10. Cordelia and Angel aren't siblings. Cordelia and Wesley aren't siblings. Willow and Xander aren't siblings, and the word incest does not. Apply.
Word. I've been having this same argument with other folks in other fandoms lately. I'm not a huge Dan/Sam fan in SGland and actually find the pairing somewhat squicky for the most part for many reasons... However, calling it 'incest' is soooo not a valid arguement. Unless TPTB pull an 'All My Children' and make Hammond their father, it's NOT incest.
Also, while I'm on a minor rant in your lj, just because there's a 20 year age gap, it does not automatically make the relationship 'paternal' in nature.
Sorry for the mini-rant. I stopped watching Angel with any sort of consistency after Doyle died. I have eventually caught all the eps though and agree with quite a few of your opinions.
