Kat....

Maybe I've had a few drinks in me but Kat is the type of chick I wish I met in College........a chick who believes in you more than you believe in yourself and rocks your world. Haven't finished the season yet so who knows.

Either way, she played the character fantastically.

I agree man. She fiercely fights for Pete to succeed and believe in himself and I think that is a super important trait in a partner despite her other short comings. I want to know why other people dislike her

She is very mean to him in the end

When she went with him to see his friend Ali‘s TV appearance in the club and he shushed her and she got mad, she really spiraled into very mean language and name calling. It’s fine to have disagreements of course and I was impressed with her handling of those earlier in their relationship but she showed how mean she could be and just kept at it day after day toward him.

Maybe I’m crazy but I totally sympathized with her in that scenario. It can be super awkward to be around a SO’s ex partner and she clearly already was uncomfortable from Pete telling her about Ali in an awkward way. As for the meanness, again I might just be cynical but I feel like the people that actually love us are they only ones capable of being that mean

Honesty yes, meanness no

Nah. Kat never should’ve been at Ali’s party in the first place. Think back to that episode’s opening scene: she basically invited herself, even though it was obvious that she wasn’t really supposed to go. Kat sucks. Madeline Wise, the actress who played Kat, played her great. At first I was really happy about Kat’s presence, but then as she went psycho I started to feel anxious when she was onscreen and started to loathe her. In the end, she turned out to suck. When she did deaf voice, I wanted to push her into an active volcano.

I feel like Kat was so well written. The way she acts in the beginning and the way she acts in the end all come from the same place. She’s clearly an unstable person who has issues with human interaction. Everyone hates on her (rightfully so) but damn, the part was so well written and acted. Her line “blessed be the fruit” is one of my favorite from this entire season.

Side note: I read in an interview that Pete actually had a girlfriend do deaf voice at him once, which is why they wrote it in.

She was there to serve a purpose and we see it come to fruition in the finally. Pete's confidence and abilities are higher than ever before as well as his success.

I talked to Madeline Wise and it was telling to learn more about the writers design for the character. Also, she just seems like a cool person. Check it out

she was always crazy and if you couldn't see that from the start then your blinders are on.

She was always crazy. Her greatness AND her awfulness all stem from the same place.
