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.

It's a remora, dimwit.

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.

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.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
I've given up reading the NAFDA discusions thoroughly, to be honest - If you're not reading in real time, the turf wars get a bit boring. FWIW, I really like Kennedy. as a fucktoy for Willow. I can see the logic of her character. Plus, most of the people whose opinions I really value post in UnAms anyway.

Yes, Kassto, there are lots of Americans here, being mean about my new favourite character. Fine, hate her, all of you, I don't care! I'm used to liking unpopular characters. But they could put on a show called Kennedy the Lesbian Potential Vampire Slayer and I would totally watch it.
No respect, exactly, that's why she's great!
t x-post with Jim, with whom I am as one re the NAFDA threads I'm afraid.
