love how LOST was like: here's Desmond Hume, a man without father who had to raise three brothers. He obviously drink and has clear issues with authoriry figures. He enters a monastery, a place where ha has to live in proximity to, solely, men and has to obediently follow orders and a tight schedule. He also joins the military, another place where he has to live in proximity to, mainly, men and where he has to follow orders&imposed schedule. He then goes to jail, yet another place where he's forced to live in close proximity to men and must follow orders&schedule. And then he ends up on an island where he finds himself inside a hatch he shares with yet another men and where he has to follow orders. And a schedule. But it doesn't end here because who is Des' archenemy? A man who acts as a patriarch, who's the father of Des' soulmate and who, obviously, doesn't respect Desmond not even a little bit. The father figure to end all other figures, he won't allow Des to enter into the Widmore's family because he thinks Des is a failure precisely because he has lived in close proximity to men and followed orders and schedules unsuccessfully.
