Hinderance is that she's not hitting the type I love - too young, not intelligent enough, not really a moral player, doesn't seem to have any interests, is not all that funny.
In other words, there really isn't much of a way they could have made a Rose (with the premise that Rose had) into a character that you liked, because you dislike her premise. Which is, of course, valid. I couldn't get into Farscape because I couldn't get invested into the characters that I was being told to enjoy watching (naturally, I disagree with you re: Rose's intelligence, morality, funniness, and whether or not she has interests, but at this point, this should not come as a surprise to either of us).
And, of course, if she'd been the kind of character that you could have loved, I likely would have disliked her and stopped watching with Rose.
I never really fell for Cordelia, could cope with Willow for the most part. Tara was lovely. Fred I wavered on but I mostly liked her I think. Dawn grew on me quite fast.
Ha, I'm vastly amused that I agree with all of those but Willow (I only ever warmed to her in S7, and even there, not all that much) and Dawn (who I took longer to like).
No, hate would be wanting her dead or something. It sort of weirds me out that I want her to get the happy ending that's always been about family. I can't see her going back to that shop, which would just be depressing, but the happy ending is getting to go home and do something interesting as well. Is it not?
Is it? Only if the person wants to go home. If the person has specifically stated how much they adore traveling and how little they want to go home, it sounds more like a terrible punishment to send them there.
