She's consistently ... storylines, and her dynamic with the Scoobies just doesn't work. ATS and BTVS are both trying to tell similar stories ...

For me, Cordy was at her best in BtVS 2, when she was striving to be more than the bitch of most of BtVS 1, but with enough lapses to show that she wasn't about to achieve enlightenment anytime soon. She has been in slow decline ever since then. But yeah, it is ...

I'm not so sure that the spiritual martyr route played to Cordelia's strengths as a character, and further opined that it helped expose Carpenter's limitations as an actor (which had been clear to me since BTVS S1, when everyone except me adored the character). Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not her acting range they adored. But I agree with your greater point. I like her performance ...

Darla has gotten a lot more screen time since Angel killed her on BTVS than she did before it.) So much back-story.
