Kennedy is better.  Better than most of the other whiny brats. At least with her, she wasn't just always speaking out of fear. And she was level-headed, even in scary situations. She was the one trying to marshal the girls together after the explosion took Faith out. She acted as their commanding officer, and when the uber-vamps showed up, even in a hopeless situation, she was the one to try and do something. When one of them sneak-attacked one of the other Potentials, it was Kennedy who sprung into action. Brash, bratty, opinionated, yes. Better, also yes. Perhaps that's why people don't like her. I love you.  I wonder how Tara would have trained the Potentials? Cooked them pancakes and played thumbwars? How effective.  |

I like Kennedy fine. She seemed pretty cool the last time I watched season 7, self-confident yes but also very brave and loving. I find it a little disturbing that she gets so much hate amongst fans, as in my view she is the closest embodiment of an empowered woman on the show.

I agree, more in general as they are slightly apposing, to both. My question however is, does that justify biting Wood? This of course doesn't go to the Spike wearing the coat is sick and should feel forever guilty faction of course. Again, I'm more looking to be persuaded here as I'm not entirely sure how I feel. Right now I'm just wondering that even if Spike didn't feel all that guilty (however I think he did in many ways) and even if he can be excused as he was evil (and I often think that in some ways he should be afforded what Angel was afforded when he got his soul back) does that really explain or justify biting Robin though? Even if Spike can be forgiven for acts when he was soulless, he had a soul when he bit Robin, and while Robin did try to kill him, he was no longer a threat at that point, and the grief for his mother didn't exactly allow him the clarity that good and evil Spike are two different animals. I just think that you're getting a little too caught up in the biting thing, and making it out to be more than it is. He didn't drain the guy to the brink of death--he took a tiny little sip to make a point. Wood slapped a band-aid on it and was at work and looking fine the very next day. It's really not all that different than Oz punching Xander in "Bewitched, Bothered, & Bewildered" for making Willow cry, other than the symbolism involved. If Spike had punched him in the nose, instead, would you have as big a problem with it? Well, yes, but the reason he bit him and didn't punch him is because it's different. I don't know if it's that big a deal, again I still love Spike and I don't dislike him because of it I actually think it's alittle out of character because it's a little too much for me. |
