Loved "I'm spry"!! And he is! People keep not believing him, but he keeps being right.  I think part of it too (also in his testing the bridge) was his belief that part of the power of the numbers was that though bad things happen to those around him, he was safe. |

But we also got the suggestion a few weeks ago, that Walt was somehow the one making everything happen with the power of his mind . . . So . . . when I add it all up . . . I get uh . . . what were those numbers anyhow? I tried to write them down, but I don't think I got all of them. I think I am missing one. I did not tape it. I have: 4 8 15 16 23 42 those are the only numbers I remember. so...if we add them up and divide by number of episodes...(23 eps this season) are we going to get the date Dawn arrives on the island? |

cause that kind of money is real hard to imagine anyone having... I too was impressed with his acting. Yeah, I was just thinking about his acting--playing the character hasn't looked hard because it's easy to think he's just being himself. But unless an actor IS really playing himself (and so many of them do) making it look easy is very hard work. But we don't get to see it until the script forces them to stretch outside it a little bit. I think he's terrific. |

You know, when Charlie was telling him about the heroin, I thought - see Hurley? good has come out of this for a lot of people - Charlie is clean and found Claire, Locke can walk, many good things are happening because of the plane crash - but then they didn't go that way. And I must say I probably wouldn't believe that Hurley had 163 million or whatever either... Yes - Hurely focused totally on the bad. I mean - yes they crashed, but they should all be dead and it is . . . incredible luck, you might say, that they are not dead. I loved how Hurley and the French lady bonded when she actually stopped talking about herself and LISTENED to him, and then agreed with him. He was so terribly in need of some external validation . . . some external agreement that he was not crazy. (And if he wasn't a patient in that hospital, I'll roast my shirt over an open fire and eat it.)  |

OK, so Hurley spent some time in a mental hospital. Sawyer reading "A Wrinkle in Time"; yet another book about a power-mad being controlling the actions of the people around him (IT of CENTRAL Central Intelligence). Hurley owned stock in the box company where Locke worked. The numbers came from a far-off transmission in French. Curiouser and curiouser. Curiouserer and curiouserer! And the numbers were what drew the CFL and crew there and were on the metal hatch thing - which I don't think the CF gang built, I think they found, like they found the radio tower and so on. So, who built them? Who was there before the CF gang? And then, who or what brought them to the island?   ;D Lola |

So, how many people do you think will be playing those numbers in the lottery this week?  |

"She says 'hey.'" Damn it, I love Hurley. "Battery" I am so totally in love with Hurley it isn't even funny! |

cause that kind of money is real hard to imagine anyone having... I too was impressed with his acting. Yes - but I think it is equally hard to believe that Hurley would make such a think up at such a moment. So . . . there ya go again. Things seem to be as you believe them to be - you make your own reality kinda suggestion here? "I believe a lot of things," says Locke. I loved that little cradle. |

Does anyone remember which episode Hurley and Walt played backgammon? I want to figure out what Hurley said about winning... I have a feeling he played it in the mental hospital. Ooooh! I don't remember what he said, but that is a very good idea! Possibly played it with the number guy, eh? |

But the name sounded very familiar to me too. I sounded familiar to me too, but familiar like from something else. For some reason, the X-files is coming to mind . . . . Can't remember!! Brain won't work. |

Time for bed now ... thanks for all the fish.
First time I've watched and been on the board at the same time. Jollys.

I think Hurley worked in the hospital maybe. Could be - I think until we hear the further story all things are possible. But he also said that stuff to the news crew about how he'd caused some problems for his family that he wanted to make up for, so . . . Hmmmmm. |

I loved the ep. Love Hurely and his mom especially. But I do not understand Hurley's name. His name appears to be Hugo Reyes. So where does "Hurley" come in? Did I miss something? I think that's one of those bits of back story we haven't gotten yet. Each time we get a flashback, we get some answers, but not all of them. And we usually get a few more questions, too! Which is how they'll keep this running more than one season, I guess. ;D |

I agree with it fitting him saying he'd put his family through a lot, but I thought at the time he was sensitive to being called crazy because he half thought he was. He seems so damned sane...saner than any of the others really Oh, definitely. But someone can go through a bad patch and come out better on the other side, frankly sometimes better than people that didn't go through the bad stuff. Or, he could have been there because of a mistake. Or, like you said, maybe he worked there. ;D Or . . . . well, could be almost anything! Loved how he yelled at the guy changing the light bulb!! |
