Too bad Walt doesn't have a purple crayon.

Or does he? OMG I love that book.
Or does he?
Indeed. Indeed.
Thank god for the crayon smugglers.
Perhaps Walt has a set of crayons. You know, the really big one with all the colors. Hence the lush tropical setting.
I think you can't judge whether Charlie's resurrection was a cop-out or not until we see what happens next. Also just because we love it when Tim & Joss kill our beloved characters doesn't mean that everyone has to do it. I believe the writers were trying to indicate it was a Craphole Island Miracle but maybe they didn't spell it out clearly enough for people. I personally felt like I was put through the emotional wringer enough (almost as much as if Charlie had stayed dead) to be relieved when he came back and not begrudge the writers my pain. Also, there is a fascinating post on TWOP [link] shedding some light on how long people can go without breathing or be seemingly dead.

I wondered about that myself. I know if you drown in extremely cold water, there's less chance of brain damage after resuccitation because of the way the cold slows all body functions down. But, still. He didn't drown, he was hung. And maybe Jack finally wanted something bad enough, the island gave it to him. Just like Locke got to walk, Jack finally got to "save" someone who had died.

We'll know this for sure when it starts snowing in the final episode, and we pull back to see Walt sitting in his living room, staring into a snowglobe.
Or if we see Suzanne Pleshette listed in the credits for the final episode.
