I do think she has recovered from her illness and it would be interesting to one day find out her journey and to see how she recovered..perhaps we'll find out sometime in S4 no doubt.  ..im also interested to see exactly how Hurlkey recovered..i know we were told but i would like to witness it for myself..im sure theres more interesting aspects in there. |
I no Hurley was at the hospital because he had "Dave", but wasn't his aim also to lose weight...i think he may have failed that goal...

I just rememberd that Artzt (sp?) said something to Hurley at the end of S1 along the lines of "some of us have lost weight since we crashed, but not you"
What is that telling us? Does it mean that whatever he eats, he stays the same weight? A bit like his "self image" remains the same whatever happens. In other words he imagines the whole thing. Its not a real experience. In a way this is the plot of "Dave" all over again. What we see is not real. Its all in Hurleys mind. :supr:

See, i dont think we should read too much into 'Dave' episode as meaing that everything that Hurley see's is imaginery.. personally i think 'Dave' has to be looked at in isolation, it was a way of making tangible the concept of the subconcious and the power that it holds in the real world..and therefore the
heightened/increased power that it holds on the island. [Almost] everyone has now had visions/dreams and yet we dont readily question the validity of
their interpretations. I think that to Hurley 'Dave' was very much real, in that it was a representation of his inner-self..however everything that happened in his past i think is real, i dont think that it's merely down to his interpretation of events..same goes for all of the losties in that their 'flashbacks' are objective and not subjective. Yes the flashbacks are through their eye's..but i also think that the flashbacks represent a 'world-view' of what actually happened. [sorry kinda went a bit off topic there].
The thing with this Dave character is that although he was in Hurleys 'mind'..he was still real in that Dave was just his subconcious but represented at an
extreme level. In my view each of the losties have their own 'Dave' in that they each have a 'subconcious' - it's just that their subconcious, their inner-thoughts have not been depicted/manifested in this way because they were believed to have been sound of mind [except maybe Libby]. Yet, we could easily have seen the 'Dave' version of Locke's subconcious..same with Jack and all of them as im sure they all had their own inner thoughts, fears, feelings and parts of them who didnt want to let go in certain situations [im thinking Locke with Anthony, Sawyer with the letter etc]..so basically they all have a 'Dave'..Hurleys was represented as an actual person because
he believed 'Dave' to actually be a real person and as seperate from himself - thus he was believed to have been "crazy".
So basically i still believe that Hurleys account is as credible as any of theirs..the only difference is that he has had a stage whereby he was unable to seperate conciusness from subconciousness...or rather he was unable to realise that [for a time] that Dave was him [as in 'Dave' was Hurley].
So back to the initial point - i dont feel that Hurley is imagining his weight or anything like that.
