4. Were there any zombies in Lost amongst all those alternate timelines, four-toed statues and frozen donkey wheels? What was the deal with Christian Shephard?

Leave World War Z alone… patchy?
Pfft, I’ll patch your eye!
it’s bollocks clampers and you know it.
Just read the book again.
The book by Max Brooks was actually very good, sharply observed satire.
The whole zombie thing is deep ingrained US fear of enemies who are unafraid to die – discuss.
Or thieving junkies
the book was outstanding
Matthew Fox had a rather large role in World War Z that was cut down to a cameo, they shot the whole thing with a totally different Russian-based ending that tested really badly, so they re-did the whole thing in Wales with Doctor Who as the WHO Doctor.
A missed opportunity though, would’ve been much better in a documentary-style format with narration with more of a global sense to it. Maybe an 8-part HBO series or something, rather than the schlocky scarefest that it turned into towards the end.
Oh yay. More zombies.
