If there’s one (for lack of a better word) constant on Lost, it’s main characters with serious daddy issues. Whether it’s a father stealing a child’s kidney, running off for years on end, or just living life in a drunken haze, fathers on Lost have been villified to no end.
But on tonight’s episode of Lost, The Variable, we met a (again, for lack of a better word) variable to the forumla. Meet Daniel Faraday. He’s a thirty-something physicist and professor at Oxford with possible moral and ethical issues when it comes to human experimentation. He’s travelled through time, likes redheads and long walks through the jungle. He has possible mental issues (but no one’s perfect). He wants to make the island world a better place.
Oh, and he has mommy issues.
