At one of the news events (Paley or ComCon) the writers said yes it was homage to ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST The writers stated they will use whatever inspires them in their past or whatever story, fable, or events that inspires ideas. Apparently they are movie buffs, and extensive readers so we can expect anything in the future to show up… ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS WHAT FUN! I love looking for Easter eggs but I never watched LOST so Easter eggs from other genres will be fun for other viewers like me.
