Of course, some find this wildly out of character due to things you haven't seen yet in Angel S4, but that's a story for another day.
Well...just on the basis of what I've seen, I do find the Bangel scene in Chosen to be wildly OOC for Angel. After all, over four years ago, Angel decided that he and Buffy couldn't be together and left her. Then, suddenly, he comes back to Sunnydale bugging her about getting together again? Huh what? What happened to the whole "I'm a vamp. You're a human. It wouldn't work." angst? Did he just get over that?
Plus, he's so damn pushy in that scene. It almost gives the impression that it was her decision to break up all those years ago...when it wasn't. He made the choice.
So, yeah, I see that scene as pretty much pure fan-service (Especially the kiss which was just completely random). It makes no sense to me.
That being said, without knowing more about S4, at this point I do still think that Buffy holds a big part of Angel's heart. She's his angst-bunny, after all. And she was the one who put him on the path of redemption, so I think she'll always be "the one" to him, even though he doesn't think they should actually be together.
Not sure if the thing with Cordy is gonna change my opinion on that much. Will have to wait and see.
