Only problem is — as fans of the HBO series know — her ruthless resistance group leader character Kathleen was killed off at the end of the first sea- son. “If they wanted to go back and do an origin story, I would be there for it,” Lynskey tells me. “The story of how this woman got into this crazy position would be really interesting.”
