Terrorism?
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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

Actually there is one obvious reason a British Catholic with a brother called liam would know how to use a handgun
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.

I put Kate in the 'evil agenda' pile a while back. All her good deeds seem like ways to ingratiate herself to me. And I know there's been a few examples where this can't be true - saving the marshall, for example - I still don't trust her.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I'm not sure Kate knows what her agenda is. She often seems motivated by the good of others. She manipulated the bank robbers but defended the bank manager against them when push came to shove. she saved the old man after she'd caused the accident. she did save the marshal when she could have just let him asphixiate.
I read a lot of ambiguity in her character, but not evil.

I just saw TO'Q on L&O:CI, playing the good-guy pharmaceutical CEO who was betrayed by his flunkies who redistributed AIDS-tainted blood to Thailand instead of destroying it like they were supposed to. Good actor.
