I didn't think personally that Connor was effeminate, just pre-pubescent and whiny.
As for Jasmine, I think that one of the interesting things about it was that afterwards, there was a big question mark over whether or not they had done the right thing. They clearly thought so, but not everyone agreed...

But mostly I thought he was unfocused and moody. It seemed he wanted so much for those 16 years of believing his father was evil to be true that he would create situations where Angel had to be an ass. Gah.
On the Jasmine front: Kill me if you're going to take away my right to free will. I don't care if I would be happy, I wouldn't be me.
Oh, that's okay. You are entitled to your opinion regarding Jasmine, and if you're dying because you don't want to share in Jasmine's love, and are so intent on being you then, so be it; jedi. Now, don't even think of trying to run!

"That'll learn her" River6213 thinks.

Sure Connor was annoying but wasn't he suppose to be? Was he not designed for that very dynamic within the show? I don't think he was the reason for the shows downward spiral though, it felt more like the writers were struggling with the extended seasonal arc - which though brave, was maybe a little weak to sustain through 25 epsiodes. This on top of the fact that it was now the 3rd season and lets face it ideas were being repeated.

From some very cool dark circuit board I wave back. :D - (I seem to be able to access the site at last! When the silicon chip gods allow.)
How are you TWG? I miss our frequent japes into surreal banter and observations of life on it's side.
I'm glad to see you are still around. I feared I'd lose touch with you and other good folk here. I seem to have some sort of Bermuda Triangle thing going on here with this site. INSTRUMENTS GO CRAZY and I seem unable to find the place....
Anyway I'll be thankfull for this moment if only to see you wave :D

I just started watching Angel about a month ago, and you are soooo right. Connor was a poorly casted, poorly acting character. No redeeming qualities. He was annoying when he was supposed to be wise and insightfull, and annoying when he was naive like with Cordy and that baby thing. I'm watching those reruns on TNT right now and yesterday Cordy give birth to Zoey and it's freaking me out. Glad to hear it get's better though

Connor is actually my favourite character in all of Angel. I thought he was excellently cast, excellently acted and excellently written. He was so real and, yes, deeply flawed, but I found this refreshing. I was still sympathetic to what happened to him and could always see why he did the things he did.
I could go into a much deeper and more intricate explation but it would be so involved I really can't be bothered right now...
