Um, maybe Dave was on that Deck.....Maybe hes someone who died.Next thing we know Hurley will be saying..."I see dead people"...LMAO

I guess it's possible, another good one I read is that Locke could have been on the deck and that's how he lost the use of his legs...

Doubt it - Again i'm not trying to be rude -- but i really dont think this thread is going anywhere..

You're not a very happy person are you?.....LOL

Lost would come close to shark-jumping if that were true. The show already has enough unrealistic character connections.

I wouldn't say the connections are shark-jumpy... it's meant to show us that these people have been previously connected and chosen from a random group to be put on the plane and crash.... i betcha the pilots of the airplane were in on it.... just happened to lose contact and then they went how many hours off course???? Could be coincidence... but i hope not :)

Actually, I thought from the dialogue with the therapist that one of the porch people was a friend named Dave. But I haven't rewatched the episode and nobody else mentioned it, so I may have misinterpreted.

If Hurley creates an imaginary friend after a traumatic incident, it seems logical to me that he would invest that friend wih the name, look and characteristics of one of those lost (particularly if the real Dave had been a friend) rather than dream up an individual out of whole cloth. On the other hand, the logical inconsistencies of recreating a real person might make the illusion more difficult to sustain, even in a schizophrenic state.

I had the same thought. His friend Dave died in the deck collapse and it is the same friend that fought in the Gulf War in the 104th Airbourne that Hurley mentioned in Season One.

That would make sense - that his imaginary person would take the form of someone he felt he killed. The guilt factor and seeing the ghost of the person.

You're not a very happy person are you?.....LOL
No i'm rather happy - its just you are more than annoying with this pointless threads and all these 'LOL's and 'LMAO's at things that are... less than funny.

Well then stop wasting your time responding.....I can post whatever I want......go be a moderator if you are that concerned about it.

I'm not 'that concerned' .. to be honest i couldnt care less i just think these threads are pointless and should be considered as spam.

First, please don't get personal. A person can disagree to their hearts content, but psychoanalysis on a message board isn't really helpful. It usually just leads to unpleasant personal responses. Just deal with the post, not the poster. Understand?

No i'm rather happy - its just you are more than annoying with this pointless threads and all these 'LOL's and 'LMAO's at things that are... less than funny.

Second, this post is rude. It's much better to report a post that you feel is baiting than to respond in kind. Reporting a post won't get you points, but a rude response might.

Well then stop wasting your time responding.....I can post whatever I want......go be a moderator if you are that concerned about it.

Again, better to report a rude post that to respond in kind. Fighting in a thread is extremely distracting to those who wish to participate. Please stay on topic and report rude posts rather than responding.

Actually.. rude responses with out content are pointless and should be considered spam. If you don't have anything constructive to add to a post, it is probably in your best interest to simply not reply to it. It is a waste of time for us who are reading through the threads to read things that do not advance a thread in any way. People will read the thread and if it does not merit responses it will simply die off.

No i'm rather happy - its just you are more than annoying with this pointless threads and all these 'LOL's and 'LMAO's at things that are... less than funny.
your posts are less than funny and are bordering on rude.
you are not here to judge the other posters or their comments.

Doubt it - Again i'm not trying to be rude -- but i really dont think this thread is going anywhere..
see above. you are being rude.
you need to stop now.

Back to the topic... I saw this thread and thought this was a great possibility. Dave seems like a witty, fun-loving character (except when he's pushing the eating or cliff-jumping). It would make sense that he'd be haunting Hurley's mind if he was someone Hurley cared about and accidentally killed. It opens the opportunity to bring back the character in flashbacks before the accident. If the writers didn't plan it, they should have.

We know from Lost that it is highly suspicious that 2 deaths were mentioned but we don't know who. With everyone having one degree of separation, even the idea of Locke being on the deck is not too far-fetched.

The problem I have with Locke being on the deck is, he was such an odd duck, I can't imagine anyone from Hurley's circles inviting him to a party.

Actually I was thinking that Dave could be a composite of the 2 people that died from the deck accident. The fact that he wanted Hurley to eat himself to death and was in essence punishing Hurley would be something that Hurley would feel the two people in the accident would have the right to do to him.Dave was seeking vengence on behalf of the two people that died. (not that he was a ghost or anything -- just someone Hurley created to punish him for being bad).

The thing is I think the island was using Dave in pretty much the same way -- to draw Hurley to his death by having him jump over the cliff.

No i'm rather happy - its just you are more than annoying with this pointless threads and all these 'LOL's and 'LMAO's at things that are... less than funny.

Moderators, please dont get mad for this....but I feel that this thread actually did go somewhere.....I just want to say that I try my best not to post pointless threads. We all have our moments. I'm not trying to start anything.

Thanks,

This is exactly what was running through my mind when I posted this thread!

Lost would come close to shark-jumping if that were true. The show already has enough unrealistic character connections.

I'm just not sure how anything on this show could be unrealistic within the parameters of the story. I mean, we know by now that everyone on the island is there for a reason -- and that there are enormous inter-connections between them pre-island (even though they often don't know). So why is it so far-fetched to think Locke was on the deck? If that were true, obviously it would be true for a reason.

The problem I have with Locke being on the deck is, he was such an odd duck, I can't imagine anyone from Hurley's circles inviting him to a party.

I thought the same thing! At first...

But then I thought about how we see Locke doing a variety of jobs. Perhaps Locke was not an invited guest at the party-of-falling-deck-doom, but was working there cleaning or serving.

Regarding the original topic of the thread: No, I don't think Dave died in the deck accident, because I don't believe Dave was ever real at all. The moment I heard his version of Hurley's dude-esque style of banter I knew he was imaginary.

I wouldn't say the connections are shark-jumpy... it's meant to show us that these people have been previously connected and chosen from a random group to be put on the plane and crash.... i betcha the pilots of the airplane were in on it.... just happened to lose contact and then they went how many hours off course????

Except that Dave ISN'T REAL!
