Kate goes to extreme lengths to get a case back (both in the flashbacks and on the island).

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I can completely seeing Sawyer trying that angle. I can also see Kate snorting and saying "whatever, dude. You keep playing house with snickerbitch, and I'll go find Sayid."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'll tell you how that would work: every female viewer with an ounce of self-respect turning on the character.
Don't try to tell me how much self-respect I have.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.
I'd like to see him sitting in a chair, getting his beard shaved and his laundry washed and some other girl cooking his dinner.
The moment they turn one of the characters into (or add a new character to be) Sawyer's personal mama-san, I'm so done with this show. It's already rather imbalanced in terms of female characters -- only four of them, and none of them really breaking that far from cliche. It's why I was so disappointed when Claire's brief moment of independence in Homecoming vanished under Charlie's psuedomacho outburst of bullets and she's back to "Charlie! You're so dreamy!"
This doesn't mean a female character has to be ubermacho -- I actually enjoy the way that Sun manages to be quietly independent while not being so far from tradition. She didn't go ask anyone whether she should start a garden, she didn't go ask Jack or Sayid or anyone for aprobation, she just judged the situation and started planting. Yes, a traditional female role but I think the independence is in the thought, not the action.

Leaving the other stuff aside, is it wrong that I think it might be kind of hot to see Kate or Sun (or better yet, Sayid), shaving Sawyer?

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

Is it a straight razor?

yeah, ummm...except when i read that i was liking Josh's train of thought. i'd like to see Kate get a taste of her own manipulation skills.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Wait a second, Bank Robber is too close to cliche? Girl who lived with a guy and got pregnant and had to be talked into staying pregnant then went to scary psychic is too close to a cliche? Shannon is the most clicheed character, IMO, and the least interesting, but I don't find the other three close to cliches, unless you define clicheed women's roles incredibly broadly, like "unmarried and pregnant".
