set on a course that was bound to hurt more people from the beginning. But I still had sympathy for her at the same time. :( She was used.
Agreed!
Love Kate, though. I'm glad I hadn't stumbled across online fandom when the show was on-air, because I would have been constantly raging about people disliking a useful, interesting, good secondary female character. (Yeah, Kate's definitely a litmus character for me. Someone can dislike her--fine. But if they start ranting about how awful she was, I seem to take it personally. Oh brain. So weird.)
Oh, I completely feel the same way about Kate! It's nice to find another Kate fan. :)
I really did like just about all the female characters on Angel! And considering how many recurring/main female characters there were, that actually surprised me when I first realized it - though I tend to be sympathetic to female characters in general.
