Should be enough, Im sure someone will tell me if not....
Should it have been called Oedipus? (and no not cos Im confusing my greek
myths :P)

Angelus falls in love with his mother?
Nah, Orpheus is all about resisting temptation. Angel doesn't,
specifically in the scene with the diner, and Faith appears to be
similarly incapable of getting over her past and learning to face the
future.

Our love hit science-fiction levels
Im thinking more about Connor getting his surrogate mother pregnant then
going to kill his father....
Maybe Joss has just been getting into the old mythology...
Kathryn
True enough, but that's an analogy/metaphor/whateveryouwannacallit for a
good while now. Since 'Rain of Fire', more or less, considering Connor's
always had a love-hate relationship with Angel..
Mattia
Can I make a bet on him (connor) going blind at some point?! lol
Kathryn
hehehehe....

Oh, you're taking Cordy at her word as regards the identity of the father?

If you don't then it kind of implies her "doing the nasty" with The Beast.
Which is a worse mental image than her and Connor at it.
Although not by much.

"Remember, I AM NOT LYING!!! This is all official information."
Not really the point since Cordelia isnt actually his mother.
Im just seeing a parallel ;)
Kathryn
Does it? Why?
I think there's a possibility that you're significantly arse-about-face
here :-) Consider: if it turns out that Cordy's being controlled by
whatever it is in her womb (cf. the Beastmaster's remark that he's "where
it's warm and soft"), then clearly this as-yet-unknown Thing had to
significantly have the upper hand - and thus be actually present! - before
the Beast was even summoned, never mind before any notional Cordy-Gravel
Boy jiggies :-)
Consider also: if we try to follow the strange whiff surrounding Cordy
back to its first appearance, then when's the first time this season that
she did anything significantly odd? I submit that it was just appearing
in corporeal form again - no continuity of attitude at all between
cloud-Cordy in "The House Always Wins" and this flesh-Cordy. So it's
entirely plausible that the wrongness of Cordy began with her return to
this plane. If it's her at all, that is.
I'm not especially buying any one particular line; I'm just pointing out
that I don't think one *can* do so, because there are far too many
possibilities that haven't been closed off.
