I always secretly wished Seth would have taken Kate with him at the end of the movie. She didn't have anything to go home to. Her whole family was dead, and she had been through some really traumatizing sh*t. The ending of this season was how I wanted the movie to end. I can't wait to see where their characters will end up next season.
shareYou know, it always bothered me after Seth left at the end of the movie. Like...wtf? The girl just lost her entire family to VAMPIRES, and you're going to leave her alone in Mexico of all places? How is she supposed to explain anything to border patrol?
shareLikewise! If you can get a hold of the original script, the alternate ending would be a real treat for you. Hell one of the reasons why I love the show so much is because they brought back a lot of abandoned material that there just wasn't time for in the film. I'm glad the show went with this ending and can't wait to see where the two of them ended up.
shareSo the alternative is for a minor to stay in Mexico with a wanted criminal? Also just because her immediate family was dead, doesn't mean she had no family. There was never anything to imply she didn't have uncles or cousins back in America. I guess her father was old enough I could believe his parents were dead. But what about her mother's parents? I would rather take my risks going back home where you have friends and neighbors who considering who her father was would probably help her, than a life on the run in Mexico with a known criminal.
shareWell, from a cinematic viewpoint, staying with Seth is more interesting than going home to distant relatives that may or may not exist. After what she's experienced, and with her brother still there, I like the idea of her staying. In reality, no. I would want her to go home. But for the purposes of the show, I kind of want her to stay with Seth and learn how to kick ass. I want her to be darker next season, and I want more interactions between her and Richie. I want her to meet up with her brother again. Can't wait until next season.
shareFor the purpose of the show it would have been far more realistic and truthful to her character for her to go with the police officer not the man responsible for the death of her family.
shareI always assumed that at the end of the movie she just followed Seth. He didn't want to take her because he didn't think El Ray was a good place for her. In his mind, he when he'd taken her and her family hostage, he was @#$%ing up there lives, but it was only for a limited time. But if he took her to El Ray, he @#$% up the rest of her life. He'd always intended to let Kate and her family go free if they cooperated, but having her go with him to EL Ray, she never would have ben able to have a normal life, not that she could after what happened at the Titty Twister, but she could at least return to some sense or normality. Hence his meaning that he's an a$$hole, but he's not a @#$%ing a$$hole. He was trying to tell her that he didn't want to screw up her life any more than it actually was.
In any case, I took the end to mean that even though he left without her, she knew that she couldn't go back to a normal life and could make her own decisions now. Seth was really all she had left, and so she decided to follow him if he wouldn't take her with him. At leasts that's what I always got out of it.
Throughout the film Kate's character is portrayed as an innocent pastor's daughter (albeit with a little mischievous side); but innocent. When Seth made the remark regarding him not being a 'efffing a-hole', I took that to mean he was not going to take advantage of a minor.
It'd be interesting to know if that was what Tarantino meant.
That's what I got from that, too. There were some lines he just wasn't going to cross.
shareWeird, I never got a sexual connotation from that line. I just always thought that he was gonna go off and continue doing odd jobs, and he didn't want to 'ruin' her life anymore than he already had.
shareThat's how I interpreted it too.
