No, what I said was, that as a cop, Kate didn't have the luxury of being like everyone else. She has to be objective. Its her job. As a cop, she would have to look at a case and reason out who did it. If she was working on a case she couldn't just arrest any known pedophile. She would have to find the one who did it. Angel was not evil, Angel was not the one who killed her father. Kate should have been able to reason that out as a cop.
Kate was
first and foremost a
human being. With that description in itself you
have to accept that she is flawed because no one is perfect.
Your entire comment seems to suggest that ecause she is a 'Cop' she automatically loses what it takes to be human which is preposterous.
READ what I said. I said I got the impression...as in my opinion. I am not trying to prove it as fact. I added the internet link to show that I'm not the only person in the world who got that impression. And it's only in your opinion that a love interest was not hinted at!
And what I did was say to you that your 'opinion' should only be yours as you cannot provide actual facts to back it up.
You added a link from a site that is suggesting they knew what was going on within the show, when in fact all THEY have is opinion too.
Angel, seems to have types....Darla - blonde, Buffy - blonde, along with similar strong personalities, so forgive me for thinking that the new, introdcued female character (who is blond and can kick ass) is Angel's new love interest.
Also, I wouldn't describe Cordy as those things. Cordy's single minded. Faith was kick ass but with a suprising vulnerability and Willow didn't have 'steely resolve'. She used to come through at the end, but she always questionned her powers.
So, no. I don't think that every female character has the same personality types.
Yes, but Darla and Buffy are NOTHING personality wise.
As for Cordy....did you see the show?
Her entire character is the epitome of a woman on the path top being strong, confident, powerful and with a steely resolve.
Willow is exactly the same. By the end of Buffy Willow is given the chance to see this in herself and becomes this.
Not once did i say that any of these characters were this from the start, BUT they ALL had it in them to be that one day.
Its Joss' entire reason for the show, the Empowerment of women, which is born from a place of confidence, self reliance/belief, and to stick to what they believe no matter what 'The Man' says.
No woman was weak within the confines of the show by the time they finally left...which brings us back to 'Oh yeah, pretty much every leading and eventual co-star in the show'.
Even the crazy Drusilla had these traits.
And as I stated before, Kate was blaming Angel for the acts of the vampire race. In her professional job, Kate can't have the luxury of not being objective. She has to look at cases and see who is responsible...she can't blame everything on one person. She wouldn't have been trained like that.
Because he was a representation of everything in the world that was bad.
When she did learn the truth of Vampires, she immediately went looking for information and what does she find - the exploits of Angelus.
She knows the horror that Angelus caused, she doesn't know how to differentiate between the two because she still doesn't understand. BUT when she sees he isn't like that, she begins to understand he is different...until her father is murdered by Vampires.
In that moment she is brought deeper into a world of terror and she blames Angel for pulling her into it. Added to tht these beasts are what killed her, she is reminded of the evil that Angelus did.
Being a Cop doesn't give her a protective shield so that she can step away from her thoughts, feelings and emotions, she is still human and THATS why her reaction is far more believable than most of the other people who 'find out' about the Demon world.
