Potentials

[Beck]

Who were your favourites and which ones did you hate the most?

I don't have a favourite I really didn't particularly like any of them My least favourite is a toss up between Rona and Kennedy. Rona was a stupid cow, and Kennedy was a bossy cow. I hated the way Kennedy tried to push herself into the Scoobies core group and boss everyone around. Loved when Faith put her back in her box.

I think I'm the only one here who actually likes Kennedy. I liked her spunky attitude (yes.. some may mistake it for bitchy ). And I liked her with Willow, too. (But that's another topic).

I don't really know the other names, except Rona and Vi. Oh and Amanda. I didn't mind Amanda in Potential - but after that she bugged me. I didn't like Rona at all. But I didn't mind Vi. She was peppy and had a high energy.

I really like Amanda. She was really the only one we were able to see from the beginning of their Slayer journey. The others had already been discovered as Potentials, and some had watchers and/or had even done battle, by the time they arrived in Sunnydale. We got to see how Amanda found out and how she handled it.

I don't like Kennedy. I thought that while she obviously had more experience than most if not all of the other potentials, she was far too cocky around Buffy and Faith and I don't like how she pushed herself in with Willow, too. Had they gradually developed into a relationship I may not have minded so much, but the fact that Kennedy manipulated the times when they were alone-ish bugged me.

The others were...others. I saw them mostly as extras with a few lines here and there.

I totally agree with you Marie on Kennedy I didn't like her when she first came in but I didn't hate her until she started forcing herself on Willow. I liked Vi she had a good attitude and would most likely make a good slayer, sortof in between Buffy and Kenndra in personality. Amanda was cool too so shame she had to die.

The rest we're just 'cannon fodder' as Anya would put it!

Didnt really like any except for Vi and Amanda. Amanda was a geek so plus points there and Vi just looked so awesome in Chosen and was very cute. Much hate towards Kennedy and Rona. Ugh. Kennedy just seemed forced upon us. Like we needed another scooby. Rona was just in a bad mood all the time. I mean i know that she was facing danger but she was with other people in her position and should have found at least a little comfort in that. But she seemed to have all this hate towards Buffy, right from the beginning. Hate Buffy equals me hating you

[Bre]

I didn't think Kennedy was being forced upon us. And I don't think she was being forced to be one of the Scoobies, either. She wasn't supposed to fit in with them.

And about her and Willow. I don't think she was forcing Wil into anything she didn't want to be involved in. I personally, was sick of Willow drooping around about Tara - because, well there relationship was kind of boring. And with Kennedy, she finally kicked Willow into reality, and I don't think Willow would have stayed with Kennedy if she didn't want to.

Well it was the last season, so they didn't really have time to gradually develop into a relationship.

[Beck]

Amanda kind f annoyed me. Even before she became a potential her character annoyed me :dunno: Vi was alright. I wish we hadn't seen so much of the potentials, took up too much screen time imo. And there were too many of them for me to care about any.

[buffymanic]

I think Amanda's voice was a little annoying but other than that she was no worse that Dawn and even she wasn't too annoying in season 7

[Beck]

The voice was annoying, but it was more just her that anoyed me. Dunno why really. When she was first seen in Buffy's office I was thinking "what a loser" and then she became a regular

[buffymanic]

lol but she's a classic geeky girl we're supposed to warm to them and then support them when they get their overwhelming power

[Beck]

Yeah no, I was still pretty much thinking "What a loser"

[Kana]

Awww Beck. Amanda's ok. I actually thought she was ok. Unlike most people I didn't hate Kennedy and Rona, I was just indifferent to them as I was with the rest of the potentials. Oh but Molly? I'm not sure if Caleb killed her to destroy the slayer line or because of her atrocious accent.

[Loz]

I pretty much hated them all I didn't really enjoy the whole 'potential' storyline. I know why it was done and i appreciate the concept but i was not a fan
I agree with Beck , Amanda was a loser and i couldn't have cared less when she bit it. Rona was a bitch. Kennedy- don't even get me started on her. The rest pretty much blur together..... Vi was the only one i could stomach.

[gilescrazy]

i didn't like Ron and I hated Kennedy believe me she was stuid not to mention bitchy.....and she really didn't belong with Willow

[Beck]

I don't get why they forced someone like Kennedy on Willow, it made so little sense. Kennedy wasn;t stupid though, she was a bitch and annoying.

[gilescrazy]

i wish they would've broguht back Tara....

It didn't feel forced to me. I'm glad they did get together because it would have been annoying if Willow was depressed all of the time because of Tara. She needed to eventually get over it, and I think the season would have been bad with Willow crying the whole time.

[buffymanic]

She didn't need some one new to help her get over it, she had her friends support. There was no way she'd be craying the whole season.

And nothing in this world is going to change my mind that the relationship was forced, in script and on screen, sure the flirting could have been fun but I think its unrealistic to see Willow fall so fast for the 2nd lesbian she's hung out wiv!

[gilescrazy]

i really didn't like the relationship that Willow had with kennedy and i perticulery don't like kenndy at all if it comes to that but i really wouldn't say it was forced

[Allan]

I didn't mind Kennedy, or Amanda.

I also really think it's hard to get a real "feel" for most of them, because we were ntroduced to so many in such a short period of time.
