I absolutely adore Firefly, it's one of my favourite shows. For me then the likeability of the actor isn't in question - loved her as Kaylee and thought she was perfect - it's the writing of this one that's the issue.
If you're going to have hissing space vampires and killer robots you have to make the core cast believable, and that's the sticking point. Some people in fandom see Keller as a person, some people see Keller as a badly written construct and so the divide sits. Some character, two different ways of engaging with it. And I've got to agree with much of how you view it. Meh.
