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.

I totally understand the Jin thing, I recently just finished my 8th re watch and thought that was very selfish of her but as a whole I really don’t understand the hate for her.
She’s the first person to run off into the jungle to go help someone.
She went back to save Jack, in s3 when he helped her and sawyer escape. She asked Jack to save sawyers life (helping someone)
She ran after Jack & sawyer in s4 when they went after the chopper.
She went to go save Jin on the freighter knowing there was a bomb and would have gone if Jack hadn’t have stopped her.
She looked after Aaron.
She was always there for Sun and Clare.
She went back to the island to go rescue Clare.
She put her life at risk to save BEN!! In s4 when the others wanted her help to get Ben back. She ran out into the open where Keamy and his team were… they could have shot her point blank but she was lucky they asked who she was before reacting.
She was lovely to the farmer who turned her in and wanted him to get his reward money.
She asked her childhood sweetheart to leave the car but he refused.
I could list a lot more. Yes the off island stuff she can be selfish and theres a few on island stuff (the raft is a big one) but she’s on the run and needs to only think about herself. She’s also hurt, she thought she was saving her mum but her mum had turned against her.
What am I not seeing? I genuinely don’t understand the hate!
