Really? People don't like her? Huh, I think she's great!

Angus, go check out the NAFDA Buffy thread now that you've reached the end. I was never one of the haters (I was neutral on her, like Fioana), but there was an overwhelming negative response to Kennedy. It was not a Tara thing, either - she just grated on a lot of the Buffistas to a Riley degree (not kidding).
Fiona - I was dry eyed watching. But now, when I think back, especially about Anya, I get "allergies".

The only thing that grates on me is her name. Is it supposed to be her first name?

They never made that clear. She was supposed to come from money, so I suspect it was supposed to be a last name. I never had a problem with her. She acted bratty at times, but she copped to it too. I figure self-awareness makes up for a lot of things in my book.
ETA I really need to look at my posts for stupid typos before I post them grumble

I like Kennedy too. Or I did for that one episode, the name of which I've forgotten, and I haven't really had an opinion on the girl since then. So I suppose it's more of a more-positive-than-not ambivalence. (Willow should still get with Fred, though, and I'm more than willing to sacrifice Kennedy, literally if need be, to see that happen. IJS. t /pathological 'shipper .) I don't get the Mary-Sue issue, which has been the main non-Buffista criticism that I've read. If Kennedy's a Mary-Sue then the definition of the term has long since been warped beyond my original understanding.
Edited because as much as I like some words, they should not be in a sentence more than once.

Well, Leigh, you are suffering from what we Buffistas call "Frillow" syndrome. Not unknown around these parts after a certain episode of Angel. Actually may have been one source of the anti-Kennedy vibe.
ETA and by we Buffistas, I mean me. I probably didn't invent the term "Frillow", nor was I the first person to call it a syndrome, but... Hmmm - seem to have derailed that train of thought.

Honestly, if you don't like Kennedy, who do you like? She's fantastic! Mary-Sue Schmary-Sue.

Hmmm... I don't mind Kennedy. Mind you, I'm not very invested in Willow, not even that interested in her, so there's a big dose of couldn't-care-less there.

Aussies are still mid-season. Nearing the end, but not there yet.
