I can imagine her beating the shit out of Kate.
Or Jack.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She just needs to start with Kate.
It's possible that Michelle Rodriguez doesn't possess the delicacy to portray the harmlessness that Kate should be able to present, but I'd rather see the actress fail in that direction than to fail as utterly as I see Lilly at seeming even slightly competent, not to mention a threatening criminal.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
For the love of Mike, am I the only person on Earth who likes Kate?

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I like Kate. A lot, actually.

I might like Kate played by someone else. I find the writing rocky, but rescuable by strong acting.

I like Lilly more than the writing. She's good enough to make me wish Kate were written well enough for me to like her.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I like Kate, too. Evangeline Lilly doesn't always do it for me, but there have been several scenes in which I've really believed her. Surprisingly for someone I don't consider an overall great actor, she's been able to evoke genuine emotion--anger, terror, sorrow--without coming across as maudlin or over-the-top.

She's never done anything to convince me she's a threat. She's done the soft and weepy stuff just fine -- not the "I will cut you where you stand for my toy plane" stuff, though.

That's interesting. I hadn't really given it much thought, but while I bought it just fine when she kneecapped her "boyfriend", I haven't bought a single "badass" moment of hers otherwise.
I really did like it when she did the "count to 5" pause in the pilot, though.
