Was anyone else disappointed by how Kate got off with only a slap on the wrist for all the bad things she'd done? I was really disappointed by the court case. Her mom doesn't show up so suddenly the whole case falls apart? I'm sorry, uh...hunh? The prosecutor loses one witness. What about witnesses from the bank she robbed? What about witnesses from the shootout at the hospital where her ex-boyfriend was killed? The defense uses Jack as a character witness and suddenly everybody is on her side? The prosecutors could have just as easily used her ex-boyfriend's widow and his baby as witnesses against Kate. It was just too easy. I felt really gyped.

Don't get me wrong; I DID want Kate to get away with it because I feel like she's paid for her crime already. But I didn't want her to get away with it like that! I hoped it wouldn't go to trial because it just wasn't believable to me that the real world would forgive her. The evidence was too much; they would have to convict her. There had been such a buildup among Lost fans for so long about "What's gonna happen to Kate when she's back in the real world??? How's she gonna deal with her past?" Such a big buildup for such a big letdown. The court case should have been more tense. Keep me on the edge of my seat...something, I don't know!
