The fathers of Lost

As I was falling asleep last night, having just watched the most recent episode of Lost, something popped into my head. (In addition to the violently bad dreams I had all night.)

I don't know if they're doing this on purpose, but so far many of the characters have had traumatic experiences linked to their fathers. Dig it:

Locke had a long lost father who befriended him and then stole his kidney.
Jack turned in his dad, who was drinking on the surgery-job, and was transporting his dead dad to the US.
Sawyer's dad left killed his mom after a con, an event which shaped his life and turned HIM into a con.
Kate killed her real dad.
Boone and Shannon lost their dad/stepdad in the car accident that injured the woman who would become Jack's wife.
Jin was being forced to be a heavy-hitting muscle man for his wife's dad, and they were presumably escaping Korea on their trip to the US.
Added: Walt's father and his step father both abandoned him.

No matter how you slice it, that's a lot of dad themes.
