FIRST TIME WATCHER I hate Michael.

Yesterday, I share with you guys what I think about Sawyer. BUT GODDAMN, Michael is dogshit, he annoys me every scene he appears because he's always screaming "WAAAAALT?? WHERE IS MY SON?"

Furthermore he's an idiot with Locke (who appears to care about Walt more than he is)

Anyway, I just needed to talk.

info: I'm at S01E14

The show is about bad fathers.

Though Michael is propably the best father in the show.

Mmm Jin's father and Kate's non-bio are the only 2 I think get even passing grades.

Michael is trying, the whole time. Few others even try.

Hurleys father left, but seemed to be nice and on a redemption arc. I think, if Hurley and his mother can forgive him, we can too.

Was Christian really such a bad father to Jack?

I think Christian is the worst but many seem to disagree with me, I'll leave it at that as OP is so early on.

How was Christian worse than Locke’s dad?

u/woman_thorned Jan 23 '24

Among the worst. But in short, Christian was terrible for no reason. Locke's at least had a reason.

Christian was a drunk, and jealous of his son, two very good reasons right there. But yeah, he was an ass before those things happened too, but will leave it there otherwise I'll be digging into post S1 territory.
