If you haven’t seen the series, check it out. It has an ensemble cast, they’re far from home, they can’t get back, they’re in peril… sound familiar? So many similarities, but in a great way. I’m no fan of the zombie genre and I love the show. I have lots of company, some of whom may be familiar to you…
Just as the standard editions of Tweets O’ the Week are not spoiler-free for LOST, these tweets are not spoiler-free for either LOST or The Walking Dead, so you have been warned!
danieldaekim Watching ep 3 of #thewalkingdead. I'm hooked. Sometimes It even reminds me of #LOST in the best of ways. Live together, die alone, right? ;) 1:49 PM Nov 27th
themaincourse I wish the cast of #Lost was the cast if #walkingdead. 7:24 PM Nov 28th
benmekler Rick = Jack. Hope I love him eventually too, but for now...he's testing my patience. #teamshane #thewalkingdead #lost 7:43 PM Nov 28th
ShortNSweetShow I was discussing with my cousin that I think I like Shane more because I'm still projecting my Sawyer love onto him. #WalkingDead #Lost -L 7:47 PM Nov 28th
That_Just_In #thewalkingdead needs Sawyer #lost 7:59 PM Nov 28th 
Jason_delaRosa I think I've found my new #LOST. Leaves me wanting more every damn time I watch. #TheWalkingDead 8:08 PM Nov 28th
Mynewyorkad #TheWalkingDead is like #Lost with zombies. Hell yes! 8:22 PM Nov 28th
jflowlu I can't say it enough how awesome #WalkingDead is. Its #LOST in a post zombiepocalypse world instead of a magical island. 9:01 PM Nov 28th
DamonLindelof My standard for a great TV show is that I am actually personally threatened by its awesomeness. Damn you, WALKING DEAD. #SCHADENFREUDE 9:00 PM Nov 29thWell, it was bound to happen: last week I saw my first tweet from a LOSTie who hated TWD for its similarities to LOST. I tweeted that I don’t mind when shows do things in a similar manner to LOST when they’re done well. Here are a few replies:
LOSTNVA @Loster21 I get a #LOST vibe from everything I watch these days it seems. Miss it much still. 8:32 PM Nov 28th in reply to Loster21Amen my friend!
ShereenElkadem @Loster21 the only thing they have in common is their both fantastic people driven shows #thewalkingdead 8:32 PM Nov 28th in reply to Loster21
OnBakerStreet @Loster21 Gah!I hate that. The inevitable comparison. It's similar in that it's a character-driven survival story.That's what makes it good 8:37 PM Nov 28th in reply to Loster21On the other hand, last week’s episode was – hmm – familiar?
I write reviews of The Walking Dead for UK site Simply Television which are also published here on LOSTblog on the Friday after the US premieres, which is when the UK gets the episodes. This means that I am lucky enough to have access to preview the episodes, along with site editor/owner Tom Wilson. We both couldn’t help but notice all of the similarities to LOST when we previewed the most recent episode, “Wildfire.”
tomwilson23 Enjoy #thewalkingdead peoples. Watch out for the outrageous Lost ness of it. 6:59 PM Nov 28thWe were not alone. There were one or two familiar aspects…
jflowlu "We don't kill the living.-Thats funny coming from a man who put a gun to my head."-Jack and Sawyer, is that you? #WalkingDead #LOST 8:10 PM Nov 28th… but when we were introduced to a lone man in a bunker, Twitter exploded:
ShortNSweetShow Oh my God, this is so #Lost right now. Hatch! #WalkingDead -L 7:51 PM Nov 28th
onopacto10 #thewalkingdead just pulled a major #lost move with the underground CDC lab. It's Desmond and the Hatch all over again. 7:51 PM Nov 28th
jaywearspants looks like the CDC is in the Swan Hatch from #lost in this episode of #thewalkingdead 7:52 PM Nov 28th
cynicgrrl This scene is reminding me of Desmond in the hatch on #Lost. Series suddenly takes a new turn. #thewalkingdead 7:52 PM Nov 28th
julieglyons He is in the hatch #LOST #thewalkingdead 7:52 PM Nov 28th
TheAllanMuir Now Walking Dead really is Lost with the pseudo hatch. #walkingdead #lost 7:54 PM Nov 28th
lourdes_g DESMOND! Oh...wait, wrong show. #walkingdead #lost 7:54 PM Nov 28th
tropicalT1na If #lost has taught me anything it's that isolated men living underground are not particularly well adjusted. #thewalkingdead 7:56 PM Nov 28th
aouaLOST Anyone else getting #LOST Desmond in the Hatch flashbacks on tonight's #TheWalkingDead ? 7:56 PM Nov 28th
jpkmensah lol OPEN THE HATCH #LOST #thewalkingdead 7:57 PM Nov 28th
grlong85 Is this the hatch from #Lost? #thewalkingdead 7:58 PM Nov 28th
ivanctorres #thewalkingdead !!!!! It's the Hatch in #lost!!!! 7:58 PM Nov 28th
Gobosox54 ha ha who else thought of the light coming on in the hatch :) #TheWalkingDead #Lost 8:00 PM Nov 28th
nostrum354 Who else thought "Desmond in the hatch?" #theWalkingDead #lost 8:00 PM Nov 28th
WStaats8 #LOST vibe tonight on #TheWalkingDead 8:01 PM Nov 28th
purehero #TheWalkingDead definitely seems to be diverging from the books. Also seeing the #Lost parallels after they were pointed out. 8:01 PM Nov 28th ivanctorres The guy in CDC in #thewalkingdead Is our Desmond in the Hatch! #lost 8:03 PM Nov 28th
lostdogs20 @billkava I was thinking the cdc guy reminded me of Kelvin. #LOST #thewalkingdead 8:06 PM Nov 28th
jedstoneham Everyone on The Walking Dead found each other in purgatory and the door opened and they walked into the light and into heaven. #LOST 8:29 PM Nov 28th
Tommytrojan11 Wow #TheWalkingDead ended with a #Lost Locke smashing the hatch moment. My new favorite show. 9:01 PM Nov 28th
CFitzsimons The #WalkingDead = ( #Lost Season 1 + Desmond - Smokey ) x #Zombies Season 7 9:10 PM Nov 28th
zotmania All that's missing from #walkingdead episode r the numbers. #Lost 9:18 PM Nov 28th
MjGuzman25 Anyone get a "hatch"moment from #Lost at the end of #TheWalkingDead? I'm loving this show! 9:40 PM Nov 28th
Papa_C_Los Apparently I wasn't the only one thinking that #Thewalkingdead was like #lost tonight. 9:55 PM Nov 28th
kunaldpatel CDC = The Hatch. Rick = Jack. Rick's Wife = Kate. Shane = Sawyer. The Walking Dead makes sense now. #imjustsayin #thewalkingdead #lost 8:58 PM Nov 30th
subramanianr_13 #THEWALKINGDEAD has so many #LOST moments in it. It's just the 'tu ru ru ru ru ru ru ru ru ru' background score that's missing =P 1:30 PM Dec 2ndAnd my personal favorite of all the LOSTie TWD tweets:
eddyrivas Is CDC dude going to ask Rick what one snowman said to the other? #Lost #WalkingDead 9:09 PM Nov 28thThanks to all the LOSTies who tweeted about The Walking Dead this week, please keep it up! The season finale (only six episodes in this season) premieres on Sunday, December 5 at 10 pm EDT on AMC in the US.
