I love season 5, though I didn't really warm up to it until I rewatched it just prior to season 6.

Box factory wasn't a "Lost" reference? Walter White has more than a little in common with John Locke….

The Walking Dead has yet to make a compelling case why any of its characters are useful to begin with, IMO.

The character who should have been killed off in season 6 was Sawyer IMO. After Juliet died, he really didn't have a storyline anymore. And a good, "I'm a hugely popular character and I'm sacrificing myself for the good of the group" kind of death is just what that season needed (aside from the Sayid/Sun/Jin trifecta…
