yeah, I don't think Cangel could never have been a thing and it could have even have been a worthwhile thing (doomed to failure, of course but that's by the bye) but what we get is just not worth having. It's nothing. Literally nothing. An inconsistent waste of run time only utilised when there is run time to fill and then forgotten about when the story gets more exciting.
Not that I think relationships have to be front and centre, I'm all for them being on the background - just two people in love while the world happens to them. But cangel wasn't in the background. It was either all they were talking about or it wasn't there full stop.
