... or that chick that played annoying Kennedy, or that annoying chick that played annoying Kennedy. Whichever idea you subscribe to.

Anyway, I found it fairly funny that she's now taking non-speaking parts in fast food commercials. If you ever see one of the annoying Taco Bell "It's Good to Go" commercials, check out the annoying chick in the pink shirt. It's that annoying chick that played Kennedy.

Considering how much I loathe that character, I find this pretty humorous.

actually the actress, Iyari Limon (who played Kennedy), has been to a lot of BtVS conventions and is very nice and friendly to the fans.
I was at her table for a bid banquet in Oakland last year and she was very interested in everyone and everything.
I'm just saying I think you would like her in person.

I know, you don't want to like her...you want to think she is an annoying brat like she played on Buffy's season 7...

Personally, I didn't find the actress or the character annoying. The character was a bit of a spoiled brat, yes, but that was the character, and she was still - in my opinion - an interesting character.

But hey, you're welcome to your opinion...

I'm with ya, StevethePirate... I found her very annoying too. And being a Buffy fan - it was a lot easier to accept Willow going from Oz to Tara then from Tara to Kennedy. Blegh.

I'm sure she is a nice person in reality, but that character was one of the more annoying potentials. (An annoying group as a whole anyway).

Karma baby, it's all about karma. She punished us with Kennedy, now the Universe is punishing her with non-speaking roles... in commercials!

Sometimes I really like this Universe

I'm sure she's a lovely person and good luck to her for the future. But I don't have a nice word to say about Kennedy. That whole plot was so contrived - ooh, better give Willow a new girlfriend.

We saw Willow fall in love with Tara - with Kennedy it was just, "here's the replacement lesbian." My take on the Tara/Willow relationship was that Willow fell in love with a "person", their sex was irrelevant. All Kennedy did was flirt until Willow gave in! OK, so there did seem to genuine passion between then in "The Killer In Me" but overall, well I have nothing positive to say...

(Couldn't Amanda have survived instead of Kennedy?!)

I was a huge fan of X-Files... I thought the chemistry between the Scully and Mulder characters made for some very interesting stories. And I really liked their characters! Then I made the mistake of reading articles about the actors themselves. No problemo with Gillian Anderson. But David Duchovny came across as a class A jerk. I know that actors are at the mercy of how their interviewers wish to present them. But after the third article by yet another unrelated interviewer made him sound like a jerk, you have to start wondering if they are all seeing the same side of him because that's just his primary side.

At any rate, once I made the connection between his apparent real-life jerkiness and his character in X-files, it nearly ruined the show for me. Lesson learned, if I like the character, I should avoid knowing about the actor. Too much risk that such knowledge might poison the well. This personal rule has served me well in the intervening years.

Your post suggests an interesting corollary to that rule. If I don't like the character, perhaps I should learn something about the actor... the only direction left is up! I suppose that's why they call it "acting." Ya think?

I too intensely disliked the Kennedy character. After your post, I am open to seeing the actress in another role.

First, I have no issue with the actress Iyari Limon. I'm sure she is a wonderful person. Now that that's said:

I HATE KENNEDY

She ruined Willow's character development and was one of 3 factors that tossed Season 7 buffy in the toilet. I love BtVS, I hate the final season. Kennedy is the biggest reason why.

Do not fear me. Ours is a peaceful race, and we must live in harmony.

I thought you all were talking about the MTV veejay. She was pretty annoying.

Kennedy was annoying as hell...but the actress probably had very little to do with the way she was written.
