    • Henry's name is a reference to Dorothy's uncle in the Wizard of Oz.
    • Locke gives him The Brothers Karamazov to read, a tale of patricide and fraternal conflict (see Appearance of Literary Works).
    • "Thomas" comes from the Greek word "twin."
    • A Lost tie-in novel, "Bad Twin", is set to be published in May (around sweeps time). According to the publisher's description[1], the book is about a private detective looking into "the disappearance of one of a pair of twins, adult scions of a rich but tragedy-prone family." We know that Henry Gale is wealthy; perhaps he was looking for Thomas? Even more speculative, could their father be Alvar Hanso?
    • The mural in the bunker is similar to Thomas's artwork, suggesting a connection to the island.
    • Perhaps the show's writers are delaying the revelation of Henry's presence to Claire, who perhaps met him and could recognize him, until a later episode.
    • In the diary at the official Lost website, the fictitious author (who apparently lives among the plane survivors) refers to Henry as his "brother."
  • We know that the writers have used pseudonyms for characters sent from the others to infiltrate the Flight 815 camps. The Oceanic Air website used the anagram "other man" in a puzzle to identify Ethan Rom. Could Henry Gale also be an anagram? Here are a few examples of what the anagram could be:
    • Anagram of his name... Angry Heel
    • General Hy
    • Gen. Harley
  • Anagram of 'Henry Gale Minnesota'
    • See an Other man lying
    • See another man lying (variation of above anagram)
    • Insanely Hatemonger
  • Gale has attempted to start a feud between Locke and Jack by telling Locke he appears to be in Jack's shadow. Later, Locke got angry enough to throw hatch inventory around just outside the armory where Gale is being held.
  • Gale is the "he" that Zeke refers to when arguing with Ethan about the list. (Along this line, the Oz reference may be a hint that Gale is "the man behind the curtain".)
  • Henry Gale is an evil genius and the leader of the Others, which Mr. Eko somehow seems to sense as he apologizes to Gale for killing two others on his first night on the island.
  • Gale is an Other in training.
  • Henry Gale is Alvar Hanso. He looks a lot like the shadowy figure in the training video. Also the Hanso foundation is know to be involved in life extension. So while Alvar Hanso should be a lot older than Henry Gale, he may have been life extended. This might explain why he is so smart and good at manipulating Locke and Jack.
