ME ME ME! I hate her. I miss Oz. Think they could get Seth back? (Doubting it, since they've already written the final episodes of the show....) Oh, well. We don't have to put with her for much longer. Unless they give her the spin-off. AW CRAP! NO!

I have a love/hate relationship w/ Kennedy. I like her b/c I do get the Faith vibe from her, but that kind of also makes me dislike her b/c she's nowhere as cool as Faith. She's like pale shadow of Faith.
The Willow/Kennedy thing seems really forced to me, I just don't see Kennedy as being Willow's type. And I think she was too forward, and moved i too fast after Tara's death. (Hey, maybe Kennedy is the rebound girl!) Plus the whole 'we have two lesbians, so they must be a couple thing kind of annoyed me.
When Willow guested on Angel at the end of the ep she and Fred were talking kind of flirtily and Willow blurts out "I'm seeing someone" I thought it was such a shame. Those two together had such great chemistry, I had completely forgotten about Kennedy! Of course a cross-network relationship like that would probably be hard to maintain!

Tara: "I go online sometimes, but everybody's spelling is just so bad. It's depressing."

Kennedy sucks.

I miss Seth as well, as his character mixed perfectly with the quirky Willow character.

Hell, my dog's name is Oz if that means anything to ya :)

I'm not overly keen on her but I think that's because she's just overacting just now and she still has to find her character. There haven't been many BAD characters in Buffy or Angel over the years so I reckon she'll turn out ok.

I never liked Drusilla. It was the whole "Spoik" thing - the accent was just a tad strong for me and I've not heard that many people walking around London talking like that. Then again.... I wasn't there a few hundred years ago!! ;)

Kennedy's great. You diehard W/T shippers are the same pathetic people who still want Buffy/Angel together, and made Riley go away. Granted Kennedy is much better than Riley, why can't you accept people for who they are?

Someone wrote above how all these acts by Xander, Willow, Giles are out of character for sake of the story, in which they are not...

As Giles explains in 'First Date,' the end is coming, it's not time for dating. Oh kissing or hugging. What, Giles knows the end of the world it coming, let's hug buffy and tell her everything will be alright. We're not Dawson's Creek here.
Xander having doubts about Anya and the Wedding proves exactly the character Xander has always been. Proving to be sardonic only to hide how scared he is inside. And Willow with Kennedy? Kennedy forced the relationship on Willow with the trick of a date. Willow wasn't ready to move on from Tara, nor wanted to, but Kennedy helped her get past that, seen in The Killer in Me. Buffy and Willow had this same convo back in Season 4 about riley over angel, with everything being new and exciting.
And after all, Tara died in May, Will& Kennedy started in February, the ache in Wil's heart is taken away a bit, but it will always be there, and she must move on, as she did from Xander to Oz to Tara and now to Kennedy.

If you know anyone that can help my screenwriting career, please help! And yes, I am self-advertising here. Hehehe, me such a little devil.

You know Fury, you have some very valid points. None of your valid points are on topic, but whatever. You can be wacky-off-topic person. But what you can't do is call us pathetic.

I've never been a Buffy/Angel shipper, really. I just think Riley was way too forced. The same is with the Kennedy thing. She's a forced character, and I don't like the way she is handled. I'm DEFINATELY not a Tara/Willow shipper. I never liked them together. But that's not the point. I LOVED Tara. Just didn't want them together. I'm long past Oz coming back. And I'm not against Willow moving on. But the way they're doing it is too forced for my tastes. I don't like it. Period.

These aren't people. I don't have to accept ficticious characters. Ever. I don't have to watch the show. I can turn it off at any point. I just want to see my shows done well. Kennedy, at the moment, is not being done well.

I hope some of this made sense, but I'm fairly certain it didn't cause I'm tired and I'm typing really fast.

My pints were on topic, they were to back my point. Kennedy is not a forced character, her actions put such the force you speak of into effect, as this is easy to see that it is the writers' intention. Kennedy is forcing Wil to be hers over memories of Tara as we saw in The Killer In me, alongside Kennedy's selfishness and take charge attitude.
The writers are forcing the relationship, they've brilliantly created a character who will do this for him. If say, Rona was the SIT(sounds like STD too much) involved with Wil, then it owuld be forced. But because of the way Kennedy is, it makes sense. I feel so strongly about this, because I know a girl like this, and it is a real life situatuion not being forced by writers, or being able to turn off a TV as you said above.

I have never been real Buffy/Angel shipper... and I hate Riley because he is and was a stupid prat. (My Dad agrees... I was wathcing reruns with Riley in them the other day and he walked by, watched for two seconds and asked me "Who is that IDIOT?" Hee.)
I am not saying that Willow should never be allowed to have another relationship... it just seemed to FAST and too forced for my tastes.

I do have to agree with MisterFalcon, these ARE fictional characters, completely different from real life. If Kennedy and Willow were actual PEOPLE, I would probably see the situation entirely differently.

And though I'm still not at all fond of her, I find myself not vehamently hating Kennedy so much anymore. Maybe she'll grow on me eventually... hell, beginning of the 8th season of the X-Files (of which I remained a dedicated fan and viewer till the bitter end) I wanted to take Dogget's head off with a big pointy stick, but now I don't really mind him at all.

Now that I've finally seen the episodes in question, I like her. That's all I have to say about that.

DOBSON: I'm supposed to be meeting my wife's sister. I've only got a few days to see her...

ZOE: I wish there was another way...

DOBSON: Oh, no, no. That woman is like a dragon. I mean, I believe she has a tail. If there's any other moons we need to visit, or if we could just
fly very slowly...
