The producers have said that once someone dies on LOST they are dead. Period! So Charlie is dead. My question would be - was he a hallucination of Hurley's, or was he just like Dave, Christian, Eko's brother Yemi, etc that the "island" would manifest on the island (
by the island?)? I am voting for manifestation, since another guy at the institution saw Charlie as well. The island wants them back!
So does Hurley feel bad just for not trusting Jack, or do you think that by Hurley going with Locke it inspired others to join him (thus splitting the group) and making something horrible happen.
And theres LOTS of meaning behind the "lawyer's" name - Matthew Abbaddon.
Oh yeah, I'm a LOST geek. Message boards, LOST experience games....
If you ever want to chat LOST a whole lot, you should check out
thefuselage.com. I could tell you who the Oceanic 6 are (spoilers have been released) but I don't want to spoil it for people on here. The Fuselage has a whole spoilers section!
