1. Above: Hugo fishes in “Walkabout” (1x04)

    Middle: the Japanese god Ebisu, associated with fishing, good fortune, and who is literally a “kitchen god.” He is portly, smiling, carries a fishing implement, and has a red fish (sea bream or red snapper) on his stringer (more on Ebisu here.)

    Bottom: the red fish caught in Hugo and Charlie’s fishing session in 1x04.

  3. From a Sept 2011 Higher Tourism interview with Jorge Garcia, on “letting go” of Hurley:

    JL - So you are ready to say good-bye?

    JG - To Hurley? I have to be. I don’t have a choice in the matter so I guess it’s kinda…I don’t know how to do it actually. There is going to have to be this moment where I have to put him to bed and say there is an ending to the chapter and on to the next adventure. I don’t know if there should be a ceremony about it but I think I am going to miss him …

    So say we all.

     
  4. Metanoia (1x05, “White Rabbit”)
    [T]he Greek word μετάνοια (metanoia), “after/behind one’s mind” … means: ‘to think differently after’. Metanoia is therefore primarily … a change of mind accompanied by regret and change of conduct, “change of mind and heart”, or, “change of consciousness”.

    [Sun walks stealthily through the jungle. She stops and pulls out the pregnancy test. Suddenly Hurley appears holding a partially eaten Apollo bar. Sun quickly hides the test behind her back.]
HURLEY: Hey, Sun. Look what I found in the middle of the jungle. It’s not even melted or nothing. Crazy, huh? You want to split it?
SUN: No. No, thank you. I was just heading to the beach.
HURLEY: Okay, well, later, dude.

(from “The Whole Truth,” 2x16)

In this scene, everything these two people say to each other is a lie.
