1. Yeah, why wasn't Miss McGee promoted like other BMW alums had been by Disney when 'sneak peaking ' that episode?

2. The vlogger made a good point about how virtually every other BMW alum had been at least had one GMW regular say SOMEthing positive about them during their re-appearance(even onetime BMW advesaries such as Minkus and Harley) but Cory & Topanga (who had had her be a bridesmaid at their wedding) were at best indifferent and at worst outrightly hostile to her re-appearance.

3.I agree that it was infuriating how they attempted to rewrite Shawn and Angela's history. It would have been fine had Topanga said that she hadn't seen Shawn light up and be that happy as he was with Katy since he and Angela had split (or even just say it had been many years since she'd seen Shawn that happy) but instead she ignored how happy Shawn HAD been during his time with Angela. Also, Shawn HAD let her go at the end of BMW so she could spend time with her father but that wasn't supposed to be a permanent split so they should have at least spelled out that when/how Angela dumped him even if it had happened after the BMW timeline instead of pretending that she'd done it DURING the BMW timeline and everyone was supposed to know.

4. Yeah, Angela had been friends (and, as mentioned above, a bridesmaid ) to Cory and Topanga so why wouldn't she or them attempted to at least catch up with each other regardless of how things had gone with Shawn. And for that matter, WHY wouldn't they have known that she had been married for four years prior to the meetup instead of somehow thinking her only reason to visit Shawn was to deliberately throw a monkey wrench in his life (and that she was still single). BIG writing fail there (as was the idea that Angela somehow knew Shawn would be at a random cafe in NYC despite him not living in New York). By no means the only ones as Jack had been their friend and groomsman yet despite this (and him being Shawn's brother) he was clueless to the fact that Cory and Topanga had had Riley until Eric took him to her junior high dance. Of course, the GMW writers seemed to think that everything they wrote for the show they wrote was brilliant, edifying to the tween & teen viewers and a favor& public service to everyone (and I invite everyone to read their Twitter page which ranks up there as one of the most self-worshiping and self-important Twitter pages out there among so many self-promoting ones).

5. OK, even if Shawn and Angela had broken up and he was going to hook up with Katy, I agree that they should have at least acknowledged that when it was good, it HAD been good but everyone acted as though their bond was a lesser light to Cory &Topanga's at best and toxic from Day One at worst (of course ignoring the bigger room elephant that Cory& Topanga had themselves become quite dysfunctional in their union in GMW) .

6. While I actually think Angela and Shawn having each had mother issues might actually have caused Angela to wonder if she'd repeat history were she to have a child by her new husband, it DOES strain credulity that she'd have shown up to talk to Shawn JUST to talk to him about it.

Yeah, they did fail in so many ways re that reunion as the vlogger pointed out .
