The Lostie-a-Day-a-Thon : [link]

"Okay... you see, we did crash...but it was on this crazy island. And we waited for rescue and there wasn't any rescue. And there was a smoke monster. And then there were other people on the island; we called them the Others. And they started attacking us. And we found some hatches and there was a button you had to press every 108 minutes or...well, I was never really clear on that. But, the others didn't have anything to do with the hatches; that was the DHARMA Initiative. They were all dead, the Others killed them, and now they're trying to kill us. And then we teamed up with the Others, because some worse people were coming on a freighter. Desmond's girlfriend's father sent them to kill us. So, we stole their helicopter, and we flew to their freighter, and it blew up, and we couldn't go back to the island, because it had disappeared. So then we crashed into the ocean, and we floated there for awhile until a boat came and picked us up. And by then there were six of us. That part was true. But the rest of the people who were on that plane... they're still on the island."

Well, we all know Lost can be convuluted, bizarre, improbable, complex, and down-right nonsensical. Despite the odd furrowed brow and scratching of the chin, a lot of Losties go about their strange little plots and subplots barely batting an eye. The audience, wishing someone might address glaringly peculiar events, screams and fist-shakes at their television sets. Duuuuuude, WTF IS GOING ON??!11!!?

That, my friends, is where Hurley comes in. God bless.

Hurley is the everyman. Well, Hurley is the everyman who plays chess with ghosts and won the lottery with cursed numbers and has imaginary Tyler-Durden-esque friends and Cheech Marin for a dad. TOTALLY NORMAL.

The odd thing is, depsite Hugo's (and I can't call him Hugo without hearing Locke's voice) seemingly strange existence, he is still the most relatable character on the the show. He takes things in stride, but also asks the questions any normal person might in such a situation. He can strip down the mumbo jumbo and bullshit, delivering something reminiscent of a grade 10 giving an oral presentation on a book they've only read the Cole's notes for. I say that in the best way possible, mind you.

Basically, I've been in love with Hurley (or Furley or Fargo, as my mum keeps insisting on calling him) since season 1. There seem to be very few true Hurley-haters in the world, and for good reason. The dude is adorable, and my life won't be complete until I get a Jorge-Hug.

Although Hurley's attempts at romance often ends tragically (I'm still incredibly pissed that Libby got knocked off, even if her actress had a DUI or something.) Still, his bromances are the most hilarious (and even touching) on the show. Hurley/Charlie? Hurley/Miles? Hurley/Sawyer? TOTAL D'AWW.

Hurley is hilarious, plain and simple. When you think of the quirkiest, funniest scenes on Lost, how many involve Hugo? Whiffing hot-pockets at Ben or offering him chocolate, admitting defeat to Pierre Chang, aspiring to write the Ewoks out of Star Wars, I heart my shih-tzu... major, major lolz.

Here's to Hurley. A funny fellow, but with a surprisingly deep and dark past, and a heightened sense of paranoia (for fairly good reasons.) He is the 'everyman' voice, he is the humour... but, they never sacrifice his character for that. He can be tragic, compelling, and downright frightening in the right circumstances. That's, like, totally awesome dude.

I've just made it through Season 1 of Lost and Hurley is my favorite character. :) He's both the everyman and utterly crazy (and I use the word in a good sense) at the same time, I don't even know how it's possible. Awesomeness, dude!

Not reading your description because I just started Lost and don't want anything to be spoiled for me, but Hurley is awesome.
