My point in that last email, which I never got around to making, was that the Others/the universe/God/the aliens/(whatever) can't possibly hold Hurley and Claire as accountable for the deaths they were involved in as they could/should Kate or Sawyer, etc... You can't really call them "killers," especially in light of all the mention on the island of worthiness/redemption/blahblahblah...
Aside from the damage Charley did to his own life, did he ever really hurt anyone else BEFORE crashing on the island? And, did the Losties ever find out that he was the one who attacked Sun?
I'm finally up-to-date with Seasons 1 and 2, but have only seen the last 4 episodes of Season 3, so there are holes...many holes.

More importantly I really do think there is a kind of weighing of individual moral worth going on. As I said earlier, Whether at one time it was Dharma Initiative doing this (there was definitely a social hierarch going on in that utopia) or whether it's the Others and/or Smokey doing it now, or some other group entirely, I don't know. But I do think it's happening. All the talk of worthiness and lists of more worthy people... It's a definite theme.
On the most important note, HOW CAN CHARLIE BE DEAD???? He was my favorite character and the writers invested so much time and energy in him. It seemed he had the most episodes devoted to him...I could be wrong. Was anyone else waiting for an actual love scene between Charlie and Claire, rather than just the few chaste kisses he got? I feel so cheated.
To me his death, Hurley's triimph, and the future thing at the end were the high points of a kind of mediocre episode. I'm not on the edge of my seat as I was with the last two season enders. Anyone agree with me?
