I dig kennedy...she's assertive and brave even without the slayer powers which says alot...also, I dont think she forced willow to say on their first date..you dont force someone by saying "youre sexy when you pout."

I also have to say that after seeing "touched"..I love kennedy..she rocks

I also liked her in the final ep...I like the fact that she touches on the fact that she's a brat used to getting her way and what she says to willow is really sweet.

plus, I hate to say this because I was once and still am a willow/tara shipper...but kennedy is way, way, way, waaayyy hotter than tara. Hate to say it, but its true.

I'm with Calliope.

Kennedy is hot... and I think that love scene between she and willow (the one with the tongue stud) is most likely the only time I have ever been aroused watching cable tv.

Both Tara and Kennedy are hotties in their own individual ways. There's no denying the immediate chemistry between Willow and Tara. Nor can one downplay the importance of developing that relationship gradually over 2.5 seasons.

My complaint with Willow/Kennedy is it felt kinda forced or perhaps too condensed. The writers had to sell this new relationship in just over half a season. The chemistry between Willow and Kennedy wasn't apparent (for me) until the finale episode.

Another aspect of W/K that was never even touched upon is the rebound nature of the relationship (for Willow, at least). Rebound relationships rarely work out and are usually just a temporary crutch for the rebounder.

Other than that I have no problem with the Kennedy character nor the Limon's performance of her. I think she did a great job portraying a spoiled, bratty yet ascertive young woman who knows what she wants and goes for it. I got the impression from her that Kennedy is cut from the same cloth as Faith just with a better upbringing.

Just wish the writers had more time to develop convincing sparkage for her and Willow. Perhaps if/when a Buffy spin-off with Willow happens the two of them will get just that.

The tongue stud was a nice touch....and @#$% yeah she's hot. But aside from that, I think the thing with Willow/Kennedy is that they had little time to develop it fully, which was actually the same issue I had with willow and tara in the early stages of there relationship. Tara didnt start to become more than "willow's girlfriend" until season six really when she started to assert herself.

I think that if the series werent over, next season we would see Willow and Kennedy evolve much better. But since that's a moot point now that the show's over, i'm content with episodes like "touched" (drools), "the killer in me" and that touching little scene they had in the last ep. When you think about it, willow didnt fare too badly, Kennedy's hot, assertive, a slayer and loaded if her references to houses with wings, summer homes and boarding schools are any indication. I can see her becoming like a slayer lara croft.

Y'know, I didn't think of this before, but now that you mention it, I can totally see Kennedy as this Slayer Lara Croft type...but w/ a hot witch girlfriend.

Hey i just noticed this thread and had to respond. I dig the character of Kennedy-spoiled rich bitch-but loathe willow and kennedy together. Willow always had the most amazing relationships Oz was wonderous-so gentle and kind he really awoken something in her, and Tara angelic-patient and wiser than willow so she was almost like a mentoras well as a super compatible lover. So that she would go with this loud mouth cocky wench was beyond me i am hoping that if the spin off ever happens it starts off with Willow doing a long walk of shame. that would satisfy me more than a girlfriend with a tongue ring

I agree that Willow with anyone but Tara is... somehow wrong. Although I find Kennedy's personality to be refreshing as she is strong and confident I cannot see any depth to it. But with all the new characters appearing it seems like the writers just didn't have enough time to explore her. She was appropriate at the time as Willow needed someone to lean on but I felt it was too soon after Tara. I had little time to grieve.
