I agree that it was annoying how she was almost never wrong, except about the "vanquishing Death" thing (and even there her hubris was portrayed as sympathetic instead the sheer blind arrogance it actually was).

I didn't much care for Cole as a character (although it's probably how he was - and how Phoebe related to him - later on in the series that pissed me off, in the beginning he was pretty cool), but yeah, since the show was so black and white in regards to good and evil, he never stood a chance. I think that was the worst part of the series, that absolutism. But ultimately I feel like they were just trying to milk available drama for all it was worth and let it go on too long. Cole should have either died or been fully redeemed several seasons before they actually let the poor bastard rest.

I understand that McMahon wanted to leave, but I think it would have been a better choice to have him die for Phoebe and prove his love. I mean, ater the possession by the Source, I can understand why Phoebe couldn't be comfortable around him. That actually could have made for an interesting story: she knows it wasn't his fault, but that doesn't change the fact that he looks like the man who did all those things to her.

Basically, they could have done a much better job of writing him out.

That would have been better, definitely. In the end, despite what kind of monster he was forced to be, his love was true. They were generally driving towards that characterization throughout the Source storyline, but lost it like a randomly popped balloon by the time they killed him off.
