I feel like Michael is vastly underrated in the show.

Ultimately, his story could have been better realized, but as a character it makes sense that he spent two seasons WAAAAAALTing and trying to actually make a raft to get off the island, which is more than a lot of characters had tried doing in the first season. Yeah, he sowed a lot of discord, but he felt like a real dude more than most of the characters on the island. His betrayal and murder of Ana Lucia makes sense that Walt is kidnapped and he's willing to do anything for him, especially given the insanity of the island already.

It sucks that Walt ends up in a mental institution, yeah. And frankly, his story could have ended there, but I felt his post-leave story was good. He was a man wracked with guilt, unable to escape it, and eventually came to terms with wanting to atone for what he did, since he couldn't live with himself after his son refused to talk with him.

I dunno, I get people finding Michael annoying, but I felt he was more real than most people in the show and that's why I gravitated towards him. He just wanted to leave this hellscape with his kid. That's easy and relatable.
