LOST Revisited: 6-7 “Dr. Linus”

Meanwhile, Hurley wakes up, and man, is it good to see him and Jack again. I am ridiculously happy to see any Lostaway who isn’t dead, evil, or suicidal at this point. Hurley actively tries to lead Jack away from the Temple. Jacob gave him a warning, after all. As they argue, Richard “Batmanuel” Alpert finds them, which blows their minds. I might be wrong here, but I think Hurley and Jack have only ever seen him in the 70’s. I don’t think they’ve ever seen him in the present before. And where has he been? “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” You know, at this point I think Hurley and Jack are a pretty receptive audience for crazy stories.
