You Can Always Count On Me

"'Til I showed up, he never hired a girl 'cause she could type."

It starts out slow and bittersweet, and then turns out to be cute and funny, a vid set in Cordy's days of working for Angel Investigations. There's some wonderful bits of visual irony, as well as a nice look at how Cordy truly did show herself to be responsible and grown-up on Angel. Well, more than she'd been before.

It starts out with an Angel/Cordelia flavour to it and then there's a very amusing glance at Angel and Cordy's relationships. In the end, it feels like a sincere and charming celebration of what makes Cordelia who she is and why she has such a strong connection to the men of AI.

This vid is, as far as I know, only available by purchasing the Apocalypse West 2002 DVD ($5). You can order it at Apocalypse West Vidding.


Unsubstantiated Stargate theory of the moment:
Shifu and the monk in Maternal Instinct are one and the same. Mostly because the idea absolutely tickles me pink and because after a careful re-watching of the episode, it isn't directly contradicted.
