Drive-by post: Outing myself
Yes, indeed. I just outed myself over on TwOP as someone who actually likes Kennedy.
Truthfully, by the end of S7, I liked her more than Willow.
Granted, introducing Kennedy in S7 sucked because she, like Andrew, stole time away from the characters I really cared about (Buffy, Giles, Xander, and Willow).
Despite that, I still like the character. Unlike Andrew. Whom Ihate with the passion of a thousand fire-y nuns seriously dislike, mostly because ME kept shoving him down my throat and playing DEMAND LOVE when it came to Andrew.
First I'm a Xander fan. Now I'm a self-proclaimed Kennedy-liker.
Is it any wonder my corner of Buffy fandom is cold and lonely?
I fully expect to be ripped apart by Kittens over on TwOP.
Maybe I can distract them with catnip...

I never had particularly strong feelings either way re: Kennedy.
My terrible confession; I liked Andrew. I mean I get the taking away time from Willow & Xander etc. (though I blame the whole Spike arc for that more), but that's not Andrew's fault. I think he fulfills the role of a Fool rather well; not the typical wise Fool, or only sometimes accidentally so, but still providing... if you like that outsider's perspective on the Scoobies. Doesn't mean I wouldn't have rather had more Xander and Willow time, but hey.
Though I get what you mean about ME trying too hard to make us like/forgive him. I think your Andrew (as in Padwan etc.) works better in that way, in that he still plays the Fool role, but is also clearly an utter twat.
