Apparently I'm one of the ten Americans who thought Lost was a pointless show. Cody, you do have some valid points about Walking Dead, but ultimately...Walking Dead is cooler than Lost. Its got zombies and guns and so far they don't feed the need for stupid fake smoke monsters and moving islands and assinine plot twists to keep a show alive because the network wants to keep it alive as a advertisment money maker.
No, you're not alone. I personally hated Lost. I hated the characters, I hated the ridiculous excuse for a plot, I hated the ending. Pretty much the only thing I appreciated about Lost was the injection of a lot of pretty cool sci-fi tropes into main-stream culture. However, it's my opinion that's not good enough. For instance, Fringe does this in a much, much better way; AND it's got better character development, plot hooks, and world-building.
The Walking Dead is a flawed show. This is true. The six-episode season gave very little chance to really get to know the characters. HOWEVER, it established a great base for expanding on them in the next seasons.
Cody, you're awesome, but I just can't agree with you on this one.
