LOST Anagrams

anagram
noun
1. a word, phrase or sentence formed from another by rearranging its letters.

I don't know about you, but I love figuring out the anagrams that the LOST producers and writers cleverly embed in episodes of the show each season. Take a look at what they've delivered so far, inadvertently or otherwise:

ANTHONY COOPER ADAM SEWARD
[the real Sawyer; 2 of Locke's dad's aliases]:

Sawyer, the con man, a poor dad

BENJAMIN LINUS
[evil Other leader Ben]:

Blame in Jin, Sun

DANIELLE ROUSSEAU
[a.k.a. crazy French lady; Alex's mom]:

A Real Lie Used On Us

ETHAN ROM
[dead Other surgeon who kidnapped Claire]:

Other Man

GARY TROUP
[guy who got sucked into turbine in Pilot ep.; author of Bad Twin book & manuscript read by Sawyer]:

Purgatory

HENRY GALE MINNESOTA
[Ben's fake name/hometown,which he stole from deceased hot air balloonist Henry Gale]:

See An Other Man Lying

HERARAT Aviation [where Juliet left for island]:
Her a Rat or Earhart (as in Amelia)

HOFFS/DRAWLAR
[funeral home Jack visits in the future]:

Flash Forward

MITTELOS BioScience

MORIAH VINEYARDS
[where Desmond was a monk]:

NAOMI DORRIT

Cocaine
(not sure of the significance, but it's interesting; Charlie used heroin, not coke, FYI)
