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 I hate 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...

ah, you know, I didn't realize that's why Stephanie Romanov left. What a shame, because she was a damn fine actress.

But right, that's not Eve's (or Sarah Thompson's) fault. I don't think she was that bad an actress, actually -- I think they weren't quite sure where they wanted to take the character, and went back and forth with her traits just to have her serve an organizational-narrative function, making her contradictory when it suited their purposes.

For Eve and Thompson, I really liked the period after Lindsey disappeared, and she went into hiding. There was some nice work there.

And the character -- so much more could have been done there, writing wise. I'm very curious about her.

Is that the reason Stephanie Romanov left? If so, forcing her to leave seems really petty and childish. Not to mention that having her around during Season Five would have been very interesting.

Well, according to rumors "petty" and "childish" are Joss' middle names.
