Walking Dead

i loved Lost, but the last episode kinda blew it for me. my husband had the same gripe you have though, so i totally get your point.

I loved LOST from the beginning. The flashbacks, and how the writers interconnected the people was mind blowing at times, and forced me to institute a "NO talking during LOST" rule in our house. I was a bit let down with the ending. I wish they had answered some of the questions as the story moved along instead of throwing a big brain twister at the end.

Biggest difference is that TWD is based off a graphic novel (or comic book) that won awards for it's story lines along with it's graphics so there's a clear plan on how the show 'can' progress. They're changing writers for the second season so there's a chance the show can get better OR worse depending on their talent. Scarier than seeing the living dead walking down your street if you ask me. I don't like it when a show changes a winning formula.

yeah whynotvap, i'm a little worried about the new writers thing as well. i don't want em to F it up! it's sooooo good!

that's exactly how i felt about Lost too, technovapir. like, exactly.

They've set the first air dates for October 21st on German TV so it's expected to be another Halloween opener here.

And RE: Writers... when you actually go back, most of the episodes done by the original writing team were rejected and didn't air. So I think we'll be OK w/ the revised Graphic Novel continuity.

I guess we'll just have to wait and hope for the best. BTW, nice to see another Dr. Who fan. I felt a little misled with 'The Doctor's Wife' not being who I thought it would be... but, I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how well the new Dr. is doing after the almost Tom Baker like performance/following of David Tennant! I think another season or two and he would have replaced Tom as the most loved Dr. of all time.

I still have to watch the rest of season 1 of the walking dead. My walking dead connection hasn't given up the last episodes.

also waiting to be able to see season 6 of Dr. who...was all set to watch it on BBC streaming and couldn't

[MagnusEunson]

Well, since somebody on the thread hasn't seen Season 6 of Doctor Who I won't spoil it...

However, the story-line started in The Doctor's Wife is not nearly as closed as you may think. Season 7's 2012/2013 run will address that more specifically. I promise. -Magnus

that's ok- i don't mind spoilers- talk away...

[MagnusEunson]

No, this would be just ruin and ruin. Besides, there is a Doctor Who thread in the Lounge where I've already spilled everything I can and almost everything I know. -Magnus
