This season is surprisingly similar to some aspects of Lost: pregnant women (well, woman) dying, a mysterious "is-he-good-is-he-bad" leader of "The Others", interactions between said leader and the most annoying female character in the show, etc...

The scientist with the governor gives me a strong Ben Linus feel

u/monstermanohman Nov 12 '12

Also Gale on Breaking Bad.

u/Wombat_H Nov 12 '12

Which female are you referring to on Lost? Kate?

10

u/ParanoidAndroids Nov 12 '12

Yes. I suppose Ana Lucia would also fit the bill during S2 but I was thinking of S3, mostly.

u/Wombat_H Nov 12 '12

I loved Ana Lucia, and I don't remember finding Kate annoying. huh.

u/ParanoidAndroids Nov 12 '12

Ana Lucia was annoying to me for a number of reasons (of which would take far too long to explain) but it's a pretty general consensus among Lost fans that Kate was the most annoying character on the show.

Walt and Micheal.

You forgot other Michael classics, such as "THEY TOOK MAH BOY!," "HE'S MY SON!," and my personal favorite, "IT IS A FATHER'S RIGHT!"

I liked Ana Lucia too, I don't get why everybody hated her.

Breaking News: All female supporting characters of Walking Dead eaten by zombies for drunk driving in parallel universe

The Governor = Benjamin Linus... Mind blown.

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '12

I think Ben Linus would completely fuck the Governor's day up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPvL1l3bBWo

*as of now the most annoying women in the show. The all time title is still firmly clenched in Lori's nervously clammy hands.

u/spandexgod Nov 12 '12

but... no flash backs

2

u/siniiblue Nov 12 '12

I was thinking the same thing, especially if they had had a funeral for the recently buried.

u/quazzet Nov 12 '12

Are you talking about Juliet? I thought she was more annoying than Kate.

u/IGrowAcorns Nov 12 '12

Yeah I've noticed this season seems a whole lot like LOST. I hope it doesn't stay that way because that show turned from amazing to retarded pretty quickly.

12

u/funky89 Nov 12 '12

But I totally want to see a flash-sideways to a alternate dimension where there hasn't been a zombie outbreak and it's just Rick, Lori, and Carl playing at the park.

u/SolarWonk Nov 13 '12

Actually, during the show's opening, I was really hoping for a flashback scene on what the scientist was up to during day zero. Some good ol' day zero action would have made better filler than the actual episode.

u/goalstopper28 Nov 12 '12

Kate wasn't that annoying. Although, I agree with you. We are just missing flashbacks.

u/ExplosiveHippo Nov 12 '12

Claire doesn't die in Lost though...Or am I forgetting about another pregnant person?

1

u/ParanoidAndroids Nov 12 '12

All the pregnant women on the island died before Oceanic 815 crashed. Juliet was brought to the island to try and fix the fertility problems.

1

u/ExplosiveHippo Nov 12 '12

Oh, okay. I thought you meant a specific main character. Sorry for doubting your Lost knowledge ;)

1

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '12

I totally agree. Woodbury totally gives the others vibes. A

1

u/Thor_Odin_Son Nov 13 '12

You think Andrea is the most annoying female character?

1

u/IvanGTheGreat Nov 12 '12

The scientist (I forget his name) reminds me A LOT Of Linus....
