My S4 AtS Cordelia essay, for [livejournal.com profile] with_character. Spoilers through "You're Welcome".

Oh, the Horror!

The problem with discussing Cordelia in S4, of course, is that it's uncertain whether there even is a Cordelia in S4. So much of her arc is open to interpretation and speculation, with the major question being whether and to what extent Cordelia controls her own body in S4 and, if she does, what we can know about her. Before I get into that speculation, let's begin with a quick refresher course on what the character played by Charisma Carpenter (which character we'll call Cordelia for convenience) is doing through S4.

In lieu of actually ever writing my senior thesis, I went and meta'd. Actually, this is the distilled essence of a bedtime conversation, and since you weren't actually in bed with us, you're missing out on much of the context. Also, the order in which we're watching the episodes (which I'd reccomend to anyone; it's ABC order which is a sufficient randomization device and it helps us view every single episode in light of the entire series, which is very useful for meta and for making connections we hadn't noticed before) is helping frame our conversation.

The topic is broadly, metaphysics in the Jossverse, and narrowly, Seers, particularly Cordelia. It's not my senior thesis. But I love it anyhow. It also took me about three hours to write. Now why can't I focus on schoolwork like that?
