I haven't really thought much about it really but has anyone else had thoughts on the fact that Hurley's special-ness is the same as human MIB - the ability to interact with (talk to and see) the dead, and how, as smokie, MIB can now interact with the dead in a different way - imprinting himself on dead bodies.

I noticed this, too, as well as a crucial difference: Hurley can't stand to lie, and in this he resembles Jacob.
