I'm kind of opposite when it comes to Cordy. I love cordelia, but I hated her as teenager. I grew to love her in Ats. This is when I think her character really shone around seasons 1-3. I also the love the trope of the mean girl/bitch with a good heart. I tend to fall quickly for characters like that.

I still can kill Joss for what he did to Cordy's character seasons 4-5 of Ats.

And thinking about it, yeah the only awesome parent was Joyce. And he killed her off. I mean I thought at least one parent would be like 'uh, why are you out all the time, and why are you hanging out with that very adult man.' I know I would with my own kids.

I love Joss, but I diffidently not blind to his faults.
