I don't know if you need a triangle in order for shippers to start stomping their feet and making demands. Just a run on will-they-won't-they like Luke and Lorelei seems to do the job pretty well also.
I agree that there's a shipper war subtext to the Angel fandom and I've read all the stupid quotes about the supposed triangle there. But it seems different to me, because I've never seen a triangle that only had two sides to it. Buffy isn't on the show, hasn't been part of the stories. So it seems the stories have a freedom to be fresh and original. Yes the B/A shippers are still shadow boxing with their invisible foes, but if anything they're only proving how nonsensical shipping becomes when carried to its limit. They have a GREAT show to watch and all they can see is the ending they won't be able to have.
