Willow was one of the best written and developed characters I've seen on a show. I remember re-watching Season 2 after the series ended and they planted narrative seeds about Willow going evil from the second series. I think characters needed to have their own powers or skills to make it believable that the normal characters would keep on surviving. The powers and skills were all introduced quite well.
And yes, Cordy = immense. I didn't like what become of her in the last series of Angel.
Talking about kick ass females, FAITH!!!! It's such a shame her spin off series was never realised, Damn Eliza for picking Tru Calling!
