LOL, no one ever said I was helpful. Or I didn't at least. ;D But yeah, 20 Songs could definitely work. And see, you already have ideas.
And I'll just have to wait and see what it is.
See, I actually like S4. I'm biased because it was the first season of Angel I ever watched episodes of, so going in I didn't know the characters the same as everyone else, but I still enjoy it and I do rewatch it. Though I admit to there obviously be lots of problematic things. But I like darker Wesley and Angelus and Faith and it has Gina Torres and the end Fred arc makes me happy. So yeah...This might be one of those things we disagree on. BUT I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON CORDELIA'S DEATH. That whole episode and then that scene. Yeah, it makes me cry too. Especially because now I've seen comparisons to that and the pilot, where she tells him that its all just temporary and then her telling him she can't stay. And yeah, it makes it so much worse. (I'm a sucker for parallels and foreshadowing but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.)
LOL, stalking the Nikita tag probably helped. Though I agree, most things fandom related tend to be geared far more towards pairings (canon or not) than character related or friendships. Which is kind of sad (despite how much I love some of those parings), I would love for more character-centric stories to read instead of pairing centric. I mean, I enjoy both and I probably write more of the pairing centric so I'm as much to blame as anyone, but still. It would be nice.
I think you're right about Martha, she almost died a bunch of times, but never actually died. For Oliver, both times you included and I'm pretty sure he flat-lined in Toxic, though obviously they saved him. And I always thought Lois died in the end of S6 when Chloe healed her. It never specifically says it, but I always thought she did. There was way too much blood loss and the time it would have taken Chloe to get there...I can't imagine her surviving. LOL, see I forgotten like half the times Clark died. He really has to work on that indestructible thing.
It's true. Clark/Lois was far less destructive, but it doesn't mean he was really all that nice to any of her boyfriends. I mean even him and Oliver struggled with friendship for most of their time on the show, it wasn't until the last season that I think they really were friends who understood each other. Or as most as they could. LOL, its true. It might have been best she dodged that bullet. But then, out of everyone, I think Chloe always knew the best what should would have been getting into. But it still would have been Clark and well, we've discussed this. ;D
Its one of those things that I think will always bug me. Because Sam Jones asked to leave, they didn't write him out, so you know things would have definitely been different. But different how?
