It seems to me as though the others wouldn't have buried him, unless ex-Henry buried him to create a background story for himself.

If someone else buried Henry, who was it and where is he/her?

My guess is that the real Mrs. Henry Gale buried the real Mr. Henry Gale, and that the Others captured her and obtained Mr. Henry Gale's background info (mining company, from Minnesota, etc.) from her. That would explain why the Driver License was buried along with the body and why the Gale imposter drew the map. He didn't know the Driver License was in there.

The same guy who buried Paul? ;)

If I had to guess, I'd agree with the above poster and say Mrs. Gale. If not, perhaps a partner of some sort who is dead in the jungle somewhere.

The same guy who buried Paul? ;).

lol

yeah id agree with the post.

Don't have a clue who buried him, but can't believe it was a partner--wife or not. As I recall the balloon basket was tiny--really tiny, could 2 people even fit in such cramped quarters?? Doesn't make sense it was 2 to me--seems like a solo flight around the world--kind of like Desmond's race around the world--only with a balloon!

I'm just thinking fake Gale did and stole the ID.
Maybe we should be asking how did he die?

Evening! My thoughts were that Mr. Eko buried the real Hanry Gale. I recall the little chat he had in the hatch with the fake Henry when he told him "I know you are lying" and told him the story of him being attacked and burying the man in the jungle after he killed him. Then he cut some hair off his chin and dropped in on the floor. It was a creepy scene that has stayed with me. This is my first post so be kind. LOL :grin:

whoa interesting thought.The question is, is the tailies camp closer to the balloon then the other losties? Cause sayid said it was a days walk.

And didn't ana lucia say that the others had no ID?

Welcome to the 'Lage! :biggrin:

I suppose it's theoretically possible that Mr. Eko buried the real Henry Gale, but I seriously doubt he actually killed him (if that's what you're implying). Also, in his "confession" with the Gale impostor, Mr. Eko neither directly accused him of lying nor mentioned burying anyone.

Hope I wasn't too rough on ya. ;)

Evening! And welcome! Though I am little skeptical, I believe your theory has merit. Eko is mysterious, period. It's hard to tell what he means when he speaks. Telling Locke about the film he found in the bible required a story that began, "Let me start at the beginning..." (which turned out to be millennia before Christ). I absolutely agree with you re: the scene of Eko with Henry. Quite a strange scene. :)

Something is sure fishy. It could be that NotHenry was sent to deal with the real henry after he and his wife crashed. Henry's wife died, not Henry shows up and befriends him, learns about who he is, and where he's from. When the times comes, and he is caught accidentally, he uses this Henry's name and info as a cover.

Could also be that he did not bury Henry, and was given this information as his cover to infultrate the losties, and was told where the balloon was.

Man, it's late, I'm tired.

yeah, i didn't quite get the point of cutting his beard in front of another man..maybe it's a cultural thing..native tradition or something..I'm not quite sure..what i know is blood compact..but shaving..I got lost on that scene..going back to the topic..the whole burying the real henry gale is quite a catch...It might be a plot from the others, that is if the fake henry is an other :confused:

The fake Gale must have been involved with burying the real Gale, otherwise howw would he know his name? The real question is why would the fake Gale bother to use Henry Gales name in stead of his real name? unless his real name will be familiar to the Losties:- DeGroot, Hanso, candle?

I want a flashback of the REAL Henry Gale :grin:

The "real" Henry's wife buried him and the last we saw of her was on the boat, throwing the Molitav cocktail at the Lostie's raft - the blonde gal (?????). She told the Others her story and that is how they know about him and the balloon story. But they didn't know about his driver's license being buried with him.

i think that the significance of him cutting off his beard was that he killed two of the others, and he cut two almost little goatee things off symbolizing the two men he had killed?

my theory on who burried henry gale is that the others (the fake henry being one of them) found him in the jungle and captured him...from then on they interrogated him and got some baisic background info. they then killed the fake henry and burried him under his smiley face balloon. This may have even happened after the losties crashed, (probably unlikely because it would be hard to miss a big red and yellow balloon crashing down on the island, but it couldve happened at night-you never kno) it would give the others a good background story instead of "im from canada and i'm in the peace corps". just a thought

I think the fake Gale/ others did it. His wife coukdb't have done it unless she explained to fake Gale her and her husbands situation after she buried him. Personally, I dont even think Jennifer Gale exists, it was just all part of fake Gale's aliby.

Am I alone in thinking that NotHenry is not nescearrily an 'other', yes, other as in different, but other as in other. I'm not convinced.

For whatever reason I think NotHenry buried Henry. Maybe, NotHenry is a Dharma guy, but one who isn't buying into the others current actions and is thus kind of rogue. Maybe he befriended henry and left the 'others' behind. Henry died, maybe of 'the sickness' and NotHenry assumed his identity to meet the losties. Maybe as suggested because he has a recognisable name.

He knows something about the swan

The 'Others' left goodwin to rot in the open. If NotHenry had wanted to avoid this exact situation they couldve left the balloon in situ, and not mentioned a grave or wife at all

I think the Eko thing was a symbolic way of saying that he has been carrying the burden of two very grave sins, and when he "confessed" what he did to ex-Henry Gale he felt that his sins had been absolved he took the weight off (the two little beard thingies). I dont think Eko was the one that buried Henry Gale.

I think it was Mrs. Gale like it was stated above, this other just took their story and adapted it. Im sure the balloon is supposed to be big enough, because ex-Henry Gale didnt want to be caught as a liar, he would have known that if the balloon was only for one person his alibi would have been proved wrong regardless if Sayid unburied the corpse.

You only go through the burial process for the ones you love and care about. Given our history of the Others, I'm not sure they are the "loving and caring" kind.

I think that Real-Henry was buried by his baloon partner. The question is what happened to him/her?

the real Henry Gale was prob as other as well

the real Henry Gale was prob as other as well

well it seems that he came there in the balloon, but if he didnt and was really an other who did come on the balloon.....
