I think Charlie's alive and Hugo is having a meltdown cause he believe Charlie dies. Something happen after Charlie had his hand up to the "window" and it was like he was being pulled toward the window that had been blown open by the hand gernade, and I sense it might be the ghost/spirit of Elko. Then again the other side of the coin is that Charlie replaces Dave.

this was the last episode where dominic was listed as a regular cast member, so I think he is dead, but the good thing about lost is that being dead doesn't mean you are out of a job. Flashbacks and visions give a bit of job security. lol

Maybe it is the island, trying to tell Hurley he needs to go back, gah, I don't know, it's too much for me to think about.

In the hallucination in the interrogation room at the police station, wasn't that swimming figure wearing the same kind of hoodie that charlie wore in Season One?

And the inmate at the asylum who pointed Charlie out to Hurley didn't actually look where he was pointing. He had his head down and sort of turned away like he was afraid to look. Perhaps he was also there because he was "seeing things."

"Whoa!" she said. "Cry 'Havoc!' And let loose the dogs of war!"
And, like Banquo's ghost, they just won't go away.

Definitley Charlie... he had his hood up too, doesn't that mean he is up to no good?

He was there but he wasn't there. Prolly hanging out. Came back to earth to watch Eli Stone.

i have two theories...one is that hurley just imagined the crazy dude pointing charlie out to him...the other is that the crazy dude was really pointing someone out, but it wasn't charlie, but maybe a person similar to the black guy earlier in the episode keeping an eye on Hurley

I just read one of those watch with kristen things where she said that the hallucination in the police station was definitely charlie swimming up to the window (it was dominic!) and this time his hand says "THEY NEED YOU"

instead of "not penny's boat"

And don't forget Hurley had already seen Charlie in that convience store when he originally freaked out after seeing him . Charlie is there in spirit or whatever . My question is " why or how is Hurley there in the states in the flash forward if he went with the not getting rescued group ?

I was pondering the same question myself when the group split up. Hope we'll get answers soon but of course that'll led to more questions, haha.
