could the funeral have been Hurley's? It would make sense that it was unattended.
Why does that make sense? Everyone likes Hurley.
Wasn't the funeral in an inner-city-type setting? Economically depressed, to use the lingo? Say after Hurley came back, spent some time in the psych. hospital, after he got out maybe his family didn't want anything to do with him because he was "crazy." And if he didn't really have his lottery fortune any more, he'd be living in a poor part of town. Maybe he was friendless because he avoided people because everywhere he looked, he saw Charlie, telling him to go back to the island.
Everyone likes Hurley NOW, but we don't know what happens in the future.
As for the other 5 Losties, and why they wouldn't have been at Hurley's funeral -- it looks like only Jack knew about it in time. Or perhaps the other 3 knew, but since we don't know who they are, they might not have been able to get to the funeral (if Sun and Jin, or Claire, went back home, for instance) and/or didn't want to go.
When asked about the departed one Jack said neither family nor friend. That indicated to me someone he didn't get along with on the island.
My first guess was the dead guy was Michael.
I noticed Harold Perrineau was back in the credits.
I did too - and we didn't see him in the episode at all, did we?
And ABC is putting Lost up On Demand for comcast subscribers.
I note that Locke was a likely candidate to have no family or friends, and the one most likely to pine for the fjordsisland if he was cut off from it.
I can't see Hurley's mom not coming to his funeral. And Kate wouldn't say "Why would I go?" about Hurley's funeral.
And Kate wouldn't say "Why would I go?" about Hurley's funeral.
Thanks, -t. I knew someone had made a comment like that, and that's what pinged me as it being unlikely to be Hurley.
Unless
something happens in the meantime. Why does Hurley find it so necessary to apologize for going with Locke, after all this time? What happens? Is there a huge, unforgivable betrayal in his future?
Still, though, Jack seems to still be okay with him, so he wouldn't call him neither friend nor family.
I'm wondering whether all of our POVs will be from people who got off the island. . . I mean, will they give us a POV from on the island? Or will they want to keep it under their hat whether anyone is left alive there.
