Angel 100th ep: what if Sarah was available?
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 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* |

I guess I should be specific when I've got my hate on, but yeah, I don't care who directed it. I care about who wrote it, because they're the ones who discarded four years of growth for Angel when they had him and Spike act like twelve year olds fighting over a favorite ride. Spike didn't look too good, either, tbh. The man who made that speech to Buffy in Touched shouldn't have been reduced to "neener, neener, you got there first but I was there longest".
Not knowing crap about the inner workings of Greenwalt's mind, I can't speculate if this was another job to him or if he hated every minute of trying to make such recidivous drivel look good. |
I also think if Sarah had did the 100th ep, Cordy would have died offscreen. As for Spike, I liked him much better on BtVS.

WORST! EPISODE! EVER!!! |
I vaguely remember that this ep involved Buffy and Spike. Can anyone give a quick synopsis for those of us who had quit watching prior to The Girl in Question?
