cordy would never have been mentioned again. We would have had an hour of Spike and Angel fighting over Buffy.

Agreed. Cordy would have died off screen and Angel might have been informed of that fact with a phone call like the end of YW (at best).

I'm not convinced SMG was ever first choice. I think Cordy coming back was as much damage control for the fairly widespread outcry about the way CC was ousted. Sort of a "See, there, how we did that! Now SHUT UP!" if you will.

I suppose they could have lied, but I believe it was Fury on the DVD commentary for YW who said they originally wanted SMG to be in the 100th but couldn't get her. And, I think even CC said at one of the conventions that they turned to her after SMG turned them down. Once they got CC, you may be right about the damage control although I'm not sure they gave one hoot much less two about what CC's fans were saying.

I sometimes wonder if Fury or Whedon or any of the others know how offensive it is to say "well, we really SMG, but she said no so we settled for CC." Offensive to CC to be considered second choice and offensive to, not C/A fans, not *just* C/A fans, but to AtS fans in general who weren't that interested in the lead of another show mucking up AtS' one hundred. Did they ever consider that by putting SMG in there, it's saying that AtS couldn't stand on its own and needed SMG to make it 'special'? Or that a girl who hadn't been in Angel's life for a solid FIVE years would be able to get him 'back on track' while the woman he loved languished in an unseen, barely acknowledged, coma?

But then again, I am talking about the geniuses who gave the world "The Girl in Question". *spits*
