alternate season 5

[celestialarrow]

okay this thread is a little well alot bias. it is to all those out there that love, admire, and missed cordy in season 5. okay what if there was a way to go back and intergrate cordy into the season i know alot of people seem to think its impossible but if i had a go i'd do it like this. alright i would have cordy wake up at the very end of the fourth episode but make her return in the fifth. and that episode would be comprised of the lovey-dovey stuff everyone saying how much they missed her especially angel. then angel and cordy are about to admit thier feelings when a vision hit her and there off to fight it the whole gang. a little after that lorne and angel would be talking about cordy and him(angel) and how he feels he should give her some space so that she can readjust. then spike would be introduce his story line would be basically the same expect cordy would use her white to bring him back but the force of excerting so much light in a place of darkness drains her she'd be out of commission for a little while but not episodes though you know a little while on that episode. then i'd have lindsey make his episode arc now that spike's corporeal again and you know use him. i'd keep the damage episode but make it more graphic show dana really psychotic and cordy would be linked to her seeing and feeling her pain which is why cordy instead of angel would have saved spike and healed dana with her light like she did connor which would have given room for dana to return at the end of the series to try and atone for her wrong doing in angel's final battle. then the illyria arc cordy would have had a vision of the deeper well and send spike and angel off the england. while she and wesley comforts fred when cordy recieves a call from angel saying they cant save fred. while fred and wesley's alone the go through what happened in the original version. illyria emerges the team fights her until the ending in shells occures. after that connor would return in a two episode arc first the one in origin except some differences such as cordy recognizing him but he doesn't know her and the second after his memory return they'd discuss what happened in season 4. the team would take out the black thorn and finally face the senoir partners face to face in the final episode in that ensuring battle LA would be sucked into a hell dimension. see and there it is that's how i would do it i think joss should have brung cordy back for season 5 it would have been wonderful. oh and throughout the entire season the gang would have been figuring out way to bring down the senoir partner form the inside out. and i'd also tie up any loose ends from other seasons.

Honey, I'm not trying to be mean, but the sheer lack of punctuation and capital letters, combined with a few spelling errors and the occasional ramble, made me incapable of deciphering exactly what it is you're trying to get at. Do you think you could slow down a bit so the rest of us can follow you?

 

[celestialarrow]

basically what i'm saying is my version of what could of been done if cordy was brought back for season 5 then asking how you guys would do it.

 

[Edmund Blackadder]

Yeah - I absolutely LOVED Cordelia, would liked to have had her more in season 5 BUT if the story you proposed was the one I had to watch...I'm now satisfied with just the once in You're Welcome.

Thanks Celestialarrow, I'll never wonder 'what if' again.

RIP Cordy.

I think you missed my point. I was trying to (very nicely) encourage you to use capital letters, commas, and complete sentences in order to more coherently get your ideas across. It's difficult to read and understand something that has none of the above without a lot of effort that most people (myself included) would not want to put in for something as trivial as a hypothetical rewrite of a season.

 

[Hello Cutie]

I agree with Blondie Bear... I have an eyesight problem where I find it hard to read text on a computer anyway (it's the pixels), so having to try and read through that post with no punctuation, capital letters, or even new lines or paragraphs is almost impossible.

It'd be better if you could re-write it with all those, because you're more likely to get people to read it.

you know what thanks for the sarcasm, but i didn't miss your point evidently i wasn't planning on writing it over for one after you log out as far as i know you can't edit. And i understand that everyone doesn't have the best eyesight. So instead of trying to read it and leaving comments than has nothing to do with the thread how about you dont(oh I'm not tying the be mean either). Cause it would seem to me that would be the most logical idea.

Edit:

Maybe my idea wasn't the best but if you read the thread it said here's my take on the season try coming up with your own.

 

[white avenger]

In defense of Blondie Bear, I think you're confusing constructive criticism with sarcasm. She was trying to make helpful suggestions as to how you could present your version of Angel's Season 5 in such a way as to make it more understandable. I don't think either malice or sarcasm were intended by anything that she said.

