That's interesting, though. What made you and your roommate think it was like "Lost" was the survivalish aspect of the show, the mundane, run-of-the-mill steps necessary to keep suriving in that situation, i.e., washing clothes by hand.
Whereas the other comparisons to "Lost", mentioned above, seemed to be that the show was veering away from a simple survival story into something else.
I really felt this last episode was affecting and powerful, portending great and terrible things. We’ve learned of the carnage that has occurred, the chaos the dead have created. Now, it’s time to show what the lingering aftereffects of their unexplained presence on the living will be. Will people gather together, or tear each other apart? Will they run and hide, stand and fight, lay down and die? Or will they, like Merle trapped on that rooftop, do literally
anything to survive?
