The title for the episode " The Man Behind the Curtain" is a reference to the ruler of Emerald City (the titular Wizard) hiding behind a curtain (in the movie version), projecting a much greater image of himself unseen. In " Flashes Before Your Eyes", during Desmond's flashback, a man in red shoes is crushed by falling scaffolding and his legs are sticking out from the wreck, similar to a shot in the film of the Wicked Witch of the East's legs with the ruby slippers sticking out from under Dorothy's house. In the movie, it is the wizard or "the man behind the curtain." To go further, both stories have an unseen, near-omnipotent character behind the scenes, calling the shots. Goodwin is also the name of one of the Others in Lost. A third name reference is James Goodwin, which is the Wizard's name in the Russian translation of The Wizard of Oz by Alexander Volkov. Benjamin Linus, formerly known as "Henry Gale", seems to be at a higher level in the Others' chain of command than Tom, which could indicate that Tom "works" for him. (" The Hunting Party") Zeke was one of Henry Gale's farmhands in the movie. Friendly), an Other who was called Zeke by Sawyer. Dorothy says "You came back." And the Tin Man says "Well of course we would Dorothy, what did you think, we were going to leave you here?"Īnother name reference is Tom (Mr. What did you think, I was going to leave you here?" In the Wizard of Oz movie, there is a scene with Dorothy locked in a room at the witch's tower. When the blast door opens and "Henry Gale" runs to him, Locke says "You came back." Ben/Henry says "Well of course I did. In the episode Lockdown, Locke is on the floor with the blast door crushing his leg. Friendly (Tom), or to a greater degree Alvar Hanso, was in charge. the real leader of the Others, while previously we were led to believe that Mr. This analogy could be taken one step further by assuming that "Henry", like the Wizard, was the "man behind the curtain", i.e. It was cited by Damon Lindelof at Comic Con '06 as being a confirmed reference. "Henry" further claimed his wife died of a mysterious sickness, a story he maintained even during a brutal interrogation by Sayid. He claimed that he was Henry Gale, a wealthy miner from Minnesota who crashed on the Island with his wife, Jennifer, in a hot air balloon. Benjamin Linus, a member of the Others, assumed this man's name when he was captured by Danielle Rousseau and given over to the survivors. He somehow died and was buried next to his balloon. In Lost, a man named Henry Gale, attempting to cross the Pacific Ocean in a hot air balloon, crashed on the Island. Also in the story, the Wizard travels to the land of Oz in a hot air balloon. "Henry Gale," (the name Ben initially gives when captured) is the name of Dorothy's uncle in the 1939 film (in the book his surname is never mentioned). Its parallels to Lost have caused much speculation concerning the show's theories.

Though the book has never actually been featured in Lost (although it was mentioned by Locke in the episode " The Man Behind the Curtain", which takes its name from the film), The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has been compared to the TV series multiple times by fans. Dorothy follows the Yellow Brick Road's path to the Emerald City where she encounters trouble with the Wicked Witch of the West and meets some fascinating friends along the way. The Good Witch of the North gives Dorothy the Wicked Witch of the East's ruby slippers and advises her to go to the Emerald City where she can consult the Wizard of Oz in order to return to Kansas.

It eventually lands in Munchkin Land ("Munchkin Country" in the books) which is part of the Land of Oz, dropping on the Wicked Witch of the East. Dorothy is knocked unconscious and dreams that their home is caught in the cyclone's winds, with Dorothy still inside. In the 1939 movie version of the story (the details from the original book are quite different) Dorothy Gale lives with her Uncle Henry Gale and Aunt Emily Gale on a farm in Kansas, which is one day hit by a tornado. Like Adventures of Alice in Wonderland, the story chronicles the adventures of a girl transported to a strange and magical world. One of the most famous adaptations is the 1939 musical The Wizard of Oz, starring Judy Garland as Dorothy. It was adapted into many movies, musicals and stage productions. It is one of the best-known stories in American popular culture and has been widely translated. After its publication, the original book was reprinted countless times, often under the name "The Wizard of Oz". The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children's book written by L.
