I hate Kate because she's given far too much airtime, which she greedily steals away from the better, far more interesting character. Yes, we get it, she's not a bad person and she had to do the things she did; but it seems the writers have a hard on for her. Do you guys realize it's been two full seasons since a Sawyer-centric episode?
Two!
Meanwhile Kate has had like 9-centric episodes.
God, imagine how terrible LOST would be if they had done what they originally planned and Kate was the main character.