When you have been here awhile longer, you will find that very few, if any, of the members here will intentionally insult or belittle you or any comment or suggestion you might make. Until then, just try to be patient with us. There are quite a few really talented and very interesting people here who are well worth the effort of getting to know. If you can just have a little patience with us, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Rofl at this whole situation. Relax Celestialarrow, what White Avenger said is the truth, no one here is going to be rude to you for no reason. I think that Blondie Bear had a legitimate problem in reading the text - as did I. Anyway, I got thru it, nice version of season 5! I love Cordy. I'm watching s5 at the moment and I'm starting to find it really boring, which is wierd cuz I never used to?? I think its the whole lack of Cordyness.. lol (dont worry I am biased 2)
If I were to create an alternate s5, I'd have Cordelia die really early on in the season, say episode 3, after everything's all happy and werewolf girl has reconciled with her family. The next episode would be mainly about mourning Cordy, maybe even a funeral segment... Anyway, just in time for the 'Destiny' episode, I'd regain everyone's trust in the PTB, and have them actually make Cordy a higher power - for real this time. I'm not talking bobble-head Cordy who watches from the sky, I'm talking corporeal, teleporting Cordy - with a whole bunch of powers, who can come in and save the day when needed.
And yer, she'd explain to Angel about how he was still the man and the shanshu was supposed to be his etc. etc. and she'd help out the gang thru the season... There would be no such thing as the mexican mask man episode.. But I would keep the Illyria arc, and I think I'd bring in Lilah one last time... OOOh and in the episode 'The Girl in Question', Cordy would go with Angel and Spike to Rome, and she'd be dissin' Buffy dancing etc from far away lol...

Emm - why should I come up with my own?

I actually like Season 5 as it is and don't feel the need to force a Character in just to quench a need to see her.

This show wasn't about Cordelia and in fact the lack of Cordelia IN the season was more powerful for Angels progress that adding her would only diminish his struggle - so, No, I won't 'try coming up' with my own, but thanks for the option to do so!

I definitely don't agree with this.
We aren't going to change. We're not about to suddenly wake up and go 'ok, today I don't care about grammar, punctuation or spelling and I don't mind getting a headache reading what someone posts' so why should this poster have a little patience.

Surely it is a matter of board ettiquette that she takes time over her posts to make sure that they at least show the basics of being written well.

As long time posters on Buffy Boards, the one thing that we ALL come to expect is a certain level when it comes to the way things are written, so Celestialarrow, no one will stop you from posting BUT take care in what you write and that you take time in doing that because this community is quite an intelligent one, so appreciates an intelligent poster who writes intelligently.

Thanks

 

[IdiotJed]

Yeah... that gave me a headache, trying to read it. Sorry. Grammar is important. Punctuation is really important. Not trying to be mean, but it's really not all that hard to do, you know? 🙂

The only person I was defending was Blondie Bear, because I thought that her comments had been misunderstood as being rude and insensitive toward a relative newcomer to the Board. I made no attempt to address anyone else's ill manners or belittling attitude.

 

[Blondie Bear]

To be quite honest, I was being just a bit mean. I was frustrated by the apparent lack of understanding of my point. But I think my points are still valid.

Didn't say you did, I merely said I disagreed with your suggestion that Celestialarrow be patient with us.

Sorry if that wasn't clear to you, I mean should have been with the fact that I quoted that part and said 'I definitely don't agree with this'.

If you need in the future, i'll spell it out a bit clearer for you, though I'm not entirely sure how I can do that.

If my comments in any way offended you, it's possible that you might have misunderstood my intentions.

If you wish to spell anything out for me, however, at least spell it properly. It's "I'll spell it out," not "i'll spell it out."

Thanks for the heads up there old timer.

Your comment didn't offend me, again just merely pointing out where firstly I disagreed with you and secondly how you obviously misunderstood that, so I was letting you know that in future I will be as plain as I can be for you.
It isn't anything to be ashamed about, you know, not understanding something.

Seems that you took my good natured comment and have become all grumpy over it, oh well I'll try not to lose any sleep over that tonight, and you shouldn't too.

 

[Blondie Bear]

Alright, boys, do I have to separate you? Is that what you want? You wanna be separated? *mean teacher face*

 

[white avenger]

Awwwww, shucks, Teach, we ain't done nuthin'. I was just pokin' a some fun at the little feller, an' he kinda poked back. No guns ner knives drawn yet.

 

[Blondie Bear]

Good, cause if an OCEAN isn't separated enough, I don't know what is. 🙂

 

[Edmund Blackadder]

I'll have you know I am in London so you don't know how untrue that statement probably is.

11 people have been murdered here so far this year. The rate things are going we'll have beaten last years 'score' of 27 by early August.

So beware anyone from London, chances are they're packing.
