Uncharted Island

Some people were trying to refute the claim that Hurley only hallucinated Charlie by saying that he could’ve also hallucinated the guy who pointed out that Charlie was staring at him.

Some other people had helpfully pointed out that the guy was the same patient he was playing Connect Four against at the beginning of the episode.

Watching the repeat of the episode tonight, I would like to add to the argument, perhaps to settle it. Hurley couldn’t have been hallucinating the other patient the way he supposedly hallucinated Dave. The nurse who gave Hurley his pills also gave pills and spoke to the other patient as Hurley was walking over to talk to his visitor, the guy who claimed to work for Oceanic Airlines.

So if Hurley wasn’t hallucinating the other patient, and the other patient also saw Charlie, then Charlie was more than just a hallucination.
