I did have issues with Cordy being not a bit traumatized by the entire Jasmine experience, or guilt-ridden in regards of Connor, but then I suppose this can be justified by the final twist; a ghost, given one last day by TPTB, would be beyond what would have been enough to drive a living person insane.
Considering they only had an hour (42 minutes technically) to bring closure to Cordy's story, I was pretty forgiving in what they didn't or weren't able to address. And putting aside any behind the scenes drama that may have led to CC's departure, you make a good point that helps to substantiate Joss and others claims that Cordy was written into a corner. Had she awakened from the coma and returned to the fold, how could she have dealt with all she had been through? I suppose there would have been some way, but don't we have enough characters burdened by immense guilt and self-loating?
I also agree that the conclusion of the Lindsey storyline is a let down *if* it's the end which I don't believe it is. Considering Lindsey left W&H of his own accord I find it very hard to believe that he came back to get revenge for them giving Angel what was supposedly his. It makes no sense. As does Angel being the center of his Universe. The whole thing seemed over the top.
My theory is that everything he said and did was to throw them off from his real intent. And that, in fact, he wanted to be taken to the Senior Partners. What his grand plan is, I do not know, but I think it will yet be revealed later in the season. I really can't imagine CK agreeing to come back just for what we've seen so far.
As for the mindwipe, if Wes isn't already working on unraveling it, I think he soon will be. Maybe it's just me, but I sense that he senses something is not right.
