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

Holy shit. They

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.

Ooh, 1495. I think we have a delurk! Welcome, lunda.
So, do you suppose Danielle had the electro-rack already made, y'know, just in case, or did she rush home and throw one together after clubbing Sayid? (um, assuming it was her, anyway) Coz, even with 16 years of boredom, not sure torture devices would be on the list of stuff to have laying around. Also, nice to see that she's got enough extra electricity to run torture devices.
