Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I think he's just trying to hold on to something so he feels connected. Before the crash he was "alone" in the world - no one to care for and no one to care for him (in the way that he wanted). I think through Claire he has a chance to be a part of something special.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Claire also told Charlie in an earlier episode (I think White Rabbit) that he was the only one who would really look at her, so she liked talking to him. The Moth made it clear that feeling important and needed is important to Charlie, so he probably gets a lot out of the relationship too.

They've really done a good job of making him a very consistent character throughout the series so far, including his flashback story. He's always been the neediest character on the island, the one who's just begging to hook up with someone, anyone, in any way, be it romantic (first Shannon, then after the fishing debacle, he seemed to think about Kate, leading to the snarky comments about her and Jack having private jokes already, and now Claire, who seems to be open to the possibility), or buddy-buddy, with Hurley and Jack, or mentor-ish, with Locke. As for his flashbacks, I got the impression that he reached for his brother's heroin just so he could share something with the brother he loved, since the music no longer connected them.

I wanna give him a hug - make him feel better... I claim Charlie in the name of beathenism! All other unworthies better get out of my way!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

. There was some word with a prominent H in it, and when she said that one word I was like, "Oh look, now we are in Sarajevo!"

Skipped to say that Mira Furlen is from the former Yugoslavia. Unless someone else has already said this.

Hurley is playing the Luther Billis role from South Pacific. It worked for Ray Walston.

Just, please JJ, don't give us Hurley and Charlie in grass skirts, doing the hula.

All is well that ends in pizza.

If someone wanted Hurley to put on a grass skirt, I hope he'd roll his eyes and say "dude! No."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Just, please JJ, don't give us Hurley and Charlie in grass skirts, doing the hula.

Holy shit. They are Timon and Pumbaa.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Hi, lunda! Have we seen you around here before?

Put me in the liking-Hurley-a-lot camp. Our introduction to him was when Jack recruited him to protect Claire, and I think he's proven himself to be kind and helpful many times over by now, so he definitely doesn't ping me as only there for comic relief. And I adore his friendship with Charlie; that fishing scene is priceless.
