That seems to be the case. If I completely isolate the circuit and use charged capacitors as the power source, I can no longer light the bulb by touching only the base, I can by touching the base and positive capacitor lead, though.
Well at first glance of the values I'd guess that all of the currents are going to be somewhere between very high and holy-cow!
AC RLC circuits are solved similarly to resistive DC circuits.
Find the impedance of each component, and do typical series and parallel additions.

I've built a Darlington pair from 2N2222 NPN transistors on my breadboard, and I find that just my touching of the base lead in the circuit cascades both transistors and let's current flow in the circuit. What's causing this? See the video below for details.
