Sympathy? Empathy? Apathy?

[deird_lj]

Commenters on this post seemed very split on whether they sympathised with Kate or Justine (no-one really seemed to sympathise with both).

So I started wondering…


Here's a poll - about the background characters on AtS (or the female ones, anyway) and what people's reactions to them are.

Kate is one of my favourites in the entire show. I do think they floundered with her character in season two, and I understood Angel being weary and irritated with it all, but I always sympathised with her. (I also shipped her with Angel hardcore, but considering how they handled Cordy/Angel...it's probably best they didn't go there.) I wish she'd at least been mentioned after leaving, so we knew she wasn't dead in a ditch somewhere or something.

I agree with all of this! Kate is totally my favorite noir-heroine-that-shoulda-been. It's awesome to find a fellow Kate fan! :)

*grin* Definitely!

In my head she became a rogue demon hunter. And possibly, after Chosen, a Slayer.

In my head she joins the police force in Cleveland - which, being on a Hellmouth, probably has some interesting stuff to deal with.

I like this idea a lot, too!

Yes to all of this! :D

Great idea! And now you're giving me Kate-meeting-Buffy properly plot bunnies!

[ticketsonmyself.livejournal.com]

I would totally read that!

And with the right journal this time!
