Numbers: Best episode I've seen so far I think.
Review: This was awesome. The seriousness and comedy were perfectly balanced in this great episode filled with mystery and action(not to mention a fantastic cliffhanger) and storyline of course. This is what Lost is about. I look forward to more episodes like this.
Best character of ep: Leonard.
Worst character of ep: NONE.
Primary Storyline: Michael's raft is starting to get ready, but it still needs a radio to contact someone out there. Sayid of course has easily built one out of some wire and buttons(or probably found it somewhere), but it's missing a battery. Hurley remembers that Rousseau(the deranged French woman from "Solitary") had batteries, but Sayid refuses to take anyone back there. Hurley's interest in the matter intensifies when he discovers that among Rousseau's stolen papers, there are certain numbers which he is familiar with. He decides to remember everything Sayid ever said about her location and steals most of the papers and then goes off to find her alone. This worries everyone and Jack, Sayid and Charlie go after him and catch up with him. An adventure through the jungle ensues and everybody notice that Hurley seems different, more serious and determined than ever. After a long trip(which included classical falling bridges, gunshots and explosions), Hurley finds Rousseau and asks about the meaning of the Numbers. Rousseau doesn't know much. She says that her expedition picked up the Numbers and followed them to the Island. Both confirm that the Numbers are cursed. Later, Hurley returns to the others with the battery which Jack gives to Michael. At the same time, the Numbers are seen on the Hatch.
Secondary Storyline: Hurley wins 156 million dollars when playing a lottery with the Numbers. However, shortly after that he is hit with bad luck. His grandpa dies, his brother's wife becomes a lesbian and the house he was going to give to his super-Catholic mom burns down and he is arrested, mistook for a drug smuggler. Later, Hurley becomes the head of several companies and effectively a millionaire, but the bad luck continues to severely hit him. Hurley decides to return to a mental hospital he was before the lottery(cos he ate too much) and asks Leonard, a deranged guy who keeps repeating the numbers what is the significance of the numbers and tells him that he used the Numbers to win a lottery. Leonard switches into the real world and yells at him that he is cursed and that his answers are in Kalgoorlie, Australia. Hurley goes there and finds out that Leonard and a guy named Sam Toomey picked up the Numbers on a radio when they served the military. Sam became inflicted with the curse when he used the Numbers to win a bean can... thing. Leonard went insane and Toomey killed himself to stop the curse. His wife, who survived the Numbers doesn't believe in them. Hurley decides to return to Los Angeles on Oceanic Flight 815.
Creepiest thing in the episode: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 on the Hatch.
Coolest thing in the episode: Colonel Hurley Kurtz.
