at recognizing when he's under attack is he?

First with Ethan and the sling

now Danielle (or whoever) and the gun

:lol2:

One of the things I love about Hurley--and especially Hurley/Charlie scenes together--is the humor that is almost guaranteed to be injected into the scene. I was rolling when the first gunshot struck the tree behind them and they didn't move! It was like the scene in "The Jerk" when Steve Martin had bullets flying around hitting the oil cans behind him. I kept expecting Charlie to yell, "Quick, run away! Somebody is shooting at these trees!!!"

The scene with Hurley and Charlie being shot at in the forest was one of my faves from this episode. They both looked completely stunned, thought it was hilarious!

I want the writers to bring back the funny in their relationship.

Does anyone think that maybe Charlie has some hearing loss? He really couldn't hear the sling that Ethan used to hurl the rock at Jin, but Jin could here it. He also had a delayed reaction to the first gunshot and couldn't tell which direction it came from. Since he was in a rock band he could have damaged his hearing while playing live shows.

Very possible. Those shows can get LOUD! I think one of the guys in the WHO now has hearing loss because of the loud concerts. It could account for his crankiness as well.

I've never been shot at but most people believe it would never happen to them. After the first shot, I would look around and say was that a bullet and then after the second shot I would drop to the ground or run, depends on how quick the scare sets in. I think that's how both of them looked at each other.

Great observation! So true.

Not really, it's possible that Jin's heard a sling before, whereas Charlie hasn't, and I doubt Charlies been fired upon.

It's certainly possible that Charlie's rock god days left him with hearing damage, but that's not what I blame his lack of awareness on when it comes to sensing an attack. If memory serves he was running his mouth quite steadily both times and wasn't paying much attention to anything else.

When someone throws something at you, you think, was that aimed at me? Then it happens again and you question it.

I don't think Charlie ignore it, I think he just didn't comprehend, he was caught up in the moment with Hurley, all this attention was on him.
