Lost -- It's All About the Daddies

I really enjoy Lost. I have been thinking about how awesome it has been recently and have done a lot of other evaluating, but I have come to the very simple conclusion that the entire show is about Daddy Issues.

It has been a running theme with me for a year and a half or so... and Best Week Ever made fun of a few of these issues recently... so I decided to expand.

Those who like Lost will understand what I am referencing with each of these character issues.

1. Locke's dad was a prick and all of his problems... even his paralysis... were a direct result of his father's negligence.

2. Sawyer's mother was conned by a man who turned out not to be a good stepfather...

3. Jack and Claire have the same father.... who was also a douchebag.

4. Hurley's problems stemmed from his verbally abusive and loser father.

5. Kate's issues revolve around the murdering of her step father who filled in for the father who either left or died... I forget which one.

6. Jin is embarrassed by his father's profession (fisherman)

7. Sun and Jin's problems are a result of her father being a complete asshole.

8. Ben killed his loser father...

9. Also... Desmond is where he is because Penelope's father pushed him away and paid him to leave.

The only ones I can't figure out or remember in terms of fathers are Sayid and Charlie... but both of them had "family" issues even in one of the last episodes where we saw some of Charlie's interactions with his father and in an episode from last or two seasons ago...

As far as I remember... Sayid's issues are mostly Iraq and his wife.

Add all this together and you have an island that tortures women who get pregnant by killing them... Damn fathers are killing them... and at the root of all evil apparently...



Blah blah blah blah blah blah....

The following was the rambling of a dopey silly pants who can't figure out the show so he tried to make some semblance of anything he could...
