One of the fun things about Lost is thinking about all the philosophical, religious and literary references.
Not so much fun--discovering they come from Wikipedia searches:
EW: How about Matthew Abbaddon?
[Lost producer] LINDELOF: ''Abaddon,'' we dug that one out of Wikipedia. When we name people, we often do Web searches on certain verbiage or if we want to pull something out of Greek mythology or Native American mythology, like, ''Who was the god of wheat?''
