i think we all agree that the friendship should have started in BTVS years, I always thought the reason she acted like she hated him was not just because of the vampire thing so much as being jealous that he chose buffy over her and also xander's influence when they started dating cause once she left sunnydale with out buffy around or xander you could tell she cared about him from the very beginning so maybe she didn't hate angel as much as she let on

IA with that. I think it was a few things that made her act like she hated Angel... he chose Buffy over her after she threw herself at him, he went evil and almost killed them all, and Xander reallllly hated him.

tbh, I don't think it had anything to do with her hating Buffy. I'm not saying she didn't dislike Buffy, but I believe she had her own reasons for not liking him [which were vaild reasons.]

Definitely. And she always seemed to cause it for poor Cordy - like her little rant in The Wish (ok, blaming Buffy for everything probably wasn't fair ), Cordy's fall from popularity seemed to stem from the moment she befriended Buffy Summers

I love Cordy to peices, but I don't think it's really fair to blame everything on Buffy. yes, Buffy did cause trouble for her by being the slayer, but it wasn't just Cordy. it was for everyone around here. and Cordy choose to befriend Buffy and be a part of their group. she always said "why do I hang out with you losers?" that was her choice to make, and she knew they came with drama and would get her into trouble. I don't disagree with what you're saying, it is true. but it was still Cordy's choice that she made.

but yeah, I do think that people and situations in Sunnydale led Cordy to dislike Angel for awhile. and when they got to LA, not only is it great to see an old friend in such a big city, but it was a fresh start, and the situations and people that led her to dislike Angel were out of the picture. so it was like a fresh start for them.

still though, I would have liked to see a little bit of a friendship develop in s3 towards the end. at least a little foreshadowing for the friendship and eventual love that would happen on AtS.
