Please tell me that euphemism wouldn't involve bowmp-chicka-wa-wa music.

No, more along the lines of the whoosh of a thrown knife. I'm hoping the screwup is more along the lines that it negates his minion value. Given that Boone also knows about the hatch, I don't think Locke would hesitate to take him out if he thought he was a liability.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

though I had the issues with an English guy being able to handle a gun.

Actually there is one obvious reason a British Catholic with a brother called liam would know how to use a handgun, but I doubt they'd want to open that box...

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

Desperately trying to think of Oasis parallels but coming up short..

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Terrorism?

Northern Ireland is part of Britain, no?

Heh. You'd think he'd have had a go with a baseball bat first.

I don't trust Kate even a teeny bit. She's a liar and a manipulator, and she's freakishly accomplished at both. So, yeah, Kate as most dangerous person, methinks.

I think she and Locke should have a knife/gunfight to see who's king or queen of Crazy and Deadly Mountain.

Kate's not crazy. Not interesting enough.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Kate's a dangerous person, when you rate her on objective scales of skilfulness, e.g., but I don't think she's nearly as dangerous as several others in context. She rates very highly on the "know thyself" scale, for one thing, which means that her dangerousness is much more likely to be intentional than others, and intentionality says control to me.

I'd far rather hang out with the ninja assassin, who might one day decide to kill me, than with the gun-collector with a spastic disorder, you know?

If she turns out to have some evil agenda, I will upgrade her contextual dangerousness score, but right now, presuming not-benevolence but at least a willingness to contribute to group needs? I'll take five of her over one of the mooshy boys.

You know, I read what people say about Kate and think "Sure, could be."

But someone's failing me. Writers? Directors? Lilly? Makeup? Dunno. I don't get the sort of sly and conniving I think she should be.
