*Spoilers* Michael Dawson's character is insufferable

SpoilerFIRST TIME WATCHER

Just finished S2E2, and god, Michael is so damn annoying. I have hated his character kinda from the very start, but god damn, he is so fucking irritating.

The guy has zero common sense or logic. Every time something goes wrong, he just cries, lashes out, and makes the worst possible decision.

Sawyer literally saved his life, took a bullet to the shoulder, and was trying to save Jin. Then the moment Walt gets taken, Michael completely loses it, throws Sawyer out of the raft, and somehow decides it's Sawyer's fault.

I get it—that's his son. Of course he'd be devastated. But grief doesn't magically make every irrational decision reasonable. He constantly picks fights, ignores logic, and acts before thinking. His entire personality at this point feels like repeating, "He's my son!" while blaming everyone around him.

Does he ever become less frustrating, or am I in for more of this? Please no spoilers.
