LOST Theory Thursday

I took last week off, but am back with some interesting tidbit from someone who's smarter than me. Or, at least, they have more time. This item was pointed out in regards to last week's episode where the castaways were trying to determine if a newcomer, Henry Gale, was an "Other" or if he was another victim of the island of crashed souls.

Henry Gale is from Wizard of Oz and that is the name of Dorothy's uncle. The wizard uses a hot air balloon as a method of travel in Oz. Coincidence?

Seems to me that Sayid and crew definitely have an "Other" on their hands. Although, Gale wouldn't be the first person on that island to have connections to fictional or historical figures. (Locke, Rosseau, etc.) But Henry does seem to have too many.
