Talk:Dave (Hurley's friend)
From Lostpedia
Hmm... getting a bit too meta when the article title is "imaginary dave" and a theory is "figment of hurley's imagination". Hurley imagined an imagined dude? Just a thought. Then again, as Dave is probably already taken as an article name, can't think of a better one either. --skks 23:00, 5 April 2006 (PDT)
it is possible to print digitally retouched photos to polaroid, see this.

I think that pointing out his use of Spanish in the hospital and not on the island is unimportant. He said that it was Mexican Food night at the hospital that day, hence the use of the Spanish. Do we really need to make it seem like the Spanish was a big deal? Zombiebomb 14:58, 10 May 2006 (PDT)

Dave's explanation
- The text (and details) of Dave's explanation to Hurley of what is really going on is not consistent between this article and that in Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute. Also Dave is completely not mentioned in the Breakthroughs article (He claims that if you die on the island, you have a breakthrough and wake up). --Santa 11:06, 14 May 2006 (PDT)
Rename
Because Dave can't reeaally be called Hurley's friend (he didn't even exist, for one), I propose it be renamed to Dave (character) or something similar. --SilvaStorm
- I don't know, it's already descriptive enough to be specific, until Hurley makes another friend named Dave. If we were going to change it to anything, I'd vote for Imaginary Dave, or some such, but it seems fine for now.-BearDog 16:58, 27 November 2006 (PST)
- Don't rename - again, the parenthesis is to be used only to the extent that it specifies a disambiguation; anything more detailed belongs in the article body, and not the article title. IMHO this includes information such as: "friend-that-is-actually-imaginary". -- Contrib¯ _Santa_ ¯ Talk 00:19, 3 December 2006 (PST)
- Rename - Dave isnt really Hurleys friend, it is hurley's mind. Character makes more sence ZEKE?(>
- Don't rename Imaginary friends are still friends to people. Anyway, how many Dave (characters) do we have. -- Plkrtn talk contribs email 09:13, 3 December 2006 (PST)
- Don't rename this article He is still Hurley's friend even if he is imaginary. Besides,there are enough Daves and Davids already, all we need is another one to mess it up. There are about 3 Daves/Davids on the show. With about 10 more actors or writers with the name David. Plus we already an episode named Dave. I think the current name is fine, as it is specific.--Mr.Leaf 15:23, 9 December 2006 (PST)
- Dont Rename As above --lewisg 15:25, 9 December 2006 (PST)
- Don't Rename-- 16:36, 12 December 2006 (PST)

It's the monster
I think that hospital Dave was a figment of Hurley's imagination, but Island Dave was the monster. I have no idea why the monster was trying to get Hurley to kill himself, but then i don't know why the monster does anything period.
- Every condition and possibility about visions and imaginations on the island is now updated, so yes this is possible. But one thing about this; if the monster or Jacob's Nemesis wanted Hurley to die, they would not have required Dave's vision. The monster could just kill him.Paintbox 19:22, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Rename
- Rename: The article sounds in my ear boring and Incomplete and have nothing to do with the meaning of the article--Wilbraham Williams 09:16, 26 May 2007 (PDT)
- I don't understand why you say it has "nothing to do with the meaning of the article". Also, I can't see any advantage to the proposed change to the disambiguation part. -- Cheers (talk) 10:14, 26 May 2007 (PDT)
Possible Acronym
While rewatching season 2 the other day i was on the episode Dave and it hit me that D.A.V.E could possibly stand for Don't Alter the Valenzetti Equation. User_talk:KillerR (talk)
Imagination
Since Hurley's friend has been confirmed to be imaginary by the writers we can now presume that all characters who are alone, or experience things by themselves, could be imagining what takes places, for example, when Ben first leaves the boundary of the sonic barrier and hears whispers, or when Jack sees his father or when others see Walt, or not? I must say that I am disappointed by this explanation of Dave. - 03:28, 17 August 2007 (PDT)
Redirection
I think Dave should redirect to the episode and not the person. The person isn't that important, however the episode is. Bringlibbyandcharlieback Talk Contribs 05:54, 30 June 2008 (PDT)
I think most people who type in Dave in the search box do so expecting the episode. See also the precedent set by The Incident and Namaste --LeoChris 06:19, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
The Box
Sometime in season 3 Ben mentions to Locke about 'the box'. He says to Locke something along the lines of "what if I told you that on this island there was a box, and if you imagined something inside it, when you opened it up, there it would be." This is interesting because Hurley imagined Dave on the island, and in the mental institute,after Hurley told Leonard about the use of the numbers in the lottery,Leonard becomes coherent and frantically warns Hurley about the danger of the numbers. Leonard yells out to Hurley "You've opened the box!". Maybe the island is the box? , and the numbers have a deeper connection with the island than we think.--NZlostfan 07:15, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
