The Lost/Walking Dead thing just kind of popped up in the early hours of the morning when I was trying to get to sleep. I started writing stuff down, wondering if it would make sense when I was fully conscious. It did. So here you go - a rough list of similarities between characters from The Walking Dead and Lost.
Notes: Most of the Lost stuff applies more to the early seasons, before everything got so complicated. I haven't read The Walking Dead comics, so this is based on season 1 of the show. I am aware that TWD can change it up any time and a lot of this might not be relevant next season, or even next week. This is just one fan's thoughts on the similarites between the characters of the two shows. Please don't eat me.
Rick Grimes = Jack Shephard
Main character. Hero complex. Leader. Bleeding heart. Occasional dumbass.
Lori Grimes = Kate Austen
Main female. Love triangle. Tough. Gets quite a bit of fan hate.
Shane Walsh = Sayid Jarrah
Military experience. Enforcer. Good guy gone astray. Obsessed with a woman.
Andrea = Juliet Burke
Tough. Independent. Blonde. Stubborn. Motivated by love for sister.
Amy = Claire Littleton
Young. Sweet. Loved by almost everyone. Lost to tragedy (death / insanity).
Daryl Dixon = Sawyer Ford
Outcast. Redneck. Fearless. Bitch. Selfish. Badass.
Dale Horvath = John Locke
Trusted. Old. Voice of reason. Wise. "Substitute Grandpa."
Glenn = Miles Straume
Funny. Sarcastic. Asian. Comic relief.
Carol Peletier = Sun Kwon
Scared wife. Eventually grows a pair. Protects bastard husband.
Dr. Edwin Jenner = Desmond Hume
Alone with a computer. Slightly crazy because of it. Killed his partner. Keeps a picture of the woman he loved & lost.
Morgan & Duane = Michael & Walt
Father & son. African-American. Lost mother. Kid likes comics.
The CDC = The Hatch / The Swan
Underground. Safe. Research facility. Alone. Only person left killed his partner, who was in charge. Countdown clock. Explosion.
I thought there were too many parallels to not bring it up. *shrug*
