In my mind, Kate/Rachel and Kitty/Rachel is connected because a large part of what Rachel feels for Kitty comes from her love for Kate, at least initially. Especially in Excalibur, where she randomly refers to Kitty as Kate. I liked her so much better when she was crazy, angsty, and mixing up her realities. :(
I like the tragic vibe of Kate/Rachel and that probably has contributed to my Rachel/Kitty love. I prefer Rachel/Kitty, of course, but early "Excalibur" always makes me think that Kate is the big love of Rachel's life and Kitty is maybe just her attempt to recapture it. Which is a pessimistic view of the relationship, but I kind of like my ships doomed and tragic. ;) But I think Rachel/Kitty is one of the few where I want them to end up happy and together. Oh, and Pete can and should join them.
Hmmm. I uploaded "Wisdom" and e-mailed you the links to them a while ago. I'll resend.
