Lyra Jane is me. I'd be sad about Kate or Claire, but still. Of course this may have something to do with the fact that I'd have been just as useless in the beginning, maybe not as bitchy, but still useless.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's the bitchy that bothers me, honestly. Useless? Whatever. Selfish? Oddly, she's unredeemed.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'd probably be as bitchy for the first hour or so, realize I was useless and start being nicer. But I can totally see me in a plane crash all "WTF is this shit. Assholes!" and lashing out angry at the universe in a totally ineffective way.
But you know, whatever. I like cilantro, olives and salt, so I'm clearly not to be trusted.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I'll admit I'd have probably had a very similar response to the crash itself, but I like to think the realization that it was necessary to pull my shit together and start helping would take hold a few days sooner.
I thought she did well enough in the first few episodes, but since well before "Hearts and Minds" she's been reminding me of a cardboard cutout.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
what it comes down to for me...I can't see why the fuck Sayid would want to be with her. So because of that, she needs to go.

Oh, I totally hear that.

Up with the sun
I'd rather see Sayid with her than lusting after Kate, like every other man on the island.
Am I alone in my Kate hate?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Well, it would be nice if they had more women featured. I don't hate Kate yet...but that's because I think the writing of her has been weird. If I get over the weird motivations, I think she is a good actress.
I am HOPING the new character will be a romantic interest for Sayid. I think they would make a hot couple.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I like Kate. Not always thrilled with how her chracter is written, but that's true for everyone on the island. I think the actress does a good job, though.

Well, two of them, which seems fair enough. Who else they gonna get smitten with? I don't like Kate, but someone needs two admirers, because you have to have a romantic triangle, and I'd rather see guys doing the admiring than girls, since I shudder to think of how the other way would be written.
