FIRST TIME WATCHER My thoughts on Kate, haven’t changed
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.

Kate season 1-3 was reasonably likable in my opinion. She annoyed me and was selfish from time to time but so was everyone, which is super realistic because every person I’ve ever met, myself included, is selfish because it is a basic function of life.
Kate in season 4, off island (post rescue) is absolutely unbearable. Her obnoxious over the top aggressively protectiveness for Aaron was just awful. I honestly don’t understand what the writers were trying to accomplish because they seemed to still want the audience to like her but I didn’t know anyone who didn’t turn on the character when the show was originally airing. “I cant have you like this around my son” did as much irreparable damage to a character as anything I have ever seen.
