MacThree-
you all can have your fantasies about Kate. Go for it...
Frankly the character has lacked substance for a long time. She runs from everything and it is just not something I enjoy about her character.
the actress is very attractive and I can see the attraction for the audience that is attracted/turned on by her.
but my reasons are soley based on character and the character just lacks.

I just don't get why people seem to find her so annoying that they're rooting for her to die. Evangeline Lilly's attractiveness aside, I guess I sort of like her character. In a way, Kate has probably had the least evolution of all the characters, but I find that endearing in a way - she's always stayed true to form - even if she can't make up her mind between Sawyer and Jack. But between all of the female characters on the show, Kate is the first one I'd want by my side in a tough situation.
