... or that chick that played annoying Kennedy, or that annoying chick that played annoying Kennedy. Whichever idea you subscribe to.

Anyway, I found it fairly funny that she's now taking non-speaking parts in fast food commercials. If you ever see one of the annoying Taco Bell "It's Good to Go" commercials, check out the annoying chick in the pink shirt. It's that annoying chick that played Kennedy.

Considering how much I loathe that character, I find this pretty humorous.

EMBERS

actually the actress, Iyari Limon (who played Kennedy), has been to a lot of BtVS conventions and is very nice and friendly to the fans.
I was at her table for a bid banquet in Oakland last year and she was very interested in everyone and everything.
I'm just saying I think you would like her in person.

I know, you don't want to like her...you want to think she is an annoying brat like she played on Buffy's season 7...

Personally, I didn't find the actress or the character annoying. The character was a bit of a spoiled brat, yes, but that was the character, and she was still - in my opinion - an interesting character.

But hey, you're welcome to your opinion...

I'm with ya, StevethePirate... I found her very annoying too. And being a Buffy fan - it was a lot easier to accept Willow going from Oz to Tara then from Tara to Kennedy. Blegh.

I'm sure she is a nice person in reality, but that character was one of the more annoying potentials. (An annoying group as a whole anyway).

Karma baby, it's all about karma. She punished us with Kennedy, now the Universe is punishing her with non-speaking roles... in commercials!

I'm sure she's a lovely person and good luck to her for the future. But I don't have a nice word to say about Kennedy. That whole plot was so contrived - ooh, better give Willow a new girlfriend.

We saw Willow fall in love with Tara - with Kennedy it was just, "here's the replacement lesbian." My take on the Tara/Willow relationship was that Willow fell in love with a "person", their sex was irrelevant. All Kennedy did was flirt until Willow gave in! OK, so there did seem to genuine passion between then in "The Killer In Me" but overall, well I have nothing positive to say...

(Couldn't Amanda have survived instead of Kennedy?!)

I was a huge fan of X-Files... I thought the chemistry between the Scully and Mulder characters made for some very interesting stories. And I really liked their characters! Then I made the mistake of reading articles about the actors themselves. No problemo with Gillian Anderson. But David Duchovny came across as a class A jerk. I know that actors are at the mercy of how their interviewers wish to present them. But after the third article by yet another unrelated interviewer made him sound like a jerk, you have to start wondering if they are all seeing the same side of him because that's just his primary side.

At any rate, once I made the connection between his apparent real-life jerkiness and his character in X-files, it nearly ruined the show for me. Lesson learned, if I like the character, I should avoid knowing about the actor. Too much risk that such knowledge might poison the well. This personal rule has served me well in the intervening years.

Your post suggests an interesting corollary to that rule. If I don't like the character, perhaps I should learn something about the actor... the only direction left is up! I suppose that's why they call it "acting." Ya think?

I too intensely disliked the Kennedy character. After your post, I am open to seeing the actress in another role.

First, I have no issue with the actress Iyari Limon. I'm sure she is a wonderful person. Now that that's said:

I HATE KENNEDY

She ruined Willow's character development and was one of 3 factors that tossed Season 7 buffy in the toilet. I love BtVS, I hate the final season. Kennedy is the biggest reason why.

Do not fear me. Ours is a peaceful race, and we must live in harmony.

I thought you all were talking about the MTV veejay. She was pretty annoying.

Kennedy was annoying as hell...but the actress probably had very little to do with the way she was written.

I didn't care too much for Kennedy either, until the last episode, which leads me to wonder if Kennedy would have worked had Joss written her a few more times.

That said, friends of mine who've met and spoken with Inari Limon said she's wonderful in person. Give her a break. I wouldn't smack Richard Brooks because Jubal Early was mean to Kaylee. Give poor Inari Limon a break.

1. Kennedy was not the most likable character in the Buffyverse, granted, but neither was she the most annoying.

2. I met Iyari Limon earlier this year and you couldn't ask for a nicer person (well, 'cepting Alyson Hannigan and Emma Caulfield, they're so sweet, too). She was wonderful and open and honest.

Ditto, awful character, utterly unbelievable and pointless. Aaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh!

I am sure the actress is lovely though and I bear her no ill-will.

Wow. Tell me what you REALLY think of her, why don't you.

May have been on the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I'm not sure whether this has mentioned on here before, but before getting the role of Kennedy, Iyari Limon actually auditioned twice for the role of Kaylee. This is what she said in an interview for the official Buffy magazine:

"I had read for Kaylee quite a few times and that didn't happen. Then I read for a guest star [part] and that didn't happen. My agents and I got on a conference call with casting and they said, 'Joss loves her and is going to hire her for something, whether it be Angel, Firefly or Buffy.'"

I've been watching season 7 again, and I think Kennedy gets more blame than she deserves. In fact, I'd say Rona was the most annoying of the bunch.

ZEEK

Yeah I was not a Kennedy fan either.

The sad thing is the one I liked gets killed immediately. However, the third one was that Giles brought with him from England. She gets the axe and she was the most polite and hot one of all of them. Grrrrrrr

If only she was around during Xanders dream sequence.

Amen to that! She was always questioning, second-guessing, defying Buffy and in the end, she had to be slapped silly by Vi (with the best character development of the potentials, I think.) I've also spotted Rona in commercials, there was one in particular at the beginning of the year, after the holidays, with a guy who'd worn out all his credit cards to just slits of plastic with a magnetic band... Quite funny.

Iyari is very sweet, I met her just after Buffy had ended and "Angel" was winding down. If she's now doing non-speaking parts in commercials maybe it's not due to karma, but to the fact that you still have to pay the rent/mortgage (same reason why good actors like Brian Dennehy or Gene Hackman act in total turkeys I usually end up translating, since they go straight-to-video most of the time.)
