Hedging his bets, I guess.

I'm really trying not to prejudge. She just shouldn't look like...Barbie, if they want us to take her seriously. I don't get deadly off her. I get hair product.

In deference to Plei, I'll try not to use Barbie as a descriptor.

And it's good she appeals to some of the audience, if it helps keep the show on the air. I was just expecting something a bit more believeably tough and experienced.

It's almost masculine, but not in the typical way with the heavy broad jaw. Her nose is strong, heck, her whole face is made of interesting angles, with teeth slightly too large for her mouth and her narrow, almost sleepy eyes. She's not exactly pretty, not in the traditional sense, but she's appealling.

I am hoping that the more I see her, the less she'll give me a Kristen Bell vibe because while I am sure she's smart as Veronica Mars, I don't see her taking down demons. [obligatory, I don't watch VM comment here so I'm only giving my general sense of a character on a show I didn't watch.]

Then again, we've seen really nothing of her so far. We just know that Sam's Nose knows she's watching him.

So I'm waiting to see.

Yeah, kinda catnip. Not my usual brand of it, but one of the subvarieties, for sure.

She gives me no Kristen Bell vibe at all. I find Kristen Bell to be blandly unattractive. And she moves differently.

Actually, for all that she's blonde, KC's moves and motions remind me more of Eliza's than anyone else.

YOu know no catnip here - but nothing that makes me believe she can't kill demons either. Heck I believed it when she did it, and delivered the "I saved your ass" line believably. Absolutely nothing like Barbie, I'm certainly willing to give her a chance as a bad-ass demon hunter or demon or mysterious stranger where we don't know what side she is on for a while.

I wasn't thinking Veronica, but I completely heard Buffy saying the dialogue. I didn't think I would, but the bit we have seen, I like her. I'm not interested enough to have her take much screen time from either brother, but I'm liking her much more than I thought. Dude, if she's in a spin-off, I'm there! I like her better than the woman playing the Bionic woman and KC only had a few minutes on screen.

With David Cassidy's daughter on set, maybe the boys can pick up some good life lessons about how to deal with all the fan attention. Not that they aren't handling it well, just she would be able to put some perspective on it for them.

I hope her backstory involves either having been trained to do this sort of thing since she was in Grranimals, or being much, much older than she looks.

Matt speaks for me.

Well the boys have to interact with somebody. I gather that nobody thinks there is much of a shot for my hope that she turns out to be the big bad. I guess that would be kind of subtle for this series.

Dude, but KC, like Misha Barton, looks a decade older than she is. Why do you think I am having mental skeeved issues re: her hotness level?

She doesn't LOOK like a 20 year old girl. She looks closer to 30. (She's like Alona Tal in reverse, in that respect. I adore AT, but she looked like she was in her late teens at most as Jo, at least until BUaBS. KC has the more formed look of adulthood about her.)
