not the haitian...

There is also this bit of info I found about the two new names (linked to Lostpedia) introduced in this episode, both of which connect to the theories the producers/writers perpetuate througout the net:



1. The oh-so-dearly referenced Haitian is named Matthew Abaddon could be interpreted to be the gate keeper, aka. Cerberus (aka smokey):


In Hebrew Abaddon means "destroyer," or "destruction". More precisely, this name comes from the Hebrew root word aleph-bet-daled, which means "lost".


In Job 26:6; Proverbs 15:11 Abaddon means "place of destruction", or "realm of the dead". In Revelation 9:11, it is personified as Abaddon, "Angel of the Abyss". Many biblical scholars believe Abaddon to be Satan or the antichrist. Others argue that is a mistaken view since the angel "Abaddon" possesses the keys to the Abyss into which Satan is hurled or imprisoned, indicating that he serves as Satan's "jailer" and must therefore be someone else.


2. Our newest arrival on the island, George Minkowski, connects to the idea of time travel or lost time:


George Minkowski is the name of the man on the other end of the satellite phone when Jack calls at the end of "Through the Looking Glass". He is also heard in "The Beginning of the End".
"Minkowski" is the name of a German mathematician. The space which is named after him is a hyper-dimensional manifold in which Einstein's equations for special relativity are perfectly solvable.
