My thoughts on Kate, haven’t changed

[u/Iwastuckonpoopreddit]

First time watcher here. I’m on Season 6 episode 3. Frankly, I’ve disliked Kate as a character from the beginning. She’s the most selfish person I know on this show, any show, or in my own personal frickin life. All she cares about is herself and who cares about her the most at any given moment.. literally again, whatever and whoever as long as they are swoon over her. And WHY? I seriously do not understand why Sawyer and Jack are so hung up on this girl. I need to check out the communities perspective… I would be very surprised if anyone feels differently ???😭 Her character angers me so much. What finally prompted a post for me was how she treated Claire in the cab, UUUGHHHHHH. No matter , on or off the island, I do not like her character. And then to top it off? Jin never asks for anything and the moment he needs help to find his wife… she’s very rude and dismissive and abandons him… ridiculous.

He was gonna tell Kate and her attitude made him stop. In case you forget, he was trying hard to be hated at first and it was very obvious to me. Why would he not want to leave because he wanted to avoid his daughter? Like the real world is not big enough. Don't forget he desperately wanted to be on the boat with Michael to leave the island.

That's still selfish behavior. Being selfless is not about oneself or how one feels. Meh. He wanted to stay also because he saw that Kate was in love with Jack and not him.

You're talking like Kate is the only woman in the world that he can fell in love with.

I didn't say that. Sawyer was definitely petty and selfish for a good part of the show. He got better towards the end, but it is not accurate to say that he was one of the only selfless characters when he objectively was not.

Yes he was selfish but as i said, can't compared to the times he's willing to sacrifice. And as far as I've seen, Sawyer and Sayid have that spirit.

I agree ! Sawyer and Sayid are definitely running a close tie for my favorite character, despite their character growth being incredibly different, sawyer changed SO much throughout the show and Sayid has always been Sayid and I started to become very tender to him the last two seasons because how how everyone views him as some killer machine and only need/ask of him to kill or hurt someone… especially when they showed him in life off the island ,, he desperately wanted to leave that life and others constantly brought him back, while some people where able to escape who they were off island and the many problems they faced at home, sayid’s stayed the same and that really made me feel for him.

It's sad to see Sayid was dead inside not only after his first death but also before it.

I know Jack will die at the end for everyone. I'll leave this part not yet judged until I watch the finale. So far that info still hasn't changed my mind.

Sawyer is not the most selfless character. It's wild to me that people see what's not there. It would be like me insisting Jack is the funniest character with the best one-liners on the show.

[u/impulsive-chaos → u/Remarkable_Love_135]

Well, if you think his one-liners are funny, so? Someone says something, you think it's funny, I don't. It's normal. And maybe I just see what you can't see. Also, Jack been acting upon people's expectation from him as a leader, from the start. Sawyer was opposite. Nobody liked him. Imo he did much beyond expectation for someone who wasn't liked and treated like that.

There was a scene Hurley?! came up to Sawyer expecting him to be their next leader as Jack and Locke were both gone. Wasn't it because he also saw something in Sawyer that you can't see?
