Andyroid: Don't we already have a Love Makes You Crazy entry?
Solandra: Yep, we do. It appears to me that both have the same concept -- that a romance can cause Character Derailment. Crazy, dumb -- it's all caused by love 'cause you can't fight it. Following from that, this entry is redundant.
Someone set me straight if I'm wrong. >.>
Ununnilium: Mmmmmm, I disagree.
Love Makes You Crazy focuses on the silly things characters in love do, while Love Makes You Dumb focuses on how a Romance Arc can derail a character.

Do we count Brock from Pokemon under this (albiet not any specific girl, but it seems to be more or less his only purpose at the moment)? I notice he's already under Love Makes You Crazy, though.
Idle Dandy: I don't really agree with the characterization of Kate at all. She's been fairly torn between Jack and Sawyer throughout the series, and I don't recall either of these affections leading her to do anything stupid. The only majorly stupid actions she's taken (following the guys in "The Hunting Party" comes to mind) are due to being left out of the loop. Going after Jack at the barracks in season 3 may not have had the greatest outcome, but it was pretty heroic, I think.
