I know the character of Desmond was beloved amongst the fans of LOST. I liked him well enough when he was first introduced in Season 2. However, as the series went on, I found myself disliking him more and more. I was actually rooting for Charles Widmore to take him out. I hated that Desmond basically became all about Penny. Penny this, Penny that, Penny, Penny, Penny. I hated Penny on principle.
