Ok so i've seen alot of people venting their hatred towards Kennedy...and as a bit of a contradiction to the title i actually quite like her...I mean ok not as much as i liked Tara but i thought she was important for Willow...

OK so can you please write whether you like or dislike Kennedy here because i really want to see what other people think and find who else ~(if anyone) Likes Kennedy, the Buffy Brat...

I can't stand her. She's irritating as all hell; bratty, spoiled, and hard-headed.
I never cared for her with Willow. I think that the whole relationship was rather rushed. As a character, I never cared for her one way or another, she was just some more of the cannon fodder. It would have been good to see a flashback in Season 8 where she gets too full of herself and either Buffy or (preferably) Faith, kicked the crap out of her. That would explain why she seems so much more mature in Season 8
 
The more I think about it, I don't really think I hate Kennedy as a character. She was meant to be a brat. I kinda see her as Buffy with more purpose smooshed into her, Faith with better circumstances, Kendra with more awareness of the outside world. I think I mentioned somewhere that if circumstances had been different (the slayer line staying put, and if Faith had died somehow), that I think Kennedy would have been next in line and I think sole slayerdom would have suited her.

Killow? Not so much, but then I'm still holding on to hope that Oz will come back and sweep Willow off her feet in a sappily romantic fashion (and I still stand by the fact I think they were the cutest couple ever). Killow was kinda forced upon us and I wasn't a fan of that. At first it seemed as though Kennedy just wants some girly fun, then gets scared, then is in love with Willow? It was too much change too soon.
 
I love Kennedy like I said on many other thread. Ok, sometimes she's a brat, but at least she admits it and it's part of her character. I don't mind Killow. At first maybe a little bit because I'm a Tillow shipper and a fan of Tara so it was hard to see Willow with another girl but I guess life goes on even though we don't want it to go on. Plus, Willow never foret Tara and Kennedy never asked her to so Tara was still there in Willow's memory. And in s8, Killow is actually one of my favorite ship, they grew up and yes, Kennedy is still a brat and a lot jealous but we don't know her whole story yet so were gonna have to wait to see if why she is like that. ANyway, I would still like her.

I like her, I could see her and Willow together for a bit in season 7 for a bit of a fling really but not really long term. I agree with White Avenger is was a bit rushed to be a believable meaningfull relaltionship and we havent seen much of them in Season 8 to understand the relationship much more.
 
I don't hate her...I just want her dead.
She bugs be so much! I mean, Willow deserves so much better than that rich brat who just acts like she can get what she wants.
 
Kennedy with Willow, I hate, Kennedy alone I don't actually hate all the time. Sometimes she has some pretty decent lines, and she's a decent character and unlike some of the other potentials, she actually knows what she's doing. There are times when I hate her, times when I don't.
 
she is one of the few characters i could not really make my mind up on purely because she had both good and bad moments althogh that was her on her own as a character i did think she was quite important to some of the major story arcs so overall i would say i like her more than i dislike her no wait i dislike her more than i like her oh i dont know...............
 
I like Kennedy. But the whole relationship thing with Willow, just leaves her open for mass hatred. First, Willow tries to destroy the world over the loss of Tara. Then a few months later, it's "Well, hello there Kennedy". Rushed. Then the lack of chemistry between Kennedy and Willow, is laughable. Oh and for some reason her delivery of the line "Somebody needs a reality check" makes me want to throw things at her head. But i do like her, i think.
 
I've already said it a couple of times but I'll say it again, just for the heck of it: I don't mind her, in fact, out of all the potentials she was one of the ones that just occasionally got on my nerves. Her and Willow was a bit rushed, a bit akward and a whole lot of random, but I can imagine that if Willow wanted (or at least didn't not want) to get into a relationship with someone, it would be with someone who wasn't like Tara at all, I mean, that would just be too painful for her and everyone.
 
I LOATHED Kennedy. As a character, she was annoying, a brat, self-interested, and annoying. How they could replace Tara with such a heartless and b*tchy girl is beyond my belief.
 
i didnt care she was with willow but Kennedy was abit anoying. i probebly dislike her as i think was silly that there was soo many potentials! Gave me a headache lol.
her and willow were rushed thou..
 
Kennedy isn´t my favourite character by far but I don´t hate her as many do. She has her flaws but the main thing is of course that she isn´t Tara. Not many are though. And rushed? It might seems so but in reality I don´t think it was that bad. And if it is most people around me are rushing way more. Not that all of them have had a love like Tillow but still. Moving on is a part of life. Willow can´t get Tara back and since Kennedy makes her happy I don´t oppose that much.
 
As I said in another thread already, I actually do like Kennedy on rewatching, I just can't stand her with Willow (different reason, but same effect as with Oz - whom I LOVED as a character, even if Ozlow got me mad *g*).

On 1st viewing though, I absolutely despised her. *gg*

Well. That was then. After seeing how few in here has anything good to say about Kennedy, I've reflected a bit more. (Even though a lot of you would probably define any time spent in reflection over Kennedy what so ever as wasted.) To me, she is my childhood heroine grown up. I used to dream up period mansions from days gone by, and fancy myself a smart-ass heroine who refused to fit into the stereotypes. Today I can see that the smart-ass heroine is in herself a stereotype, but nonetheless I am fond of Kennedy for reminding me of my childhood dreams.

With Willow, I think she'd be more believable as a rebound lover than as a long-time partner. Then rushed wouldn't be a problem.
 
I think I would have preferred Killow if it was just a quick dirty rebound thing. But it's not. It's almost like Willow is not allowed to not have a loving relationship. I'm a little annoyed by that upon reflection.
