CHARLIE & HURLEY
Whoda thunk the heroin-addicted rocker would mesh with the funny, overweight lotto winner? Yet Charlie found a confidant in Hurley — who, among other things, helped care for Aaron and served as a shoulder for the drug-plagued castaway to lean on. Soon, the duo became as inseparable as, well, Hurley and an Apollo bar. That is, until the very end, when Charlie tragically rebuked his pal before meeting his imminent demise in the Looking Glass station: ''Catch up with you later. Just remember I love you, man.'' We know who was sobbing after watching that final exchange of brotherly love: Everybody. —Kate Ward
