Ooh, very interesting questions.

-Why didn’t we get to see a shirtless Angel holding baby Connor? Was that too much to ask?
You've got the links to DB's new movie, so . . .
-Does anyone at all love Kennedy?
I've never seen anyone anywhere who does.
-Why did they maul Charisma Carpenter’s hair, and did anyone like it short and blonde better than long gorgeous luxurious droolable enviable need-I-go-on brunette?
I heard that they cut it to make her look more mature, but I have a theory that she asked her stylist to make her hair as horrible as possible, because I don't know why else they would butcher it that way.
-Do most fics consider the movie canon? Does Whedon consider it canon for the show?
Varies. I know I've seen the cramps-as-vamp-detector thing from the movie around, which wasn't used at all in the show. Personally I don't like it, but it won't make me stop reading a fic.
-Does anyone besides me feel guilty for not liking Doyle all that much?
I like Doyle, but I wouldn't feel guilty for not liking a character.
-Can Angel (the character, not David Boreanaz) dance?
I think I've only seen him slow dance twice, and one of those was in a dream, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for that. Otherwise? No, not at all.
-Does James Marsters-as-William look like a young Captain-Picard-with-hair (or, more accurately: Patrick Stewart in I, Claudius) to anyone besides me?
I don't see it, but hey :)
-Are there any Wesley/Virginia fics out there?
I'm sure there are somewhere, but I've never seen them.
-Is it wrong to think Holtz is dead sexy (especially his voice)? Am I alone in this feeling?
Not my type, but I can see how other people would like him.
-How come male actors don’t have chest hair any more? Do people really think it’s unsexy? Why? And the point: so does David Boreanaz wax his chest or what?
I'm pretty sure Xander has chest hair in any of his shirtless scenes.
Names/endearments/appellations

-What names/endearments can you actually see Angel using? (Would he call Buffy “sweetheart”? Would he call Cordy “my love”? Would he call Spike “lad”? Would he call Wesley “sex kitten”? et al)
When he was soulless he called Buffy "lover" and once "my love", but honestly I don't see him as the type to use endearments. For B/A, at any rate, they always said each other's names in a way that would make endearments superflous (okay, that sounds like something out of a really bad romance novel).
-What about Buffy? (I know she calls Angel “honey” in an episode. Would she ever call him “hon”? Would she ever call Faith “precious”? Would she ever call Spike “daddy”?)
No idea.
-Did Angelus ever once refer to his souled self as “soul boy”? (I know others did.)
I don't think so, but I haven't seen all of the S4 Angelus arc.
-What’re your views on using the term “childe” in a fic?
There's no canon term for that word, so I think it's okay to use in description, but I don't like seeing it in dialogue.
-Am I the only one who’s uncomfortable calling actors by their first names when talking about them?
No. I like initials. Although I have no problem calling Joss by his first name.
-What kinda name is Boreanaz?
No idea. Italian sounds plausible.

I'm new to lj, and I don't read smut, so I'll let everyone else answer those questions :)
