Just wait, Gus. I'm all full of whacked out theories and philosophies. I'm brewing up a long, long post about various themes in Lost. I'll probably post it in my lj in the next couple days.
Zombies! Hyena people! Snyder!
Student ,'Touched'
Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I like the theory too, Sail, but what do you see as Sun's, Jin's, and Hurley's calls? Sun's could be accepting her decision to stay with Jin, but I don't know what Jin's would be, and all Hurley said about going was "I go where the boar is."

Think of the Call as the acceptance of a burden. Sun's burden is to bring Jin back to being a loving husband and not a mafioso. Jin's is to become what Sun needs him to be, a truly loving husband. We haven't seen Jin's story yet (if we do), only Sun's. Hurley...he's one of the travelling companions of the hero(s). Just like the Scoobies were Buffy's companions on her hero's journey after she fully accepted her call in "Prophecy Girl."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hurley's burden is attempting to understand that all Asian people aren't Chinese.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Really liking this. I might phrase it a little differently, something involving "courage" and "convictions", but that is a quibble.
Hurley is Herald. He announces challenges.

Not always. Who could forget Walt's immortal line, "The pregnant lady fell down!"?

Ok. Both camps have a herald, now.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
So far Hurley has only been comic relief. Perhaps he has Herald in his future.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Hark the Hurley?

OK, you guys. I will have to go back over the episodes so far and catalog my evidence. I have the impression Hurly is always announcing things. The water is running out. We're out of food. Kate and Dr. Tatoo are in wuv. This guy is bleeding to death t faint .
The comedic element is there. It makes the announcements more palatable.
