I never saw anything redeeming in Kennedy. She was loud, demanding, presumptious, arrogant.

Is she worse later in the season? Because she's been just sorta *there* for me, so far. Oh, apart from her "Willow, aka girl who I barely know--you should really use your powers, those things about which I know nothing, and screw the consequences, which just to be clear, are also things I don't comprehend at all!" bit in Get it Done. Yeah, that bit was annoying, but it's the only example of truly obnoxious behaviour I can think of off the top of my head.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Somehow Kennedy is suddenly on the executive committee.

I think that is what drove annoyance to disgust.

It's a remora, dimwit.

That, and, well, it's Buffy. We expect a lot from recurring characters. It's like there's some slogan about how Sunnydale is the place where the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and the lesbians are all above average.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

I saw Kennedy as being used to represent the ordinary potentials-- the one whose name you can remember.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I found Rona more representative, because she seemed to have a point.

See, I thought that was Stupid Fucking Hat Girl - which is actually her legal name, though she had to be baptized Stupid Frickin' Hat Girl since her family's Mormon.

Sneerrrk. May I tag, pretty please?

I'd be thrilled.

Ooo, shiny! Thanks, Madrigal.

Thanks for the friendly welcomes. And yeah, no Kiwi jokes from you Aussies -- for a start, our ones about you are MUCH WORSE. We hate you. Just like Canadians hate Americans.

Sounds likes a lot of you have already seen to the end. Are a lot of you Americans slumming in Antipodean waters? I am going to need lots of advice on how to cope after the finale. Huge gap in life, etc etc, nothing to obsess about.

No, sarameg, didn't see comet. Mind you I don't remember what I was doing two years ago. Not even two weeks ago. But this sure is a purrty country.

As for Kennedy -- I don't like her because she has no RESPECT. Pay your dues and then you get to mouth off. Before that, watch and learn.

I think some of you have a point about having your views shifted and tainted by the NAFDA discussions -- they don't pull their punches, they get the bit between their teeth (how many more metaphors can I mix in?) and one's own tiny thoughts can get mown down by those charging mustangs.
