Re Kennedy: she was being primed as the new bitchy/mouth-not-attached-to-the-brain character. Anya took over from Cordy and because Emma had said she wasn't coming back after season 7, they went looking for someone to take over the role. Alas they didn't count on Sarah not re-signing for another season. At least, that's my take on the character and why she's getting precedence over established regulars.
Leigh ... I share your Farscape pain and your concern about how Nein will treat Firefly. They have an appalling record when it comes to genre shows. I'll give them their due, though, they are consistent, as is evidenced by the crap they're pulling with the Trek shows currently being screened.
I never felt Kennedy was bitchy, though. Just dumb, something that Anya and Cordelia were only with a point.
My big problem was that she was presumptious.
Right. Yes. Bratty.
Cordelia and Anya spoke truths. Of the potentials, I think Rona speaks more truth than Kennedy. To Rona I'd say "God, do you have to say it like that?". And to Kennedy? "SHUT UP."

ITA, ita.

Sigh. Somebody roll the hearse up to the door. Who's got the mop?
(Man. Next he's going to ask Jilli "Who died?")
My big problem was that she was presumptious.
Oh yeah, totally unlike, say, BUFFY! Who was never the SLIGHTEST bit presumptuous or bratty.

Since you
are
agreeing with me, I'm in a difficult position.
Who was never the SLIGHTEST bit presumptuous or bratty.
Tell me Kennedy's upside again? I don't know if you're catching up in NAFDA Buffy, but I've been incredibly vocal about Buffy's S7 attitude, and how I didn't like it -- she, however, is the title character, who's done stuff, and holds my attention for that very reason. Kennedy? Has done nothing. I have no reason to pay attention to her, unless she's funny, right, heroic,
something.

Duuuude-- she's the
chosen one.

Except Willow.
No, I meant more that Season 1/2 Buffy was presumptuous and bratty, and we all liked it then, didn't we? Point taken, though, she was saving the world and stuff too. It just seems strange that people are wanting characters to be all respectful and know their place. Because wouldn't that just be really boring?
I don't really know why I like her though, I guess I just think she has a certain charisma and sexiness. And I like the fact that they have a dyke who's not all mystical.
