| Not necessarily. "The New Man in Charge" clearly refers to Hurley, as Ben uses that phrase prior to the meetup with Walt. Also, we don't know Walt isn't in the afterlife, only that he doesn't move on with that particular group of people. Walt may have moved on with Michael, Susan, Vincent, his grandmother, etc. It may very well be that Walt takes over for Hurley, but it's certainly not definitive. |
